The Black Friday offers can be so attractive that it is easy for you to end your credit before Christmas shopping or you run out of money to pay your electricity bills or your cell phone service .
Although retailers offer some of the best prices of the year, especially on electronics products, sneakers, designer handbags and clothing, not all the products they offer have discounted prices .
These are some things you should avoid buying during Black Friday and look for offers in other seasons of the year:
Furniture
The supply of furniture is in its lowest point during the months of January and July to August , while the best discounts on outdoor furniture are given between August and September .
Forget about the latest generation consoles
The best deals on a next-generation console or on a gaming PC, such as the Nintendo Switch Lite or a PS5 , occur the last week before Christmas as a last minute boost.
There is a prominent British poet of yore who wrote that “patience is a virtue.”
Airplane ticket
Buying a plane ticket well in advance will not always ensure you the best price. And this applies during travel reservations for next spring on Black Friday.
Wait until after January to book your plane tickets for your next vacation. The optimal time to reserve a ticket for that time of year is up to six to eight weeks.
Toys
The best deals on toys are usually found about two weeks before Christmas, with discounts from 20% to the 25%.
However, if you are on the lookout for the most attractive toys of the season, shopping experts recommend purchasing them as soon as possible , especially this year in which there is a shortage of apparently everything and they could be sold out.
Gift cards
There is nothing wrong with giving a gift card during the end of the year party, but it is advisable to wait to buy it in the weeks after Black Friday .
For example, iTunes has offered gift cards of $ 100 dollars for between $ 25 and $ 80 dollars and retailers like Costco and Sam’s Club also sell them for less than face value.
