Houston Bookkeeping Tip: 5 Must Read Items Before Buying a Thing on 2017 Black Friday or Thanksgiving

The busiest shopping days are upon us. As experts providing bookkeeping services, we know all about when it is best to save and best to spend. With 2017 Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and even Cyber Monday upon us, it is imperative you read the following before spending a dime.

1. Know Which Day to Buy

With three options and so much on your shopping list, how will you ever know when to buy first thing after turkey, the first thing as you get through the door, or in your pajamas Cyber Monday morning? This article has a great analysis on what were the best days to buy what last year (Thanksgiving) and more. It also displays which of many items are best to buy Thursday (iPhones, cameras, electronics), Black Friday (Android devices, iPads and tablets, toys), and what to buy Cyber Monday (laptops, travel, kitchen).

2. All the Ads!

Few of us get the newspaper any more, meaning we don’t get weekly ads for our favorite stores. Bing has you covered by showing all the 2017 Black Friday ads (they don’t necessarily apply to just Black Friday.) Mainstays include Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. However, you may sort by the latest ads or choose your favorite stores from A to Z.

3. Best. Deals. Ever.

Skip all of this annoying research and go straight to the 2017 Black Friday best deals by clicking here. Remember the $200 tv that so plagued the industry and those in line? Best Buy is looking to outdo them all with a $179 50-inch Sharp TV with 4K. Loads more deals can be found on this must-read.

4. For Your Favorite Stores: One Day Only Coupons

Know which stores you want to shop? Stop here to see what kind of coupons all sorts of stores are offering. The Top 3 include 50% off at Express, Gap, & 45% off at Timbaland. You can search by store, as well as see the latest coupon offerings.

5. Avoid the Worst 2017 Black Friday Deals

Just because it is Black Friday, et al, does not mean everything is a bargain. Every now and then vendors try to push items without marking down a penny. BF Ads has such a list here. These include items such as video games/ consoles that adults may not be savvy to. Other offenders are tablets, stand mixers, TV’s, etc. sold by certain well-known stores.
