Every year around the holidays all of the large shopping resources online, malls and many stores offer a number of items with rebates or even "Free After Rebate". They do this, simply because they know most people won't submit the rebate when all is said and done. Do it! Free Dora the Explorer stuff is absolutely worth it.



Thanksgiving and post-Thanksgiving early bird sales are chaotic and exhausting, but are a great way to get amazing deals on Dora merchandise. I went last year and got over 75% off the hottest new Dora the Explorer toy!



Use online auctions. Ebay and other online auction sites like Yahoo Auctions and others are a great way to bargain hunt. Be certain of the seller's reputation and keep an eye out for shipping discounts. Buying more than one Dora the Explorer product from someone and getting combined shipping is a great way to increase your Dora collection cheaply.



At garage sales people are constantly selling Dora the Explorer and other toys they have outgrown. You can use the classifieds in your local newspaper to look for headlines that mention Dora stuff or even just stop at garage and yard sales when you're out and about. Thrift stores and resale shops are also good places to check for used Dora the Explorer items.



Last, but not least, sites like Craigslist and Yahoo Groups can help you to save money on Dora the Explorer buys and gifts. Craigslist allows people to sell their items for free so it's usually cheaper than ebay, plus it's local. Yahoo Groups allows like minded people (like Dora fans) to get together online and discuss, buy, sell, trade or whatever Dora the Explorer stuff. What a great way to save money on Dora things and maybe even make a new friend too!
