There’s no better time to shop than on Black Friday. This year, the day lands on November 27. Major retailers will be slashing prices on technology, fashion, beauty, home, and tons of other products. It’s always one of the busiest shopping days of the year, but this time most shopping will be done online. This means you can take advantage of big discounts without having to go to the mall. You can find out which stores will be participating in Black Friday by searching online.

There are some things to keep in mind before shopping on Black Friday. Search online to learn more about the deals that’ll be available on November 27.

Here’s how to prepare for Black Friday deals this year.

Check Out Last Year’s Deals

One of the best ways to prepare yourself for this year’s sale is by seeing what promotions were offered last year. Retailers won’t release sales ahead of time, so looking at last year’s deals will give you an idea of the savings to expect for Black Friday in 2020.

Tips for Black Friday Shopping

Black Friday is a popular event, which means you will be shopping the same items with thousands of people. There is limited inventory available and it’s possible for hot products to sell out before you get a chance to add it to your shopping cart.

To prevent missing out on your desired items, here are five tips to try out for Black Friday shopping.

1. Sign Up for Emails

Every store has its own newsletter that can inform you of the latest promotions and offers. Sign up for your favorite store’s newsletter ahead of Black Friday. This will inform you what’s on sale and potentially give you access to exclusive deals.

2. Make a Wish List

Instead of scrambling on Black Friday wondering what you should buy, make a list beforehand. This will allow you to quickly search and check out with the items you want before they sell out. Make sure to know which websites will be selling your chosen products as well.

3. Shop Ahead of Black Friday

Some stores will be offering deals leading up to Black Friday. Sometimes, you might even find the same or lower prices the Wednesday before Black Friday. This might be a better alternative for in-store shoppers who want to avoid the crowds on November 27 but still score a deal. Alternatively, check out if your favorite stores extend the sales event after Black Friday.

4. Shop Early

While people will start lining up outside of stores long before it opens, there will be a virtual lineup of people ready to shop online deals once the clock strikes midnight. Find out if items will be on sale right away on November 27 to make sure you’re not sleeping while stores are selling out.

5. Know the Return Policy

Before shopping, make sure you’re aware of the return policy. Each store will have different rules and deadlines when it comes to returns or exchanges. Make it easier for yourself by knowing which items qualify as returnable, if online purchases can be returned in-store, and which items will be final sale.

What to Expect in 2020

This year, Black Friday is bound to be a busy one for online retailers. Major stores like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and others will be competing against one another as more people are expected to be shopping from home.

Some products from last year you’ll likely find on sale this year include toys (ex. Nintendo Switch), Dyson products, beauty, and power tools. You should also expect previous-year tech models to be higher discounted compared to newer models that were released this year. Search online to find more insight on Black Friday sales.
