Black Friday falls on 26th November and it promises to be the one of the busiest shopping days of the year. With so many deals, special offers and huge discounts available, how do you make the most of grabbing a bargain? Our Black Friday handy tips will have you shopping like a pro

Plan Ahead

Last year the pandemic forced many Black Friday deals online and it is likely to be the same this year. It would be prudent to do your research towards the end of October as companies like Amazon started their sales at the beginning of November. Many media sites will advise on the best buys, especially on big ticket items.

Cashback Sites

There are many cashback sites out there such as Top Cashback and Quidco that pay you for shopping through them. It is worth seeing what offers they have if you are shopping online as there can be savings and cashback offers not to be missed, to enjoy on top of the Black Friday deals.

Get Alerts

If you’ve got an eye on something specific, make sure you have the latest App and are signed up to the company’s email newsletter. This will alert you to the latest offers, coupons and early bird deals so you don’t miss out. You may be able to get loyalty rewards points too as an added bonus.

In Store

If you are planning to visit a store and shop ‘til you drop, the most sought-after bargains often sell out early. Check out the store opening times, nearby car parking and social distancing measures so that there are no delays to your journey and that you are at the front of the queue.

Compare Prices

is easy to be swept away with the lure of huge discounts but make sure you track and compare prices. Do your homework, know the starting price of the product you want to buy and compare retailers to ensure you get the very best deal. Prices may change daily so keep your eye out.

Don’t Forget Cyber Monday

Although historically Black Friday is the most popular shopping day, don’t forget that there are still some incredible deals to be found on Cyber Monday, especially on computing. Don’t despair if you couldn’t get what you wanted initially as there will be still be many irresistible bargains to be had on Monday.
