Black Friday is the Super Bowl of shopping. With the right preparation, you can score incredible deals without the chaos.

Pre-Black Friday Prep

2-3 Weeks Before:


  • Create your wish list

  • Research normal prices (use CamelCamelCamel)

  • Sign up for store emails

  • Download store apps

  • Set up accounts (shipping, payment info)

    • 1 Week Before:


  • Check early deals (many start early)

  • Compare prices across stores

  • Load digital coupons

  • Check cashback rates

    • The Night Before:


  • Charge your devices

  • Clear browser cookies

  • Have backup payment methods ready

  • Set alarms for online doorbusters

    • Best Deals by Category

    Electronics (Best Days: Thursday-Friday)


  • TVs: 40-60% off

  • Laptops: 30-50% off

  • Headphones: 40-50% off

    • Clothing (Best: Throughout weekend)


  • 40-60% off sitewide common

  • Stack with coupons for extra savings

    • Home/Kitchen (Best: Cyber Monday)


  • Instant Pots, air fryers heavily discounted

  • Bedding and linens on sale

    • Toys (Best: Early December)


  • Wait for better deals closer to Christmas

  • Unless sold out risk is high

    • Avoid These Traps

  • "Doorbuster" items with limited quantity

  • Products made specifically for Black Friday (lower quality)

  • Deals that aren't actually deals (inflated "original" prices)

  • Items you don't need just because they're "cheap"

    • Online vs In-Store

    Go online for:

  • Electronics

  • Clothing

  • General merchandise

    • Go in-store for:

  • Limited quantity items

  • Price matching opportunities

  • Items you need to see in person

    • Plan smart, shop early, and don't forget your cashback!
