Hi There,
I cannot believe its November already, I will probably be saying that until Christmas! I am always intrigued by the deals that Happen in The USA, so it will be great to see how the SA brands take part this year.
Black Friday falls on 23 November this year and is the biggest shopping day of the year in many countries around the world.
I am going to include some tips in this post as I believe that people can get carried away – myself included, so here are just a few things to remember:
- Set a budget — It can be very easy to get carried away if you don’t set a spending limit for yourself. Even if something is heavily discounted it could still be outside your budget. Work out what you can afford to spend and stick to it.
- Do your research — Do your research beforehand if you have a particular purchase in mind; be prepared to shop around to get the best price. Have a figure in mind you are willing to spend, and check online for comparison prices.
- Consider how you’re paying — It can be a good idea to pay for items with your credit card because it can provide you with an extra layer of protection if things go wrong – but you should aim to pay it off any balance in full when payment is due. Don’t put yourself into debt.
- Know your rights — The Consumer Rights Act says goods should be of satisfactory quality, fit to do the job intended, and last a reasonable length of time. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you buy your product.
- Look long-term — In the run up to Christmas, many supermarkets put together deals where you are offered vouchers or bonuses for the festive season every time you shop, which you can then put towards Christmas shopping later down the line. You might well be offered loyalty bonuses on top of regular points too if you start saving early enough.
- Set up online accounts ahead of the big day- Get ready by signing up for online accounts with all the shops you might want to shop at. If you’re serious about bagging a bargain this Black Friday, store your details so you can get online fast without wasting precious time.
- Get stalking on social media – Make sure you’re following all the brands you might want to shop at come Black Friday on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to hear about offers or further discounts.
- Shop around – This may sound obvious, but it’s easy to get excited about a discount and fail to check if it’s cheaper elsewhere. Also don’t get soo wrapped up in the discounts that you shop on sites that are not secure, be careful of the Scumbags – Scammers!
