Shopping

We're getting set to help you save big money and get all your holiday shopping done in one place. Get ready for Cyber Monday with Seize the Deal.

As we welcome summer I decided 'I needed a new grill'.  So I set out to find one that was not too costly and not too big and would withstand a fair amount of use. UGH. I really was totally unprepared for my task, so I went home empty handed.  Here is what I have found in doing some research ‘how to buy a grill’.

You would think that with a sluggish economy, saving money would make Americans happy, but it’s actually spending that can put a smile on their faces.

The economy is getting so tough one store is actually charging customers who don’t buy anything.

I live so much of my life online. If a business does not have some sort of online offering I often don’t give them a second thought. Even if it is enough to get their phone number and address, I will still look for that information online. Waterville is making it easier for us to get this information about area business with mico-websites. Oh, and they are free.

An iPad would normally be considered a pretty substantial gift this holiday season. Thanks to a fortunate error by Best Buy, a couple of shoppers can now use the tablet computer for stocking stuffers.

Retailers are competing hard to get inside your wallet this holiday season, and as a result, there are big savings to be found in checkout lines all across the country. We know a few ways you can take advantage of this.

We all know some of the best sales of the year come right after Christmas. So here's an interesting thought: Why not do your holiday shopping in early January and get more bang for your gift-giving buck?

Black Friday brings out some of the most hilariously strange antics of us Americans. On Thanksgiving we give thanks for all the great stuff in our lives, and just hours later, we're waiting in massive lines and getting in spats with fellow consumers over the latest deals on video games. That's the good ol' USA for you.

An unidentified man has died after a confrontation with two Walmart employees and a contract security guard at the superstore's Lithonia, Georgia, location.

For those holiday shoppers wanting a second chance at the deals they might have missed over Thanksgiving weekend, Cyber Monday awaits. And while there may be a bit less hand-to-hand combat involved, industry experts say that Cyber Monday is great for bargains—as long as you know where to look.

Here's the Saturday-after-Thanksgiving tradition: a smartphone video of a Black Friday riot. This is in Moultrie, GA, and the swarms of people are grabbing cheap pay-as-you-go smartphones. But it's not the only shame to be happening, as the clip you've seen elsewhere isn't legit.

Leave it to Jimmy Kimmel and his crew to make America's favorite comic strip characters into greedy, dirty-mouthed misanthropes, just like the rest of us Black Friday shoppers!

It's not just the big-box stores like Walmart and Target who get mobbed by 'Black Friday' shoppers. Here you can watch as hundreds of women prepare to trample each other for fancy underwear at their local Victoria's Secret.

The big gimmick this Thanksgiving season is retailers beginning their Black Friday sales on Thursday, a day previously reserved for turkey and football with the family. This has understandably annoyed retail employees, who now have to work on what was previously a holiday. It also isn't necessarily winning over consumers.

If you are still trying to figure out where to get the best deal on this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, industry analysts say that Target, not Walmart, is your best bet for coming in under $50.
