If you haven’t already got the date diarised, Black Friday in 2024 falls on Friday, 29 November.
For frugal and coin savvy individuals, its the best time of the year to get your hands on the best deals.
Below, three do’s ands don’ts to help you get the best shopping experience.
PLAN YOUR SHOP IN ADVANCE
It is important to plan your shop so that you do not get overwhelmed by the different items on sale.
Collect store pamphlets from different stores to be able to find the best price for the items you intend on buying.
Some stores, may also have online only deals.
HAVE A BUDGET
Around this time of the year, bonuses may have been paid out (or shortly will) or you may have access to savings or even both giving you a little more to splurge on.
However, cashing on may deals can also break the bank.
So if you know what you’d like to buy set that money aside, or if you’re yet unsure, create a budget of how much in total you are willing to spend.
TAKE A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND
Having someone else with you on your shop, will help rein you in and stop you from spending on items you did not plan for.
A shopping partner can help give tips and a second opinion on items that may be on sale but the quality may be inferior.
