Some Tips for Shopping on Black Friday Firstly make up your mind in advance for what you want because it is difficult to cover and avail all stores and early bird specials. So decide beforehand important items that you would definitely need. Prioritize on the biggest discounts you will save more on such deals. For instance, you would save few hundred dollars on an expensive TV than over thousands of dollar on shoes of $20. Both of such deals might be accessible at good rates but might be on different stores, so you might up end getting one only, and also you will save on the TV deal by hundreds of dollars while that of shoes will get you savings of few dollars only. If you can manage to get a group of friends who are going to a different store, give each individual a task of getting items from the shop he/she is going to. Do check the Price Matching Policy of different stores. There are stores that offer price match so rather than standing in lines you can just go in to a store with no or less queue that provides price match. Price Matching is quite a tricky situation. While there may be stores that are kind enough to honor their words, yet others will not be that courteous. You can buy pre-Friday and get the price adjusted on Black Friday later. But again there are few stores that are courteous enough to adjust the rates. For the stores otherwise, try to return the product and buy it again. Yet again few of the stores may just refuse to refund your money or rather offer to sale it again. Don’t just squander, buy what you actually need. Several stores are stern on re-stocking fee policy which ranges from 5-15%. This typically applies to big electronics & gadgets. Park Smartly, find parking at places where there are no sales around and it is a nice small walk to store. This way you will not get stuck in the traffic jams of cars going and coming through same routes. e-Shop- With the technology going superfast, almost all of the Black Friday deals are online as well, so before going out for malls and driving and waiting in queues for hours, try to log online and see if your desired item is there. So Black Friday is here, go out and shop. Just remember these points and well shop smartly. www.researchomatic.com/the-impact-of-black-friday-128475.html
