Black Friday is just around the corner, and many shopping deals are already live. Here are some things to keep in mind so your Black Friday shopping doesn’t leave you in the red.
But remember: Just because something is being promoted doesn’t mean 1) it’s a good discount 2) you need it.
How to Get the Best Deals
Shop Around
Chances are if one retailer is offering a discount on a product, others might be as well. Here are some places to look for deals.
Layer on the Deals
Look for more ways to save, for example through credit cards offer rewards like cash back, or at specific retailers. Also check if a store has a loyalty program that offers extra savings.
Fight the Impulse
Great prices aren’t the only reasons to buy something. Keep in mind what you need, and what your budget allows so you don’t end up with a huge credit card statement.
Wait
This isn’t the last sale you’ll ever encounter. If you’re not sure on some spending, consider postponing until the next deals show up.
