\u201cSavvy shoppers can really get a lot out of Black Friday in South Africa, particularly if they are prepared and they know how to recognise and identify the best deals.”<\/p>\n
A number of online retailers are joining in on the Black Friday festivities this year, going toe-to-toe with their retail counterparts.<\/p>\n
There are however risks that are unique to doing your Black Friday shopping online, said Tucker.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough shoppers can definitely expect some amazing deals on the day, sometimes they really are too good to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is worth sticking with the names and brands you already know, and investigating every deal before jumping in.\u201d<\/p>\n
It’s also a good idea to have an idea of the usual retail prices are for certain products of interest, so that you can recognise\u00a0good deals and overstated discounts.<\/p>\n
A careful inspection of model numbers and product descriptions will allow you to avoid inferior products.<\/p>\n
