What makes a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal worth it?

Get familiar with prices in the days leading up to Black Friday. ShopSavvy and other shopping tools, like PayPal and Honey, can also alert you to price drops for specific items and compare prices across retailers so you can find the best deals.

Sometimes getting the gift on your list is more important than getting the deepest discount. If you really want something, it may be better to just go ahead and get it since things can sell out.
