Black Friday

CUT_PRICE DEALS ARE HERE

- Benjamin Kerry & Gavin Lenaghan

Black Friday can be an incredibly exciting time, as typically expensive products of a huge variety are given hefty price cuts that, for many of us, finally bring them into the realm of affordability. Unfortunately, however, plenty of other people besides you will be keeping an eye on those bargains - and this is why, to get the discounted goodies you most want, you should act not only quickly but also cleverly. What a relief, then, that great retail apps can help you do that.

Black Friday routinely refers to November’s fourth Thursday - the day after Thanksgiving Day. However, Black Friday has long ceased to be merely a day and has since grown into what could be more accurately described as an entire season of bargains. For that reason, while November 24 - on which Black Friday falls this year - will have passed by the time you read this article, keep in mind that it is the following weekend that is often dubbed the “Black Friday weekend”.

That Black Friday sales are limited to a single day is one of the common Black Friday myths highlighted by DealNews. However, you shouldn’t relax too much about your chances of cost-effectively landing that dream gadget or other item you especially want. As some products might sell out worryingly quickly, you could benefit from using apps to speedily access information about new deals as they emerge. The process of actually buying an item can also be quicker through an app.
