Thrifty Thursday: Take Advantage of Free Shipping This Holiday Season

In addition to price-matching, you can also save money this holiday season by shopping online stores that offer free shipping. In fact, many of the stores that offer free shipping, or flat-rate shipping, have adjusted their shipping policies to be even more beneficial to consumers.

For example, Barnes & Noble now offers free shipping to B&N members who spend just $10, Overstock is offering $1 shipping through November 25, 2009, and Yankee Candle has reduced their flat-rate shipping to just $5 for orders under $100.
