Have you heard it’s Black Friday? You have? Really? Why am I not surprised! Every email, tweet, TV advert and conversation this whole week has revolved around bargains, codes, discounts and sales. It’s almost made me feel quite anxious and talk about the whole ‘missing out’ syndrome that is feeling seriously strong right now! With SO many options, from SO many places it’s hard to know when, where or how to start. If it helps, Voucher Codes have created an eBook to help you get the most out of Black Friday AND Cyber Monday. (Lets not forget this doesn’t just last a day anymore!) I’ve had a read through and it’s helped me feel a little calmer.
These are a few of the key things I’ll be looking out for over the weekend and if they are reduced I’ll be snapping them up. Being 8 months pregnant I could have done with this Black Friday being a little later but I guess next years I’ll be sitting at the laptop with a list as long as my arm!
After reading the ebook, these are my key things to remember;
Keep It Online
I’ll be doing my bargain hunting online this year, as I generally do all the time to be honest. I find it easier and I can check lots of deals in a short space of time. Plus, trying to get through those sale crowds makes me want to hibernate and hide in a Starbucks somewhere until it’s all over. Plus, you’re likely to get lots more deals online throughout the day. It makes total sense.
40% Off
You know the offers that aren’t really offers but you fell like it’s an offer because it’s offer season! Yes… it’s as confusing as that. Some places increase their prices before the sales, making a 10% discount seem AMAZING! But really, to get a real bargain, aim for at least 40% off. Unless you REALLY want it… then grab it while you can.
Check Postage
There’s no point saving yourself a few pennies and then you find out postage is a small fortune or it’s going to take 28 days to arrive. Slow down and check the things you would normally check. Does next day really mean next day or are they going to charge you the sun and moon for the privilege. Always worth a check.
Don’t forget your discount codes.
Lots of codes are still valid on sales and Black Friday weekend so keep an eye out and grab even more of a bargain!
Good luck and may the shopping force be with you!
