Holiday shoppers plan to spend $776 on gifts this season, on average.
Holiday shoppers plan to spend $776 on gifts this holiday season, on average, according to a recent NerdWallet survey conducted by The Harris Poll.
But contrary to what you might think, a season full of spending can also be an opportunity for saving .
When asked which methods they plan to use to save money when shopping for any reason this holiday season, just 36% of Americans said they'll use money-saving apps, according to the NerdWallet survey.
Coupon apps such as ShopSavvy, Flipp and The Coupons App can help shoppers compare prices, clip coupons and even browse nearby deals based on their location.
That advice comes from NerdWallet personal finance expert Kimberly Palmer.
Even fewer Americans plan to take advantage of doorbusters, according to the NerdWallet survey.
But especially for big-ticket purchases such as TVs or gaming consoles, taking advantage of the limited-time, limited-quantity doorbusters offered by retailers on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday can be beneficial.
“If there's an item you have your eye on, and you expect it to be marked down significantly on Black Friday, that can be a great opportunity to score a deal,” Palmer says.
Many doorbuster deals are available both in store and online, so the cold and the crowds don't have to deter your deal searching.
Although an overwhelming 70% of Americans admit to having regifted a holiday present at some point.
If you're going to regift, ensure the item is in mint condition.
