Black Friday shopping has become a tradition like Thanksgiving dinner. This year Black Friday is not too far away and many big stores started advertising online about their offers. Many families really plan to get the best out of the Black Friday sale. They spend almost a month to gather all deals data and try to appoint members to go each different location or website to shop and get the best deals.

I used to do that as well, standing in lines early in the morning at almost 50 degrees to buy a laptop or small gadget or bike for my son to save few bucks. I don’t do that anymore but I do go check out things on the Black Friday to really see whether they are really super deals like they say.

So I want to ask, are BLACK FRIDAY DEALS really great deals as they advertise and say or it’s just hyped up sale to get more people to come to shop and sell them things which they really don’t need. Many times people buy things just because it’s cheap and they don’t even have plan to buy or use them. I have many friends who buy things in Black Friday sitting in shelves without opening box for months.

Another thing, I have seen that deals on Black Friday are the materials which are either going to be retired or about to be retired as they plan to come with new version for next year especially laptops and electronic gadgets. Also, I have seen the pricing for these deals are lower 2 weeks before Black Friday but they increase and reduce during the Black Friday time.

My suggestion, if you really want something and looking for good price/deal, track the pricing for the last 6 months and make the decision on the purchase during Black Friday accordingly. Don’t just make impulse decision on the deals and buy things which you really didn’t plan to buy.

Have Happy Holidays and Shopping!!!
