Looking for deals and offers on Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be fun, especially if you haven\u2019t made a start on your Christmas shopping yet, but are those deals really that great? So many shops will have some sort of offer on, and no doubt your inbox will be packed full of emails promising amazing discounts on products with fantastic reductions, but how do you know you\u2019re actually getting a real deal?<\/p>\n

60% of deals are not a true deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Which?<\/em> 60% of Black Friday reduced prices had actually been available for the same price, or even a lower price at some point during the previous year.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t rush in <\/strong><\/p>\n

So some, but not all of the deals at this time of year are not all they seem. However, there are some discounts to be had if you\u2019re careful. So don\u2019t get carried away with the hype. Just because a store is offering a product with a 50% discount, do your research and find out how much the product is at other retailers. Products do come down in price naturally, last year\u2019s state of the art television is old news now and so nearly all electrical goods like this will be reduced, but that will happen every day, not just on these special sale days!<\/p>\n

Read the details <\/strong><\/p>\n

One sneaky trick you may come across is a price advertised as \u2018was \u00a3100 \u2013 now \u00a340\u2019. On the surface, this looks like a great offer, but read the small print and you may discover that this product was \u00a350 for a year, then suddenly it was advertised at \u00a3100 for just a week, before this \u2018offer\u2019 was advertised. Not quite such a great deal now is it?<\/p>\n

Stick to stores you know and trust <\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be tempting to buy from a new store you\u2019re not familiar with when you see an offer that\u2019s incredibly good, but do be wary of scams as there\u2019s plenty of them at this time of year. Make sure you\u2019re buying from a reputable store. Check out their rating on review sites such as TrustPilot to make sure you\u2019re buying from a genuine retailer.<\/p>\n

Or avoid it altogether! <\/strong><\/p>\n
