The frantic yet fruitful sale-bonanza that is Black Friday has taken South Africa by storm. With Black Friday 2019 offering South Africans the opportunity to land some incredible deals and huge savings, you’ve got to be prepared – and we’ve got some tips to help you get the best bang for your buck!
Wishlists
Of course, you don’t know exactly what will be on sale, but one can have a fairly good idea given what’s popular and desired at the moment. Putting together a wishlist will help you narrow your search and keep you focused on what you want to try and purchase on the day.
Budgeting is important
While it’s great to try and capitalise as much as possible on the Black Friday excitement and sales, having a budget in mind before you even start deal-hunting is crucial. By putting together a budget, it’ll help you set up some parameters for your spending so you don’t get too carried away with crazy offerings.
Think beyond the shiny items
One of the benefits of most retailers getting involved in Black Friday is that just about every category of good is discounted. So, even though gadgets, tech, and fashion are often the highlighted-deals, remember that other categories, like hardware, household items, and toiletries can also be included in the huge sale.
Remember, you don’t have to leave your home
Tackling the crowds at the good ole brick-and-mortar stores may not be everyone’s cup of tea, so keep in mind that all the online retailers (and even those traditionally physical stores who have online portals) host some incredible deals too.
Use online price-comparison resources like PriceCheck
Price-comparison tools are important during Black Friday in order to work out which deals are actually the best. PriceCheck offers great price-comparison offers from retailer to retailer, giving you the best options to calculate which purchase option will be your best bet. In addition, PriceCheck also rounds up the best deals in one easy place, so that you can find them with ease.
