17 Nov 5 Tips to Make the Most of Black Friday
Learn how to score smarter deals and avoid the most common traps.
Black Friday has become one of the most anticipated times of the year for saving money. But while everyone knows about the discounts, very few people truly understand how to optimize their purchases. As a result, many shoppers miss out on the best deals or end up paying more than they should.
Here are 5 little-known, highly effective tips to help you make the most of Black Friday — and how allsales.ca can help you spot real deals without wasting time.
Create your wishlist… two weeks in advance
Most people start looking for deals on the day of the event, but experienced shoppers plan 10 to 14 days ahead.
👉 Why?
Because you’ll have a clear picture of the regular prices of your items. This makes it easy to determine if the Black Friday discount is a real deal… or a misleading promo.
Practical tip:
Prepare a precise list (model, brand, size, color). It avoids impulse shopping and ensures you grab the best deals the moment they drop.
Why use allsales.ca to find real deals?
With so many Black Friday promotions designed to create urgency rather than real savings, allsales.ca stands out as an essential tool for smart shoppers.
The platform centralizes the best Canadian deals and tracks price variations to help you distinguish genuine bargains from deceptive discounts.
Thanks to its personalized alert system, you’re notified the moment a product reaches its lowest price. Its comparison features also make it easy to evaluate different retailers instantly, helping you save money without spending hours searching.
Whether you’re shopping for appliances, fashion, sports gear, or holiday gifts, allsales.ca becomes your strategic ally for getting the most out of Black Friday.
Focus on categories with real deep discounts
Here’s a lesser-known insight: not all categories offer the same level of savings.
Typically, the best Black Friday deals are found in:
- electronics (headphones, TVs, smartwatches),
- small appliances,
- winter fashion,
- mattresses and furniture,
- toys ahead of the holiday season.
Compare deals… properly
Comparing prices has never been more important, as price differences between retailers can be significant. But be careful: many websites still display inflated “discount prices.”
View the best offers at a glance, check price history and identify the most reliable retailers.
It’s simple, quick, and helps you avoid common marketing traps.
Maximize your savings without the stress
Black Friday can be overwhelming if you jump in without a plan. But by using these little-known strategies — and especially by relying on tools like allsales.ca to compare, track, and verify prices — you can fully capitalize on the best offers.
The goal isn’t just to buy cheaper…
👉 It’s to buy smarter, intentionally and strategically.
