This is not going to be a normal Black Friday. So many of us are feeling the pinch of rising bills and that means that we need good bargains more than ever – but we don’t have money to waste.
So, Black Friday could be something you ignore this year as you try to save money or it could be something you are relying on to make Christmas work. If you’re feeling the pressure to spot the serious savings then here’s how to find the real deals.
This year, this American festival of shopping falls on November 25th. Remember, though, although we talk about Black Friday but often retailers turn it into ‘Black Friday Week’ with deals and discounts being advertised well in advance.
So if you know there’s a specific item you’re looking for then don’t wait until the Friday to hunt it down.
Make sure you’re watching for bargains at least a week in advance. BUT the other side of this is not to be rushed. Some websites will make deals time limited and even warn that ‘product is low’ or that other people are shopping. That can be a clever marketing trick designed to put pressure on you and stop you thinking clearly about whether it’s a genuine deal.
