Below, we’ve listed the stores that have amazing deals for all youlr shopping and gift shopping needs but before you look at our long shopping list, here are TOP 3 TIPS TO GETTING THE BEST DEALS AT BLACK FRIDAY AND CYBER MONDAY:
- DO YOU RESEARCH – Whether you are shopping in-store or online, make sure you research the items you want to buy and check different sites to compare prices.
- DO THE MATH – The 64GB memory card may seem like a good deal but if you do the math, the 32GB and the 16GB are far better deals if you calculate the sale price per unit.
- BE PATIENT – Do not give in to the pressure of just buying something because it’s Black Friday! You may get a better deal during Cyber Monday or if you’re in Canada, we still have Boxing Day coming up too!
