Is Black Friday even still a thing? In a sense, yes. But it is constantly changing. Where we used to have a day or two of unbeatable sales that had us lining up in the cold, we now have weeks of sales to shop. That can get pretty overwhelming.

Some of our deal-hunting experts have been covering Black Friday deals for over a decade. Pair that with the knowledge that comes from analyzing deals every day and our team knows a thing or two about a good Black Friday deal versus one that is all hype.

We’ve got just 100 days left until Black Friday and we expect sales to start as early as September. Here are our tips for getting the best out of Black Friday this year.

Consider Alternatives

Being flexible is the best way to score deals during the holiday season. Rather than having a specific product from a specific brand in mind, be open to deals on alternative brands. We’ve put together lists of alternatives to some of your favorite items to help you save money and still snag some quality deals.

Check out our top picks for affordable alternatives to these popular brands:

Supply Chain Catastrophe…Stronger ‘Black Friday’ Deals for You!

Make a List and Check It Twice

Make a list of must-haves for gifts and holiday purchases. These are the items you’ll want to buy as soon as you see a sale. Discounts and price drops are a little more unpredictable this year, so jump on any must-have list items as soon as you can.

Add a few other might-want items to your list and keep an eye on the pricing for those. You may end up holding out to see if a deeper discount appears. But if you don’t get a lower price, or miss out due to a sell-out, you won’t be heartbroken.
