Black Friday sounds ominous, like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie… But it doesn’t have to be.
You can get great deals and discounts from a variety of retailers and brands whether you’re sitting at your computer or racing around a shopping mall.
We are here to help you maximize your experience with a few simple tips that will make ALL the difference.
Plan Plan Plan!
You must first decide what you want to buy, or you risk becoming distracted like a child in a candy store. A number of South African retailers have made their deals available, so start comparing and making a wish list.
Prioritise!
You’re unlikely to get everything on your wish list, so prioritize what you absolutely need and arrange your list in order of importance. Electronics such as TVs and kitchen appliances are usually the most popular (and best deals).
Prepare Beforehand!
There are a few things you can do in the week leading up to Black Friday to help you out. Make a trip to the store to ensure you know where to look for your products. There will almost certainly be a large crowd on the day, and you may become disoriented in the aisles. If you’re shopping online, make sure you find a location with a strong internet connection.
Think Presents!
While Black Friday is a great time to treat yourself, it can also be a great time to save money. Make sure to account for Christmas gifts that you won’t need to buy later in the month. You can kill two birds with one stone.
Partner Up!
Normally, you will not have all of your must-have items in one location. To increase your chances of success, team up with a reliable sidekick. Whether that means visiting various stores or websites.
