💪🏼 5 Ways To Conquer Black Friday in 2024

✅ Set a Budget: Decide your spending limit and stick to it. Don’t fall for promos that tempt you into buying unnecessary items.

✅ Make a List: Prioritize what you need and avoid flashy distractions. If it’s not for the holidays, similar deals will return after Christmas.

✅ Compare Deals: Check both online and in-store offers, as they often differ due to shipping costs. I'll also be covering all the major deals in my upcoming Black Friday videos.

✅ Know Your Return Policies: Some stores have special restrictions during sales. Watch out for a future newsletter breaking this all down to save you time researching.

✅ Always Price Check!: In order to see if you’re getting the best deal, websites like CamelCamelCamel.com allow you to see the price history of any item listed on Amazon.com
