4 Clever tips to shop Black Friday
Black Friday deals are dropping fast – are you ready? With these four tips, you’ll shop like a pro. Remember to check out Bash.com for great deals!
1. Create a budget and wish list
It’s all about planning! To avoid being scatterbrained, start with your budget. After paying your essentials (utilities, fees, etc.), you’ll have a clearer idea of what remains for your Black Friday budget. Then, make a list of what you need, the cost and (if available) the discount on the day. Finally, add items to your wish list on the online sites where you wish to shop.
2. Shop online
Most retailers and local shops have their own online platforms where customers can browse in-store collections and sometimes even more. To avoid queues on Black Friday and the rush to grab the last pair of shoes, check available deals on the website or app. Make sure you are in a location with a secure, strong Wi-Fi connection and that the app you’re using is up to date. Keep your banking app close and your details ready for a quick checkout. Remember to buy only from trusted sites and retailers. Keep your banking details and card information secure at all times.

3. Shop the presales
The early bird catches the best Black Friday deals! While the final Friday in November and Cyber Monday are the main events, brands have also begun offering sales and discounts in the lead-up to them. Subscribe to a brand’s newsletters to stay informed about the latest offers or browse their collection previews, so you’re ahead of the game.
If a brand doesn’t hold a Black Friday sale for the entire month, make sure you keep an eye on the regular price of an item you’re interested in. That way, when the event arrives, you can tell if the discounted price is genuinely a good deal.
4. Stay focused
Don’t give in to impulse buying. Stick to your budget, prioritise your wishlist, and ignore tempting deals. While Black Friday deals are a great way to boost sales and increase your chances of finding a good price on a desirable item, they can also be quite overwhelming. The rush of different prices on appealing but non-essential products can lead to a negative bank balance. Be cautious and shop thoughtfully – you don’t want to start the busy festive season in debt.
