I read an article a few days ago on the importance of saving and putting money away so as not to spend it on Black Friday and the festive shopping season. Although I don't remember the exact recommended percentage we should be saving, I do remember thinking that it was quite a large percentage of one's salary.
I read an article a few days ago on the importance of saving and putting money away so as not to overspend on Black Friday and the festive shopping season. Although I don’t remember the exact recommended percentage we should be saving, I do remember thinking that it was quite a large percentage of one’s salary.
And so, as I agree that splurging on unnecessary items is a waste of our hard-earned money, I do think that taking advantage of the Black Friday deals on items we do need could work in our favour.The answer is yes, for the most part, at least. You are likely to find big discounts on Black Friday as retail stores compete with one another to give consumers the best price and bring in the most profit.
It pays to do the research; do not buy a product or brand that you’re not familiar with just because it’s cheaper than its competitors.The hype around Black Friday and pricing can be misleading and exaggerated, but with a little bit of investigating, you’ll find out if you really are getting a good deal or if the product has had the same price tag for the last six months.You’re more likely to purchase on impulse when shopping in-store; avoid the shops and make online purchases instead.
