It's November and every last Friday of this month we look forward to marked down prices ahead of Christmas. Shops and stores all around the country offer extremely attractive price discounts to clear out the old stocks and welcome new stock ahead of Christmas. I am looking forward to some great discounts on juicers. What about you?
Black Friday has grown and evolved into a huge shopping day event by itself. People all over the country look forward to this day for great deals to stock up on stuff they can use for gifting on Christmas or even for themselves. Shopping on Black Friday has become the biggest shopping tradition in this country.
The huge crowds that wait in long lines much ahead of shop opening, the crush of shoppers rushing to pick out items of their choice and all the frenzy that marks Black Friday. We feel the rush of excitement even before the day.
Will Black Friday even be possible? given the pandemic?
- How can stores even allow the throng of shoppers or manage them?
- Will they even be Black Friday happening this year?
You are not wrong in assuming that it is impossible to allow Black Friday shopping safely this year. Which brings us to the next question.
With the ongoing pandemic situation is Black Friday cancelled?
No, in spite of the year being so crazy, the pandemic showing signs of slowing down, Black Friday has not been cancelled. In fact it got bigger as many retailers have moved online and extending the number of days for Black Friday to ensure that everyone gets a chance to shop on America's biggest shopping day while maintaining social distancing.
Take Walmarts, they are having three separate days of deals. They have Extended Discount Days Shopping. Even though Black Friday is on 26th November this year, retailers especially Amazon has already started marking down prices weeks ahead in promotions called Holiday Dash.
Ever since the end of Amazon Prime Days one of the biggest shopping days on Amazon. These deals are centered around giftable items with discounts on different products every day. A whole range of products are on sale at greatly discounted prices.
So, if you want to stock up on some goodies for yourself or for gifting your loved ones for Christmas now is the time to start buying them. Of course there will be Black Friday deals too. But, if you like to plan ahead and make your purchases early the Holiday Dash deals are a great way to save money while making purchases from the safety of your home.
Should We Wait Till Black Friday For Steeper Discounts?
While Black Friday offers great discounts it may not always be possible for you to get hold of the items as few of them are in stock and sold out within minutes of store openings. Then there is the real danger of you mistakenly getting a different model than what you want or a dress or shoe of different size than yours.
It is always happening due to the huge rush and crush on Black Friday. The steep discounts are so attractive that we barely register other important factors like size/color/model and end up buying unwanted stuff. The longer sale windows on offer this year can help you plan and buy products that you really want to for yourself or as gifts. Use the days Holiday Dash and other discount days ahead of Black Friday or research and buy products with great discounts. The discounts may not be the steepest but they are good discounts ranging from 10-50% and you can do with the savings before Christmas. I have decided to research ahead and pick the juicer models I wish to buy this year. I am planning to gift one to my mother. When the price drops are announced with the click of a button I should be done with my Black Friday shopping.
