Top Tips for Shopping In-Store This Black Friday
If you plan to shop locally at a store this Black Friday, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are the top tips to make sure you get the absolute best deals during the Black Friday mania.
- Make a shopping list before you go so you don’t get pulled in by doorbusters or other discounted items you don’t need.
- Take someone else with you. If you’re shopping with someone else, you can shop at the same time to cut down on the amount of time you’re shopping and get multiple products if a specific deal is marketed with a limit of one per customer.
- Go earlier for the best deals. You definitely don’t have to wait outside for hours to get the best deals, but savvy shoppers may make an early-morning trip to their local mall to get some of the best products before they’re gone.
- If you’re planning a Black Friday shopping experience at a superstore such as Walmart or Target, consider mapping out a shopping path. Black Friday is likely to be more chaotic, making a traditional “walk around and browse” shopping process less effective.
- Never do anything that would place you in danger. The deals are sure to be great, but your health and safety should always come first!
FAQs
- Are these hours sure to be honored for every store?
If you’re thinking about visiting a local store in person, it’s best to call in advance to see what that store’s Black Friday hours are. The hours listed here should be accurate, but many individual stores have the ability to set their own hours a bit earlier or later depending on the hours their competitors advertise. Double-checking is always a great idea.
- Will these companies have online Black Friday deals as well?
Most companies that have in-store Black Friday sales also have some online Black Friday deals, but online deals tend to be a little less impressive. Online Black Friday deals may start at the same time as in-person deals — generally between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. — or they may start at midnight on Thanksgiving. If you’d rather spend extra time with your family and friends and you don’t especially enjoy shopping, then you may want to look at online Black Friday deals at your favorite stores. Plus, those deals often last over the weekend and into Cyber Monday.
- What if I have questions about a company not on this list?
Rakuten has a substantial number of discounts and deals available for all kinds of retailers, including apparel, tech, general superstores, sportswear, and more. If you’re interested in seeing the Black Friday hours for a company not on this list, call your local store and ask them directly. You can then use Rakuten’s list of discounts and deals to plan your shopping experience. It’s a great way to save even more during Black Friday shopping experiences at any store.
