Use your smartphone to be a smart shopper.

Did you know Target is offering to price-match online prices for Black Friday and holiday shopping?  According to Target’s Holiday Price Match Policy, just show the lower internet price from your smartphone to a Target store employee and they’ll match the price.  The Holiday Price Match runs November 1 – December 24 and will be honored if found on selected websites such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and ToysRUs.com.  You won’t have to wait for an online retailer to ship your purchases and you’ll pay less.  Sweeten the price-match even more by paying with discount gift cards.

Choose your Black Friday stores and save more.

If you’ve shopped on Black Friday before, you know there are dependable retailers who offer unbeatable deals year and year again.  Some of these stores are Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us.  If you know you’re going to be shopping at a retailer that Plastic Jungle has gift cards for, give yourself extra savings by buying discount gift cards to those stores now.  What if the gift card brand you want is out of stock?  Set up an Alert so you can be the first to know when they are back in stock.  A little planning today could mean getting more for less on Black Friday.

You don’t know why, but it’s just been really hard for you to part with that $50 gift card your mom got you last year.  It’s not for a store your regularly frequent [hence why you have not spent it] but you don’t want to hurt her feelings.  Okay… let’s be honest.  You haven’t used the card this ENTIRE calendar year.  I think it’s time to purge.  But… do a financially healthy purge by selling your gift card to Plastic Jungle.  You can convert the unused gift card into an Amazon.com gift card and unlock access to Black Friday online deals at Amazon.com.  I think your mom would be proud of how you got a good deal with a present she gave you.

The much-anticipated new Apple iPad is coming to Apple retailer stores (including Best Buy) this week beginning on Friday (3/16).  Enhanced with stunning high-resolution Retina display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera which lets you shoot photos and videos like never before, and the ability to connect to fast 4G networks around the world, the new third-generation iPad takes creative dreams and puts them within reach of your fingertips.  Available in a choice of memory options this time, the new Apple iPad comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB in Apple’s signature colors of white or black.  Prices range from $499 – $829, but when you buy discount Best Buy gift cards to cover your iPad purchase, you can save $41.45 – $24.95!  You can use your savings on your new iPad to offset the cost of an iPad case, wireless keyboard, or other iPad accessory.

With an iPad you can stop hauling around your laptop and netbook and conveniently attach a wireless keyboard to your iPad when doing more frequent typing while traveling.  It’s a lot smaller than a computer, so it fits into small bags and is a lot lighter.
