Having experienced my fair share of Black Fridays while working at NetVoucherCodes, I’ve picked up some great insights! As a shopping expert here at NVC, I’m excited to share my top tips to help you prepare, save money, and grab those must-have items!

1. Start early
   

   Black Friday has expanded beyond a single day into a week-long event with daily deals leading up to the big day! However, it’s important not to rush and fall for early sales without comparing future discounts. Get organised, do your research, and take your time to ensure you’re grabbing the best deals

2. Use Voucher Code Websites
   Finding the best Black Friday deals can be overwhelming. Use voucher sites to separate genuine discounts from deals with long terms and conditions. Voucher sites display offers from multiple retailers, allowing you to easily compare and find the best bargains without endlessly searching individual websites.
3. Download Shopping Apps
   If you want to maximise your chances of grabbing exclusive deals, we suggest shopping using store apps. These apps often feature price comparisons, live deal feeds, and even app-only discounts. By saving your favourite products in wishlists before Black Friday, you can easily complete your purchase when the deals go live with just a few clicks.
4. Compare Online and In-Store Prices
   Ensure you're getting the best possible price by comparing both online and in-store deals. For high-value items, taking time to research will result in bigger savings. This research can also prevent that dreaded feeling of finding a better price after you've already made your purchase.
5. Write a Shopping List
   After you’ve done your research, compile a list of products you want to buy, including the retailers and discounts. Sticking to this list will help you avoid getting swept up in the sales frenzy and buying things you don’t need!
6. Check Social Media Channels
   Follow your favourite retailers on social media for instant updates on exclusive deals and stock levels. Supermarkets and larger stores often use social media to inform customers about store traffic and remaining stock, so stay connected to stay ahead.
7. Keep an Eye on Your Inbox
   Retailers often send newsletters and promotional emails with exclusive discounts during Black Friday week. Take time each morning to browse through your emails, saving the ones with potential offers and deleting the rest. This will help you keep track of new deals and adjust your list as the week progresses.
8. Track Prices in Advance
   Sometimes, deals aren't as good as they seem. Retailers may increase the original price before discounting it to make the sale look better. To avoid this, track the prices of items you’re interested in weeks before Black Friday. Use price tracking tools to see a product’s price history and avoid fake discounts.
9. Only Buy What You Need
   Always ask yourself if you really need the product before purchasing. It’s easy to get caught up in multi-buy deals that push you to buy things you don’t need. Resist the temptation to buy for the sake of it and stick to your shopping list.
10. Avoid Impulse Buying
    Impulse buys can lead to overspending and regret. Instead, focus on securing the major items you planned for, rather than getting sidetracked by smaller, unnecessary purchases.
11. Skip In-Store Shopping
    Avoid the chaos of in-store shopping by sticking to online deals. Most in-store discounts can be found online, where you can also use additional discount codes. Shopping online saves time, effort, and stress, with better access to deals!


However, if you do opt to brave the stores, we recommend you plan ahead. Many brands allow you to check if a particular product is in stock at your local store. This is especially helpful if you’re searching for fashion items in a particular size, and can also help avoid making an unnecessary trip during a busy shopping period. And another heads up - ensure you’re prepared to pay for parking. You may likely need to use a car park to secure a spot, so be prepared beforehand to avoid any unexpected costs.
12. Don’t Rely on Black Friday for Christmas Gifts
    While Black Friday is great for deals, it’s not always the best time to secure must-have Christmas items. Many popular products sell out quickly, and some big-ticket items may not be significantly discounted. If you find a must-have gift before Black Friday, it’s often safer to buy it early.
13. Use a Credit Card or PayPal for Purchases
    Protect your purchases by using a credit card or secure payment services like PayPal. Avoid using a debit card, as credit cards offer more protection. Payment apps like PayPal or Apple Pay also speed up the checkout process, helping you grab hot-ticket items before they sell out.
