Are Black Friday Deals Better?

Almost every business that sells to consumers will take part in Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales. There will usually be an event, advertisements for savings, and big changes to the website to account for the deals. But are the advertised deals actually deals?

Businesses will create big stickers and signs that show off how much they’ve discounted items for the Black Friday event. But third parties often find that these deals ultimately aren’t much better than the normal prices of the products. Sometimes, businesses list the “normal” price as much higher than the actual normal price, so it looks like they’re giving a huge discount. So how can you check if deals are actually deals?

Price Tracking Tools

Search “price tracker” and you’ll find websites like CamelCamelCamel that track the prices of Amazon items sold and plot the prices over a graph. These price tracker sites store the data of all transactions over a 1-year period so you can tell when prices peak and drop. Simply search the product you’re looking for in the search bar to get the relevant data.

Other Price Tracker Tools:

If an item is “discounted” on Black Friday, you can verify whether this deal is actually a significant discount. Most of these tools work for only big stores like Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart. If a local store has a Black Friday sale, you’ll have to do your own research to determine whether the deal is worth it. Remember: Just because something is listed as a sale doesn’t mean it’s a huge deal.

Stores with Good Black Friday Deals?

The best Black Friday deals usually come from larger stores like Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Staples, JCPenny, Lowe’s, DICK’S Sporting Goods, and other big-box stores. The best Black Friday deals are in person, sometimes very early in the morning or late on Thanksgiving night. Sometimes Black Friday deals are limited-time, or limited quantity to create a sense of urgency.

Larger businesses and corporations will almost always have a Black Friday sale. If you need a specific product, or like to shop at a big store, it’s worth checking to see what Black Friday sales are advertised!

Where are Cyber Monday Deals?

Cyber Monday deals are found online, which is where the “cyber” comes from. Some common online stores like Amazon, Newegg, eBay, Dell, and Best Buy are known for their great Cyber Monday deals.

The deals will launch similarly to Black Friday sales, with the main difference being that they’re all found online. Cyber Monday sales are sometimes limited in stock, such as 500 heavily discounted TVs available at a specific time. The nice part about Cyber Monday deals is that you don’t have to go anywhere to get the deals. While you won’t be able to get the product right away, this can be more convenient to avoid the big Black Friday shopping crowds.
