It’s November and that means Black Friday is coming. Are you ready?!
To ensure you get the best deals, we’ve got a selection of top tips to optimise your Black Friday shopping.
Black Friday 2024
This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 29th November 2024.
That said, we already have a selection of deals on – with more to be added throughout the month! Here is that all-important link straight to our Black Friday offers. But be sure to open it in a new tab, we still have our top tips to share!
Our Black Friday Top Tips
As we have deals running throughout November, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the right offers for you. Wouldn’t you just hate it if you bought something one day, and then a better deal on a similar product appeared the next day? Our Black Friday tips are all about being prepared but ready to add that spicy deal to your basket!
Identify What Upgrades You Need
First of all, with so many hot offers and price drops, it’s too easy to go in and want it all. Having an idea of what you actively need and/or want is going to help you zero in on the best deals for you. And still leave a little budget for a few whim purchases. (Let’s face it, it has to be done sometimes!)
So, take some time to study your set-up. Are your peripherals all in working order? Does your RAM have enough capacity to keep up with your favourite games? Are your motherboard and CPU up to the task of supporting future innovations? Does your graphics card lack to oomph you need to enjoy your faves in ultra-high settings?
Let the answers to these questions and more inform what you should be picking up this Black Friday!
Shop Around
With all those “Save XX%” stickers on our products, it’s oh-so tempting to find the biggest percentage drop and pop that in your basket without a second thought. But is it the right product for your set-up?
As with any big purchase for your set-up, you should shop around. Compare and contrast the different brands, performance tiers, and so on. The only difference with Black Friday shopping is taking into account the offers and deals available. There’s no point getting all heart eyes over a 50% reduction on an Intel CPU if you use an AMD motherboard…
Be Flexible
Now, if you follow the previous tip to shop around, this one will come easy as you will have already compiled a suitable alternatives list. Being flexible is important with sales because there are no guarantees that the exact piece of hardware you want will go on offer. If it is something which other brands offer at similar performance tiers, then that could be a solid alternative.
Of course, we do hope the stars align and your dream tech goes on offer.
