Brown Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday – the pre-Christmas shopping extravaganza seems to be growing. With the retail market-driven shopping craze quickly approaching, let’s take a look at when the best deals are taking place, and some resources to help you get the best bang for your buck!
Electronics are always a hot topic this time of year; but is it cheaper to buy them on Black Friday or Cyber Monday – in-store or online?
The deals will be similar from Friday to Monday. The earlier, the better is the main rule to live by because they’re sure to sell out fast!
Top Deals
- Target is offering an iPad Mini Wi-Fi 16GB for $299. The purchase also comes with a $75 Target Giftcard.
- Staples is offering a Kindle Fire 7″ HD 16GB for $79 on Black Friday.
- Walmart is offering a 32″ 720P HDTV for $98 at many locations around the country.
Another great piece of advice is to check the prices a few days in advance. Sometimes the deals aren’t worth the trouble…and sometimes they’re not even deals at all (just misleading marketing campaigns).
Depending on your cell phone carrier and needs, Black Friday is a great time to pick up a new phone and contract. Keep an eye out for a deal that’s right for you and your family.
