AFTER THANKSGIVING SALE

In the US, the biggest sale in most stores happen on 2 important dates: the day after Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas. These are the times when it’s best to buy electronic goods. After Thanksgiving would be best to buy Christmas gifts – that is, if you can get that best deal amidst hundreds of competitive shoppers!

I’m going to miss both great sales again this year since I’m out of the country. Last year I wasn’t able to purchase the laptop that I wanted at BestBuy since the line that formed outside the store was already a mile long and it was only 2am while store opens at 6am. I regretted that I didn’t just buy that laptop online even if it’s a little bit more expensive than in-store. This time I’m wiser! Although I don’t have any plans to buy a laptop but I’m looking out for a great deal on CANON Powershot 10.1MP ELPH. I would just have to purchase it online since I can’t count on my dad to go to the store and buy it for me (he doesn’t like shopping). But just to advise you, some products are cheaper to buy in-store than online.

Local newspaper usually has advertisements from different stores regarding their sales. My grandma has 2 subscriptions and me and my aunt always ask her to bring both so we can pore over them. If you’re not subscribed to a local newspaper where store ads are inserted, you can compare and or find out the cheapest or the best deal in products at blackfriday ads website: bfads.net. You need to subscribe to their mailing list to be able to find out those good bargains. Last year my aunt has kindly emailed me a list of the best prices of goods from different stores and I hope she emails me that list again this year.

With the economic recession in the US right now, I wonder if there are still many shoppers who would participate in these sales. I remember my aunts telling me that I shouldn’t waste my time going to Gilroy Outlet stores after thanksgiving because there are a lot of shoppers present I’ll just get frustrated. My cousins also said the same thing when I told them that I plan wait in line at Bestbuy last thanksgiving. They were right – it’s futile to fight my way through that throng of customers. Irregardless if you have something you want to buy, buy it on these dates because it will save you a lot!

Happy shopping!!!
