Black Friday checklist: get real deals
- Make a shortlist now: write down the three to five items you actually want and the highest price you will pay.
- Track prices: use a price-history tool so you can tell a real discount from an inflated "was" price.
- Compare model numbers: some products are made just for sales events and may have lower specs.
- Check returns and warranty: read the holiday return window before you buy electronics.
- Beware of scams: only shop on official retailer websites and be careful with links in texts and emails.
- Set a budget: a limit protects you from impulse buys.
