Remember when Black Friday was fun? You’d wake up at 4 a.m., head to the Walmart in Rockbridge County, and because it was Lexington, Virginia, your only competition for big ticket items were a few dozen housewives. Yep, there weren’t enough people in Rockbridge County to cause a tramplin’, let alone to sell out of fancy bed sheets or video games.
Of course, most of the country doesn’t live in an idyllic countryside paradise (nor do I, anymore). And with retailers bumping up Black Friday earlier and earlier (seriously, some of them have already started, while others are opening their doors at 7p.m. on Thanksgiving – it’s disgusting), you may be worried about scoring deals without ruining the holiday.
We hear you. Whether you’re splurging for family, or trying to upgrade the firm’s hardware, here are some tips for bargain hunting, saving the holiday, and wasting a ton of money.
The big caveat: you have to click the “Add to Cart” button immediately to get an item. The hottest deals are usually claimed within milliseconds. If you blink and miss it, you may get lucky on the waitlist, however.
Another tip: when in doubt, add it to your cart. You get fifteen minutes to second-guess the purchase and/or check out.
