Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be here in just a couple of days. Time to take advantage of some great deals for yourself or for others as gifts. I am not one who hits the stores to take advantage of the deals. I do almost all of my Christmas shopping online. I have my list ready and look forward to shopping online Friday and Monday.
According to Mobile
Commerce Daily, on Black Friday last year alone, mobile shopping accounted
for 16 percent of online sales and that number is expected to exceed 20 percent this
year, and a
recent U.S. Cellular survey showed that 39 percent of our smartphone
customers use their
smartphones for shopping. Whether you like to shop from your couch or relish the chaos of visiting
all of the stores during busy shopping times, smartphones can assist in ensuring you are efficient in
your purchases, leaving more time enjoy the rest of the season's offerings.
To assist in the bargain hunting, U. S. Cellular has some strategic tips on how your smartphone can
become you best shopping pal. Here are some ways smartphones are helping users survive these sale
shopping days without breaking a sweat or the bank.
In order to find the
best deals around, the Black Friday App is one app to have at your
fingertips.
This free app is the ultimate Black Friday survival guide, enabling
users to browse "leaked" and verified
ads. It also allows users to price compare
against the best online prices or find a store’s nearby
locations with a tap.
Using this app saves time and helps determine where to get the lowest
price.
Let your smartphone also make the checkout process hassle free with CardStar. Get rid of the store
rewards cards you may have dangling from your keychain or filling up your wallet by loading them into
this app and you'll never lose time or savings searching for the card you need again. After the cards
are stored, you can access them from your phone and cashier will simply use the barcode stored on the
device.

I have my Christmas gift list on my phone. Since my phone is with me all the time, I always know for who and what I still have left to purchase. It has come in very handy when shopping and I see a great deal on an item. I can also check off a gift as soon as I purchase it.
