Tips to shop like a Black Friday expert
We get it—Black Friday can feel like chaos. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back with some practical tips to keep things calm.
- Sort your wishlist
Take a few minutes to jot down what you actually need. You don’t want to end up buying a foot spa you’ll use once and regret later. (Yes, it’s happened to us too.) - Set a realistic budget
The deals are exciting, but you don’t want to blow your entire pay cheque in one day. Set a spending cap and stick to it, even if that air fryer looks too good to pass up. - Start early
Black Friday isn’t just a one-day event anymore—plenty of retailers kick off their sales early. Sign up for newsletters or follow your favourite brands on social media so you’re first to know about the deals. - Compare prices
Not every deal is a ripper. Use price comparison tools like Google Shopping or ShopBot to make sure you’re getting the best bargain, not just an average discount. - Reliable internet is a must
There’s nothing worse than losing out on a deal because your internet lagged. MATE’s internet plans are fast, reliable, and perfect for high-stakes online shopping days like Black Friday.
Check out MATE’s internet plans. - Stay safe online
Scammers love Black Friday too. Stick to well-known retailers, double-check URLs, and avoid dodgy-looking deals that seem too good to be true. - Shop local
Don’t forget about the legends running small businesses. Black Friday is a great chance to support local shops while grabbing something unique. - Be prepared
Set up accounts with your favourite online stores ahead of time and save your payment and delivery details. This way, you’ll check out faster and won’t miss out on those limited-stock items.
