Parents, don’t click “Buy Now” 🦃
Plus: Our top picks that are a real deal for active kids.
Thanksgiving is here, and so are the tempting deals. But before you hit "Add to Cart," take a minute to rethink what you're buying.
I've learned to be cautious about these sale days. After years of Black Friday adventures (and a few buyer's remorse moments 😅), I’ve become a bit savvier. Trust me, not every “amazing deal” is as amazing as it seems. That’s why I’m sharing a few websites that are fantastic deal trackers that you should use before you click “buy.”
CamelCamelCamel This site shows you the price history of Amazon items. No more wondering if that “deal” is actually a steal!
Slickdeals A community-driven deal-sharing platform. If there’s a hot deal, chances are it’ll show up here.
The Krazy Coupon Lady Don’t let the name fool you - this site is a goldmine for all kinds of deals, including Amazon!
