The next Friday, 25 November, A new Black Friday will be celebrated. A party that boosts consumption in our cities thanks to studied marketing campaigns. Campaigns that invite us to buy and buy and that can be dangerous if we get carried away. To avoid this, we share today on Bezzia the keys to buying intelligently this Black Friday.
Yes you can shop smart on Black Friday. How? Betting on responsible and thoughtful consumption. Or what is the same, buying what we need and in advantageous conditions for us. Because only in this way will we be able to save.
Buy only what you need
Is there a necessary purchase that you have been putting off to take advantage of one-day discounts like Black Friday? That or those are the purchases you should focus on. Don't go out without a list home and do not buy anything beyond that list or what you save on the one hand, you will lose on the other.
A good strategy is to write down on a list throughout the year what has broken and needs to be replaced, as well as those new products associated with new needs that you must cover. And next to the products add some necessary annotations like the ones we explain in the next point.
Make sure the promotion is real
If you know what you need to buy in advance, you will also know what price that product sells for. Don't buy anything on Black Friday assuming it has a lowest price than usual and that you are saving on your purchase because it is not always like that. Marketing campaigns are often misleading! Remember that they are there to make you buy.
Use the list that we have talked about before to also write down where you can buy each product and at what price. So when the time comes you can verify that it is indeed a good promotion before purchasing it.
Set a budget
In order not to fall into the temptation of offers, set a budget. You know what you want to buy and what price it usually sells for, so you shouldn't have a problem setting one. One that should fit, moreover, current state of your economy
Do you easily fall for offers? If the purchases are going to be physical, leave the house only with cash and without a card. Are you going to do them online? So a good idea could be put a limit to your card so as not to go over the set budget. Ideally, you don't need to do it, but if you think it's necessary, it's a simple resource to use.
Buy on well-known sites
During Black Friday the number of internet scams. Therefore, never buy from unknown sites; resort to products, brands and sites that you already know Make sure that the sites are trustworthy and read the characteristics of the products and the conditions of purchase carefully before buying.
If you have done the previous tracing work of which we spoke before, the process will be much faster. You will know where to go and you will avoid the rush to get a certain product and not run out of it, playing tricks on you.
Do not buy in installments
Are you in a delicate economic situation? procure do not buy in installments no matter how tempting the idea may be, except for those products that are essential such as household appliances. And if you do, make sure that the debt ends no later than the next six months. Buying in installments is a double-edged sword that can put you in more debt than you are.
