What to Buy on Black Friday

Who doesn’t love a good sale? Well, nothing beats the deals you can get on Black Friday. Many stores have already put out their advertisements for the Black Friday sales they will be running. Even better, some stores have even already marked products at their Black Friday prices. I’m sharing with you what to buy on Black Friday.

If you’re in the market for new electronics, you should absolutely take advantage of the deals Black Friday will be offering. The deals cover a range of electronics, such as televisions, computers, phones and more.

Aside from televisions, phones, laptops and tablets you can expect great deals on various other electronics, as well. Other electronics with great Black Friday deals include Google Home, Amazon Echo, video game consoles, Chromecast and much, much more!

Appliances

While electronics offer some of the best Black Friday deals, appliances are also something you should seek to purchase if needed. Some ideas of appliances that you can find on sale include slow cookers, blenders, Keurigs, toasters, KitchenAid stand mixers, vacuums and more.

Some great places to shop for home appliances on Black Friday include Target, Amazon, Best Buy and Macy’s. Keep your eyes peeled for significant price drops in items you’ve been wanting or needing to buy!

Travel

If you’re one of those lucky people who have enough flexibility to vacation during any time in the year, then you should check out travel deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Generally, you will find that travel-related deals will be for the “need periods,” otherwise known as off-peak times. For example, you are likely to find great deals at hotels, resorts, theme parks, etc. before or after holidays when kids are still in school. Additionally, some hotels may offer great sales for the off-season when the weather is not ideal.

Clothing

Most clothing stores won’t announce Black Friday deals in advance, BUT I have a tip for you if you shop online. I recommend that you fill your shopping cart with anything you’ve had your eye on, or just do some browsing online and add things to your cart as you find things you like. Keep your cart full of these items or add them to a “Save for Later” list, so that they are easily accessible. Come Black Friday, check the prices of all the items you saved and buy all the ones on major sale. Anything that didn’t go on sale can be saved for later again until the day it does go on sale!
