Black Friday is almost here, which means that hordes of bargain-loving shoppers will be descending upon stores across the country, all hoping to secure an amazing bargain without receiving an injury in the process! If you’re looking to get the most out of this year’s deals, check out these Black Friday shopping tips.

1. See whether shops will match prices.

Competitive retailers will happily match prices on their Black Friday promotions, ensuring you get the best possible deal from their store. On the other hand, some stores may refund the difference if you complain about a drop in the price after you bought a product from them. Not all retailers will offer these deals, so find out who will and hold them accountable!

2. Do your research beforehand.

There is a wide range of web tools which can be used to check how much a product sells for at various locations and various times of the year. Before you walk into a store and check the Black Friday “deals”, look at how much the item you want is priced at other shops first. Some stores advertise “deals” yet price their “deals” as they normally would, or at least very close.

3. Don’t disregard lesser known brands.

Watching out for lesser known brands is one of the best Black Friday shopping tips we can give you! You may be able to score a good deal on less famous electronics brands that don’t scrimp of quality—they’ll make for great gifts for your loved ones, too. Check out all your options, compare product specs, and shop away!

4. Avoid brick and mortar shops!

We’re living in the digital age now. Why would you want to fight the crowds and wiggle through all the other shoppers, when you can stay home and shop online instead? After all, many of the best Black Friday deals are found in online stores like the Nixplay shop, where you can get up to 25 percent off the Nixplay Seed range!

Besides, the holidays should be a time for relaxing and enjoying yourself, not stressing out and exhaustedly jogging around a mall with 15 heavy shopping bags in tow. Shopping online means that you can compare deals much more quickly and easily, and you’re less likely to end up with an injury! Stay at home and go online instead!

Everyone loves a good Black Friday sale. That’s why we’re giving you some tips so you can get the best deals of the season. Flex your shopping muscles and read on!

1. Know what you’re going to buy.

It’s easy to fall into the panic buying trap when everything’s on sale. Avoid this by making a shopping list of the things you’d like to purchase. If you’re shopping online, fill up your shopping carts and wishlists a few days before Black Friday. This way, you’ll just have to hit “Checkout!”

2. Set your alarms.

Some online stores hold major flash sales that only last for a few hours. Score big in these sales by setting your alarm a few minutes before the promo begins so you won’t miss it!

3. Start shopping early.

Look out for stores that start their Black Friday sales before the actual day. Case in point: Nixplay’s FlashBlack Friday Sale, which starts on November 16! Get up to 25% off all Nixplay Seed Frames, only until November 25!

4. Browse around.

Don’t limit yourself to just one or two stores. Trawl the web to see if the item you’re eyeing is also available at other websites at a cheaper price, and buy it there.

5. Know the online store’s shipping and return policies.

Don’t forget to read the fine print! Some stores, like the Nixplay online shop, offer free shipping for a minimum purchase, letting you save a few precious dollars. You should also check if it’s possible to return an item you purchased during Black Friday as some retailers don’t allow refunds or exchanges for products on sale.
