FAQs
Should you shop Black Friday early?
Black Friday deals started dropping as early as November 1st this year (yes, you read that right). So, with that in mind, it's smart to wonder if you should hold out until the big day or shop Black Friday early. It can feel like a real lose-lose. If you buy now, you could miss out on the huge savings on the day itself, but if you wait too long, the gadget you've had your eye on all year could quickly sell out.
Leo Smigel, personal finance expert and founder of Analyzing Alpha says, 'while the conventional wisdom suggests waiting for the main event might secure the best bargains, this isn't necessarily true in today's retail climate. Black Friday, once a frantic day of retail madness, has morphed into a more protracted and accessible event'.
Not only is there little risk with buying early, you can even find some better deals. Last year we recommended a deal on one of the best vacuums for pet hair. The vacuum was a remarkably good deal; the price plummeted from $309.99 to $99, however, the price then jumped back up to $172, so it didn't pay off to wait.
Our advice ultimately boils down to a simple rule of thumb. If the product you're looking for is a necessity and you see a good early discount, we would recommend purchasing, but if the product is more of a 'nice-to-have', hold out until Black Friday and try your luck.

When is the best time to shop home deals?
There's always a home deal somewhere, that's the beauty of having so many sites and so many experts (like us) at your fingertips. While Black Friday tends to see the biggest discounts, it's not the only time to grab a discount. Major retailers are almost always selling off old stock at a discount, and every major federal holiday has its own sales event. The big events, such as Black Friday, holiday sales, Memorial Day, July 4th, Presidents' Day and Prime Day will have some of the best sales, but there's plenty to go around in between.
It's also worth remembering that good discounts will roll around on seasonal items in off-peak times. For example, if you want the latest grill or some chic outdoor furniture, you're best buying them during fall, when all the prices drop post-summer.
