Many consider the official start of holiday shopping to be Black Friday, Nov. 29.
Considering consumers spent an average of $313 over the five-day period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday last year, we want to give you plenty of time to plan your Black Friday approach.
While Black Friday is a great time to score deals, it’s important to be discerning and do research to ensure you’re getting as great of a deal as you think. Before buying, read any fine print and compare deal prices to non-holiday prices so you’re sure the original price hasn’t been inflated to make the sale look more appealing.
Double-check the terms and conditions of the deals, too. Certain deals are only available during specific times and dates, and you’d hate to wait in a two-hour cashier line only to find out your items aren’t priced the way you thought.
Though Black Friday shopping might require some work on your part, make sure to have fun. It’s the kick-off to the holiday season and a wonderful time of year, after all.
