So tomorrow, Friday 24th November 2017 is the biggest sale event of the year! It’s Black Friday!! What is Black Friday? Black Friday is an informal name of the day following Thanksgiving in the US, which is regarded as the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Most people prefer to shop online to avoid all the hustle and bustle of crowds, queuing up for hours before the shops open,
people pushing and shoving, and people arguing over discounted gadgets
and appliances etc.
Black Friday is a great opportunity to get some
bargains in time for Christmas and save some money too.So today I
thought I would share with you some of my tips
Make a list, you don’t
want to go straight into all the Black Friday deals without a list of
what you want. When you are making your list think of everything.
Obviously you want to think about yourself, but Christmas is around the
corner so it is the perfect opportunity to buy Christmas presents,
upcoming birthdays, tech stuff for the home, Christmas decorations, new
clothes with all those Christmas parties coming up etc. Next thing you will
want to do is put a budget next to each item, Black Friday is not a
sale event if you’re spending more money than you wanted to.
Follow
all your favourite brands and social media influencers, this is because
they will be working together to promote their Black Friday sales. Make
sure you have signed up to their email lists as you will be notified
straight away when a hot new deal has gone live. Signing up also
means you can join reward clubs, which give you points which you can
spend at a later date.
Prep your shopping basket, go
through all the websites that you want to shop with and get used to the
website. Add the products that you want into your basket, the last thing
you are going to want to do when the sale goes live is to look at the
website and see that everything you wanted is sold out, because you
spent too much time looking at everything you wanted to get.
Earn
cash back, Quidco and Topcashback are best friends!! You can save even
more money as you will receive cash back on all your purchases, up to
20%! You are literally get paid to shop!
Sign up to
Amazon Prime, not only do you get your first 30 days free, which
includes free next day delivery and Prime Video. Prime members get 30
minutes access to Amazon’s lighting deals before they go live to
everyone else. Download the Amazon app as you can set it up to give you a
notification when a deal you are watching has gone live.
Make
sure your details are up to date! the worse thing is after you have
been really quick to add your items in your basket. Is to go to the
check out to find out your postal details are incorrect,your bank card details are out of date etc. By the time you
have updated them your selected items could be gone!!
So those are some of my Black Friday hacks, are you excited for Black Friday? What are you planning on buying?
