Black Friday has become the tech lover’s Super Bowl – an annual event where we go hunting for bargains in every other store. But to be honest: how often is a “deal” really a deal? Despite new rules around pricing that are supposed to protect consumers, prices are still cheated and it is still a minefield to find the golden nuggets in deal heaven. But once again, SweClocker’s community gets to shine with its expertise to help consumers in the country.
Keeping track of the purchase history of a product has really become necessary during this year’s shopping event. A quick look at the price history of some TVs shows a juicy price hike before the sale for stores to slap on that fancy 50% stamp. Taking a few minutes to check a price history can be the difference between celebrating a real steal and standing there with a heavy dose of buyer’s remorse.
When a deal isn’t a deal
It’s easy to rationalize a purchase in the moment. “Maybe I need another screen. Surely an extra headset would be nice? And that smart toaster – who doesn’t want perfect toast every time?” It IS still a pretty good price for a Ninja air fryer, and 100 bucks for a 20-pack of kazoos is damn hard to beat.
Check purchase history and use SweClocker’s community to find real bargains
Here at SweClockers, we often see discussions that arrive at the same conclusion: the best way to win on Black Friday is not to play the game. It’s easy for it all to become a bit of a shopping spree, but making a list in advance of things you actually need and sticking to it is advice that bears repeating. Then there is also the Black Friday portal on SweClockers, which gives you an incredible amount of tips on products that may be interesting, and once again we get to see the incredible strength of the member-curated flow for any gadget purchases.
Fortunately, the majority of Black Friday shopping takes place online rather than in stores.
Ultimately, there’s no hiding from Black Friday. It is truly bizarre how the sale has developed from a single day to a whole month and the situation will not improve in the future, which will only make SweClocker’s deal portal even more important in the future. What we have here is a common interest in computers, computer components, peripherals and technology in general and it is so incredibly worthwhile with the tips shared. It is rarely rubbish that is tipped about and if there is something that needs to be sorted out, it happens in the discussion thread. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
How do you do?
Black Friday looks different for all of us. Some take the chance to get the Christmas presents done, others wait all year to spring for that expensive upgrade. And then there are those who say no thanks to the whole sale and hold tight to the money.
Remember: a good deal isn’t just about what’s on the price tag. It’s about the value to you. Check purchase history, avoid buying just for the sake of buying, and use SweClocker’s community to find real bargains. That way, you can navigate Black Friday without getting caught up in the shopping spree – and actually walk away with something you really need.
