How to save on holiday shopping December, key deadlines to know

December is a prime time for holiday shopping savings, with key dates like Cyber Monday and Free Shipping Day offering significant discounts and guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve. If you miss these, Super Saturday allows for last-minute online orders with local store pickups. Post-holiday sales continue as retailers clear inventory, and many offer extended return policies into January, although these may not apply to electronics and big-ticket items.
