Samantha Gordon is the Deals Editor for Consumer Reports. In her role she provides consumers with tips on how to navigate the marketplace, without sacrificing their budgets. In addition to everyday deals, Samantha spotlights major shopping moments such as Prime Day, Back to School, and Black Friday. Samantha Gordon is an avid writer, editor, and consumer with an unusually deep love for finding amazing deals on amazing products, especially when those things can make life a little easier.
Prior to joining CR, Samantha contributed as an editor and writer for several publications, including USA Today. Samantha studied English Creative Writing at Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
“As a shopping editor, I never encourage people to buy just because something is “on sale” or trendy. If you have to spend your hard-earned money, it should always be on things that will actually last and be worth it. And, if there’s a way to get that coveted item without paying full price, I want to help you find it. No one should spend more than they need to or sacrifice what they want for a “budget” option that’s not going to work as well or last as long.
When I’m not monitoring the internet for deals worth sharing, I spend my time editing novels, crocheting and knitting, hiking with my family, cooking, and of course binge-watching TV.”
