How to tell a real deal
- Look for the crossed-out price. Amazon shows the usual price next to the sale price. A real deal is usually at least 20% off.
- Check the stars and the number of reviews. Pick items with 4 stars or more and plenty of reviews. A cheap price on a poorly rated item is not a deal.
- Watch for the clock. Lightning deals have a timer and a "% claimed" bar. If you like it, add it to your cart before it sells out.
- Check the delivery date. Make sure it arrives before you need to wrap it.
- Buy early on the big stuff. The most popular deals often sell out on Black Friday morning.
