This has reduced the loss of human dignity during the maddening retail buzz this time of yearDespite that, people seem to wait for the actual “Black Friday” which is the day after Thanksgiving. However, based on an analysis from Consumer Reports, its best to start early as some of the best deals can be found then and the items are more likely to be in stock.Walmart, for example, just announced it will have three "Deals for Days" events staggered throughout November that kick off online and then move to stores. Target's "Deal Days" will Black also span the entire month of November2. Skip the in-store sales and shop online. There will probably be fewer big in-store promotions this year—no reason to attract crowds—and more emphasis on online shopping, with either free delivery or ship-to-store programs with curbside pickup.Most big time stores such as Target, Best Buy and Walmart have already announced they will be closed on Thanksgiving. (which is the way it should be)I honestly hate that people duck out right after Thanksgiving lunch/dinner to go shopping when we should be falling asleep on the couch together, watching football and yelling about politics and family disagreements and dysfunction.3. Use Websites and Apps. The Consumer Reports website lists the current prices at various outlets for the products in our ratings. You can also try Google Shopping, PriceGrabber, and Shopzilla. When you're in a store, smartphone apps such as BuyVia, Shopkick, ShopSavvy, and Shopular let you scan bar codes or QR codes to compare prices, get discounts, and score coupons.Browser extensions like camelcamelcamel and Honey for Chrome and Firefox can help with this and those are free!4. Store loyalty programs offer early access and special coupons so use it them. They can have exclusive offers and make it worth your while.5. Retailers are rewarding those who follow social channels with special offers Why? because it gives them access to you the rest of the year. Follow them for now and unfollow the rest of the year to avoid overspending.  6. Create a budget and STICK TO IT.  Otherwise you will end up like 39% of Americans who report regret over how much they spent on Black Friday. That's 1 in 3 people have regrets over Black Friday! What a terrible thing. On top of that, over half of all Black Friday shoppers report stress after making their purchases.  7. TVs are one of the hottest items that people buy this time of year. The average price of a TV drops 18% during Black Friday sales and for larger TVs, it can be up to 35%. The new models and new tech for TVs are rolling out soon and they are clearing up shelf space for the new line ups.  8. Not ALL Black Friday deals are good deals. If you have a list or atleast an idea of what you are looking to buy, then start paying attention to the prices now. That's because stores know people will buy these items regardless of discount so they take advantage of that. Some stores will even mark the item as on sale for $19.99 when its regular price is $19.99 just to create hype and urgency.  

As we all deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it's a good strategy to stay at home as much as possible and to avoid visiting retail stores in person. One solution to this is to shop online. You should definitely continue to support your favorite local retailers by using their respective websites or proprietary mobile apps to do your shopping. When it comes to accessing a selection of literally millions of personal and household products, however, one easy solution is to use the Amazon mobile app from your smartphone to handle a wide range of your online shopping needs.This episode focuses on ways to use the Amazon mobile app from your smartphone. It also discusses how and when to use price comparison services (such as Google Shopping, PriceGrabber, PriceRunner, and ShopSavvy) to find the lowest prices possible for whatever you're shopping for. Future episodes of Featured App of the Week will cover how to save money when shopping online. From this episode, you'll learn about the convenience offered when you shop using the Amazon mobile app.If you have a suggestion about which app(s) you'd like to hear featured on this podcast, please email Jason Rich at jason@iPhoneAppoftheWeek.com.

Throwback to our very first interview! Originally released, June 2019. For some builders, there is a moment where technical creativity is catalyzed. For others… it starts much earlier. Rylan Barnes has been working with technology since childhood, starting out by programming his legos to move, and all the way through college, where he built early marketplaces for trading textbooks and built physical, automated chess boards. When he started creating a solution for mobile phone barcode scanning, he had no idea the doors it would open and lead to the formation of his most successful product, venture… and exit – called ShopSavvy.

Steven Ray, Chief Creative Officer at Dialexa, is an award-winning Creative Director and Interaction Designer with over 12 years of focus in interaction, visual, and interface design of: websites, software, mobile applications, and product design. He’s worked on an array of products for a diverse range of clients and industries such as Amazon, Evernote, Shopsavvy, FOX entertainment, Appcelerator. Steve is one of the founding members of Dialexa, as well as the two Dialexa Labs companies, Vinli and Robin, that have been on previous episodes. When Steve joined Dialexa back in 2012 he brought along a more comprehensive view on the role of design within our approach to custom product development. Today, Steve leads experience and creative direction at Dialexa partnering closely with clients and developers to create a seamless user experience. He believes that focusing on the user frequently gets shadowed by focusing on the interface and that it’s important to learn about the person and cater the technology to the user rather than make the user figure out how to use the technology or interface. Steve and his team continually bring the latest thinking and techniques in how we design products here at Dialexa, both visually and from a user experience - there is a difference between these two approaches that should never be undervalued. After all the user experience design of a product is such a crucial part of the product’s adoption, engagement, and the eventual business impact. This episode of Custom Made is about the value of designing the wrong product. Now designing the wrong product may sound counterintuitive but stay with me on this. It is a very expensive way to evaluate a new product if you only align stakeholders’ product vision, test with users, and iterate on the user experience once it is in development. You lose both valuable time and money as you revisit/redesign and redevelop features and workflows. With the need to get a product to market quickly, without rushing out poor quality products, identifying ways to be more efficient throughout the product development process is critical. Gaining alignment on the product as early on as possible in the process is a key step to creating a successful product, in a timely manner. For example, stakeholders involved in a project always have a different image in their mind of the what the product is or can do, and it is not until they have something they can see and react to do you really get a true understanding of their expectations of the product. Therefore taking additional time during the research and design to explore and test a range of product sketches and designs can save you time in the long run. After all, if a picture paints a thousand words, then even a basic sketch of your product is more impactful for product alignment than a feature list or product description.
