Tips for Shopping Amazon Black Friday Deals
With October Prime Day just around the corner and Black Friday deals on their way shortly after, it’s a good time to start planning your shopping. Here are a few Black Friday tips that you should keep in mind:
- Set a Budget – Keeping track of how much money you can actually spend is important to avoid overspending. When everything is on sale, it can be easy to buy more than you really should just because things are at their lowest price of the year.
- Create a Shopping List – Knowing exactly what you’re trying to find discounts on is a great way to avoid making unnecessary purchases. It can also make it easier for you to compare prices between retailers or set price drop alerts ahead of time.
- Compare Prices – Although Amazon tends to automatically price match on most things, it’s still good to compare prices to other retailers before you buy. You can also use the website CamelCamelCamel to compare prices against Amazon’s historical pricing.
- Find Unbiased Reviews – Amazon reviews have gotten somewhat better in recent years, but you should still do research outside of the site before making a decision. Seek out unbiased reviews on expensive purchases before you buy.
- Be Wary of Sponsored Products – Search results in Amazon include sponsored sales that may not be what you’re looking for. Look for the little ‘sponsored’ tag before you click and scroll past those.
- Make Sure to Clip Coupons – One of the easiest ways to save money on Amazon that many folks seem to miss is the clipping of coupons. There are a ton of coupons available for Prime Members, and all you need to do is check a box on the product page for additional savings.
