Black Friday deals are here, and while we don’t expect the best deals to arrive before Black Friday on November 28th, it’s a good time to shop around and prepare for some of the biggest deals.

Make a wish list

There are many deals to discover this Black Friday. One way to avoid getting lost in the flood of discounts is to create a wish list of products you want to buy when the price drops.

Of course, I recommend checking out NewForTech’s articles rounding up the best Black Friday deals (see below), as well as articles on categories like laptops and TVs. But these can also be compared to your list to ensure you get the deal you want and don’t get distracted or overspend.

Set a budget

Speaking of spending, setting a budget is a smart move when looking for Black Friday deals. It can be tempting to buy that deep fryer or sound bar you suddenly saw on sale. But if it’s not on your list and you don’t have the budget, it might be worth a shot.

Feel free to contact the experts at TechRadar if you need advice on what to buy and what not to buy, or are waiting for the next sales event.

Sign up for Amazon Prime

An Amazon Prime membership offers many benefits, including fast delivery, but also the opportunity to take advantage of additional discounts on products sold through Amazon. I’d say it’s a Black Friday must-have, especially if you want to quickly get your hands on some tech items, like a pair of our best wireless headphones, or if you want to do some quick holiday shopping.

The interesting tip here is this: Sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime before Black Friday to take advantage of the benefits. And if you don’t think the service is right for you, you can cancel before the trial period ends and not have to pay the full cost of the monthly or annual subscription.

Sign up for Walmart Plus

Speaking of subscriptions and one for US readers, I would recommend signing up for Walmart Plus. Like Amazon Prime, it offers tons of benefits, free shipping and access to Paramount+, as well as access to exclusive deals from the retailer.

Plus, for a limited time, get 50% off Walmart Plus memberships, bringing the annual cost down to $49; This is a solid deal in its own right, and business editor Mackenzie Frasier fully endorses it.

Subscribe to NewForTech’s Deals newsletter

This year, TechRadar will publish a deals-focused newsletter, highlighting some of the best deals we’ve seen, including those that lead to big impulse buys.

And while there really won’t be any offers on our site, this newsletter will provide you with an interesting and curated selection of offers that we highly recommend. So take a look at this.

Beware of scams

Unfortunately, fraudsters can take advantage of Black Friday deals to scam people out of money. I recommend using NewForTech’s guides and summaries to ensure you’re getting a deal from a reputable source.

But I would also recommend being very careful about what you buy and where it comes from. Be careful when clicking links in emails and on social media from less-than-trustworthy sources, and remember that you’re probably safer buying from big box retailers than from specialty online retailers.

Find price comparisons

Tools such as CamelCamelCamel It can help you get a clear idea of ​​a product’s previous price and whether the discounted price is really a good deal. The TechRadar Deals team and I often use CamelCamelCamel and will highlight in our articles when a product has reached its lowest price.

It pays to be smart about this, as companies like Amazon have a habit of showing an item’s original MSRP and then the discounted price, which can make a deal seem more attractive than it actually is because the products in question may have already been sold at a discounted price.
