Pick up Dunkin' Donuts packaged coffee where you buy groceries.  Most varieties are available in 11-12 oz. bags that retail for a suggested price of $8.99.

Look for early bird shopper discounts - Stores offering early morning shopper specials usually run the deals from 5 a.m. until 11 a.m. Start your day early by brewing Dunkin' Donuts® packaged coffee at home – available at your local grocery store - and show up to your favorite retailer fresh and ready to start shopping as soon as the doors open.

Set a budget – Set a budget and a dollar amount for each person on your gift list. If you stay under budget, reward yourself by buying a little something just for you.

Ship early - If you're sending gifts to out-of-towners, factor in extra time for shipping. If you wait until the last minute, you may pay a hefty price for express or overnight shipping.

Bring your own bags – Be eco-friendly and bring your own reusable tote bags rather than using a new bag for each gift purchase.

Shop from the comfort of your own home – If you're crowd averse, brew a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee and shop at home on Cyber Monday, avoiding Black Friday crowds.

Dress the part – Wear comfortable shoes for standing in line and all of those laps around the mall. Your feet will thank you for it.

Think outside the box – The most special gifts are often the least expensive and may not require you to fight a crowd at the mall. Consider scrapbooks, homemade treats with a recipe and other personalized gifts to keep your budget in check and show your thoughtful side.  

Fortify yourself - Start your morning with a good breakfast and Dunkin' Donuts coffee at home before you start shopping.  Carry a bottle of water to sip on during your shopping trip.

Tap into social media sites for deals - Use your normal social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to catch time-sensitive deals. Retailers often publish coupon codes on a variety of social media to get the word out.

Get easy gifts out of the way early – Instead of the usual monetary tips for the paper boy, the babysitter and the mailman, keep them running on Dunkin' Donuts coffee this year. Purchase a few extra bags on your next trip to the grocery store so those presents don't have to come out of the December shopping budget.
