Are you ready for one of the most awaited sales of the year?
Aside from Thanksgiving Dinner with the family, people also look out for Black Friday, a grand sale that happens on the Friday after the festivities. This year, Thanksgiving will fall on November 25, a Thursday which means Black Friday will happen the day after, November 26.
Most people would think that they just need to prepare their wallets for the day. Well sure, it’s that easy. Withdraw cash from the ATM. Load your debit card with funds. Make sure you haven’t reached your credit card limit. Then, you can just go swiping, adding to the cart, and checking out on the 26th.
But past years have shown how crazy Black Friday or other holiday sales are. You have to consider that you’re not the only one looking to score some deals on Black Friday. There will be other consumers who may even be more aggressive than you---and there are a lot of them. This means the item that you want may already be sold out even before you add it to your shopping cart. You may not get the color that you wanted. You may miss out on flash deals. There may be no more size left for your frame. You may miss the opportunity to win a raffle.
There are so many opportunity costs with poor planning. Black Friday only happens once a year so if you want to make the most out of it, you should plan carefully and prepare even before the date comes. Below are some quick tips to make sure you get the best of what Black Friday can offer.
1. Choose the items you’ll buy before the date.
In recent years, retailers have announced items on sale for Black Friday as early as the first week of November. By this time, you can already pre-save or let the items sit on your cart so that they’ll be ready for checkout on Black Friday. If this is not the case, you may also bookmark the link of the item so that it’ll be easy to go back to.
When you choose your items beforehand, you also know how much you’ll be spending which will help you budget your money in the weeks leading to the grand sale date.
Our tip is to invest in items you have always wanted but never seem to have the budget for. Black Friday means you may get the same item, the same quality, design, and function, at a lower price point. These include furniture, gadgets, kitchenware, accessories, and more.
On the other hand, you may also stock up on items that you use regularly such as skincare and beauty products.
2. Schedule your time of purchase or checkout.
As we’ve said, the demand is high every Black Friday so you must be ahead of the game in order to get the supply that you want. In online shopping, people alarm their phones at exactly 12 in the morning so that they’d be the first ones to checkout. For brick-and-mortar stores, people line up even before sunrise so that they’d be among the first ones in when the store opens the next day. It’s a circus out there so schedule the time you’ll buy in order to get the most out of Black Friday.
3. Have a backup shopping list in case your original plan does not push through.
Just in case an emergency happens and you weren’t able to buy on time or when the stock was still available, have a backup shopping list. In this way, you’d still be able to get the items that you want at a discount; it would just be a different brand. If you really want a specific brand, then probably you could ask a friend of yours, a fellow shopping buddy, or a relative to buy for you when you’re not available to.
