Black Friday Shopping Guide: Get the Biggest Discounts

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. With a bit of planning you can get the best prices on electronics, fashion, home goods and more.

Plan ahead

Write down what you want to buy and check current prices now, so you can recognise a genuine deal when you see one.

Start early

Many stores now start their Black Friday sales a week or more before the day itself. Early deals are often just as good – and less likely to sell out.

Use coupon codes on top of sales

Some retailers accept codes on sale items, giving you an extra discount. Check each store page on Deals Desire for codes that work during the sale.

Watch out for shipping costs

A great price can be ruined by high delivery fees. Look for free-shipping offers or minimum-spend thresholds.

Check return policies

Holiday return windows are often longer, but always check before buying big-ticket items.
