Hashtags are great for organization, but bad in that anyone can tweet anything.   So if it sounds too good to be true, it might be.   But major retailers and smaller merchants alike are using the hashtags to spread the word about special deals.   Bonus: Go to search.twitter.com and click advanced search to filter tweets to your local area.

 

Who says only mayors get the best deals?   Those tips you are used to seeing whenever you check in to a restaurant or store can be extra valuable this week.   I searched Black Friday in my immediate area and quickly found five stores mentioning discounts for checking in to the special sales.   One sale was for 20 percent off and was applicable for the entire Thanksgiving week.
