With Black Friday frenzy at an all-time high this year, it’s important to start your shopping off on the right foot.<\/p>\n

That’s why we’ve come up with 4 tips to get the most out your shopping time this year.<\/p>\n

Check them out below:<\/p>\n

\n

Plan Ahead<\/h3>\n

You need to have a game plan before heading to the shops this weekend.<\/p>\n

Check out our Deals<\/strong> <\/a>page for the exact products you want and head directly for those items first chance you get.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, several stores like Game <\/a><\/strong>allow you to sign-up for deals notifications, meaning you will get email alerts for deal first.<\/p>\n

Start Early<\/h3>\n

If previous years are anything to go by, there will\u00a0 be a line around the block if you arrive at opening time.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say you can’t still get a deal, but to avoid the chaos try to get there as early as possible.<\/p>\n

That means you can either camp out with the rest of us or head online and beat the foot traffic.<\/p>\n

Head Online<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest secrets about Black Friday shopping is that you don’t need to even leave the house.<\/p>\n

Most of the sales have online components meaning you can avoid the chaos but still snag a sweet discounted product.<\/p>\n

We recommend bookmarking deals now so that you can plan ahead.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting what time the online details open (usually 00:01 on Friday morning), and you may want to stay up to grab the best deals.<\/p>\n

Remember Cyber Monday<\/h3>\n

While not as big as Black Friday in South Africa, it’s worth noting that several online stores will also be running Cyber Monday deals.<\/p>\n

This can be a bit of a gamble, but if you’re willing to save your cash for a few days and are comfortable with shopping online you can still score some great deals early next week.<\/p>\n
