Here are some tips and tricks for the upcoming week
Set your budget now. Setting a budget is crucial for Black Friday, especially in 2023. Consider ongoing inflation and financial strains, determine affordable holiday spending for gifts and planned purchases. Allocate amounts for each gift, keeping ideas flexible to capitalize on deals.
Price comparisons. Checking prices before Black Friday may seem unnecessary, but it's a smart way. Knowing current prices builds confidence in the offers you'll encounter. Price comparisons are an absolute must if you want to be sure you're getting the best Black Friday deals possible.
Online Shopping. Traditionally, we'd consider the choice between in-store and online options. However, recent years have seen retailers striking a balance, minimizing in-store-only Black Friday deals. While online shopping has its advantages, it's wise to compare prices across sites for the best deals.
Gift backup plan. In a typical year, high-demand items may sell out quickly, and desired products might not see significant price drops. Prepare a backup plan for gifts on your list to avoid disappointment.
