It’s almost November 26, 2021, aka Black Friday! During this day, shops offer many great deals. That’s quite a few offers though. In this article full of tips, we tell you how you can find the most interesting Black Friday deals in tech.
Black Friday is originally an American phenomenon, but has now also become quite established here. With good reason, because on that day, shops offer high discounts and the Dutch love bargains! Certainly when it comes to electronic devices, because they quickly become expensive. A new smartphone, television or laptop is quite an investment, so it’s nice if you can save a few tens or even hundreds of euros on it.
Precisely because so many stores and webshops participate in Black Friday, you may wonder: how do I find the best Black Friday offers? It would be a shame if you buy a product with a discount, only to find it in another webshop for an even lower price. We have listed some tips for you here, so that you never pay too much.
Prepare for Black Friday
Just like you make a shopping list before you go to the supermarket, it’s smart to ask yourself what you want to buy on Black Friday. For example, if you’re ready for a new laptop, take a look around online stores to see what’s for sale. Reviews can help you get a good idea of the product.
Or search Google for ‘best smartphones of 2021’ to get an idea of what is on the market. If you have a clear idea of what exactly you want to buy, it is only a matter of finding the best price on Black Friday.
Start shopping early
Although Black Friday itself starts on November 26 this year, we now know that many stores are already putting their offers online before. In fact, the bargain rain often starts in the run-up to it, and it continues until November 29. Then it is Cyber Monday, also a day that is dominated by high discounts, especially on electronics.
Because stocks are limited and products with high discounts sell out quickly, we recommend that you keep a close eye on your favorite online stores in the days before Black Friday. Rooster being the first pays off.
Use a price comparator
Searching the web for the best Black Friday deals yourself is not really a thing to do. There are simply too many shops for that. Handy if a site can help to compare the prices of different online stores. For this you can contact our colleagues from Kieskeurig.nl. Search for the product you want to buy, and you will immediately see which webshop offers the lowest price!
It is useful to set a price alert. Suppose you have a 4K TV in mind for which you actually do not want to pay more than 1000 euros. You then enter this amount as a price alert and you will receive an email as soon as the television drops below that price. To do this, press the icon of a bell.
Follow our live blog
In the period around Black Friday and of course on the day itself, we keep a Black Friday live blog. We then bring the most interesting price reductions to your attention. Last year we discovered huge discounts on popular headphones, external drives, monitors, speakers, tablets and many more gadgets.
If we find a good deal on a device that we think might appeal to you, we’ll tell you about it on the live blog. Tip: bookmark the page and keep an eye out for updates regularly during the Black Friday weekend.
Smart search on Google
We already mentioned it, but Google is of course also a handy tool on Black Friday. If you already know which product you want, you can search for the product name + words such as ‘black friday’, ‘deal’, ‘offer’, ‘discount’ and ‘cheap’.
You will also find the websites that participate in Black Friday, but do not immediately pull out your wallet at the first online store. Just because it’s highest on Google doesn’t mean it’s also the biggest price drop. Always compare what the product costs elsewhere!
Watch your budget
Finally, it is wise to determine your Black Friday budget and not go (too much) over it. When the offers are flying around your head, it’s tempting to hit with every deal. But when added together, it can still become an expensive joke while you want to save money on Black Friday.
Do not spend more than is responsible, so that you really benefit from those great discounts.
