How to find the deals on AMAZON.COM

So I've noticed a lot of bloggers posting some really great deals on various items from Amazon.com. But I love to find my own deals sometimes and for stuff I might actually want. So I figured out that when you go to www.amazon.com/topholidaydeals you will get a list of all the "lightning deals" on Amazon. For example, I just notice that Chris Tomlin's Christmas album "Glory in the Highest" is going to become a "lightning deal" in just 17 minutes. "Lightning deals" on Amazon sell out quickly, so you have to move fast once the deal becomes available.

Another great deal I noticed is for a few Girl Gourmet items. They usually sell for over $30 and right now (if you check the above link) you can find the cake decorator and cupcake decorator for just $9.99.

Let me know if you end up finding any great deals. I was completely dismayed when I saw the Thomas Spin & Fix train set for just $19.99 a few days ago. It usually retails for $49.99 and I thought I got a great deal on it when I paid $35 (and I price matched and had a coupon...all that work!) So it definitely pays to check out Amazon before spending any money elsewhere!!!

The Spin & Fix is still listed at $25. Can you take your other one back and get this one? If you sign up for the Amazon Prime trial, you can get free 2 day shipping and still get it in time for Christmas!

Another great deal sight that we use frequently during the holidays is www.dealsofamerica.com. This is a list of the best deals on different sites (amazon, buy.com, newegg, etc.)
