3 Ways to Get the Most out of Black Friday Deals

Black Friday deals are coming up! Here are a few of the best tips we can give you to get the most out of that special day.

Tip #1: Buy those Big Ticket Items You’ve Been Wanting

You know how that couch in the living room just doesn’t feel as comfortable as it used to? Maybe it has a few tears or the cushion isn’t the right shape anymore?

Or maybe you’ve had your bed for 14 years – way past the 8 years recommended by mattress manufacturers.

Perhaps your computer is starting to run really slow. That’s not surprising since you’ve had it for 6 years and it’s been loaded up with all kinds of random stuff over time.

Everyone’s situation is different, but we all have at least one big-ticket item that we want. Now is the time to get it! What we recommend is using the money you’ve been saving to buy a higher-quality one than you’d normally be able to get for the same amount of money.

For example, let’s say you have $1,000 saved up for a new mattress. Instead of buying a mattress that’s usually $1,000 and just $700 on Black Friday, spring for the one that got discounted from $1,500 down to $1,000. The higher quality item will probably be better all around.

Tip #2: Stock Up on Holiday Foods and Snacks

One of the best things about the holidays is the FOOD – Green bean casserole, turkey with brown gravy and mashed potatoes, and hot apple cider, hot chocolate, or eggnog.

Use the deals that come on Black Friday to stock up on some things you know you’ll be enjoying over the next few months such as:

  • Non-perishable food
  • Paper towels
  • Toilet paper
  • Wrapping paper
  • Plastic wrap

Does saving 50% on holiday snacks excite you as much as saving 50% on a big screen TV or new couch? No, probably not. But you’ll still be able to save a good bit of money, which is more money to spend on things for your loved ones (and maybe get yourself a little something, too).

Tip #3: Do Your Holiday Shopping on Black Friday

This is the best day of the year to get your holiday shopping done. We say that for three main reasons:

  • It lets you go ahead and get it done and out of the way. You don’t want to be stressed on December 23rd because you still have a bunch of gifts to get.
  • You get the chance to save a bunch of money. You’re already buying stuff for your loved ones, right? You may as well spend less money than is necessary.
  • If you’re shopping in stores, doing it all on Black Friday means you only have to go out one time. The fewer times you have to go out and potentially expose yourself to coronavirus, the better.

Take advantage of Black Friday – it’s the single best day to save money every year! Well – in most industries. We pride ourselves on having great prices on insurance every day – just send us an email at  info@partnersdirectins.com and we’ll prove it!
