How (and when) to shop on Black Friday

Making your Black Friday selection can be difficult for a number of reasons. One of the biggest is timing. Remember that more things are on sale at this time, so you can choose from more products than usual. However, the best deals aren’t always on the official Black Friday date of November 29th. Some things will go on sale early, which is why we start our coverage similarly early, and may actually debut with their best price. If too many people are willing to buy something early that is a signal to retailers that they gave something a discount that was just too good and the price may go up. As a result, we recommend buying the best deals when you see them, not waiting for later.

If you do wait, there’s also the possibility that you’ll panic and hit buy without thinking things over at the last minute. But you really don’t have to do that either, as Black Friday deals extend into Cyber Monday deals and then fade into “seasonal savings.”

The bottom line is that you should go for good deals when they come, neither waiting nor jumping the gun too early. Borrowing a phrase from Wall Street, “you can never time the market.” To help you out, we’ll be regularly updating this page throughout the season with deals of the moment that are relevant to you.

How we chose these Black Friday deals

There are a lot of product writers here that are going to have eyes on this page. That means we have a lot of collective experience with store pages, comparing prices, and looking at what The Manual readers actually like. Plus, we have experience working with other sites, meaning we have expansive knowledge of what retailers are out there and are consistently reliable. When we put it all together, we can get something that represents your needs, wants, and wishes.

At heart, we’re The Manual readers, too. For example, I (John), handled one of our newsletters for a period of several months that ended just recently. As a result, I got to see the parts of the site that aren’t my usual go-to sections (you won’t catch me in a luxury vehicle, for instance) as well as their popularity. In a fun way, it has broadened my perspective of the demographic and what you will like.

Finally, as stated above, these deals will be updated as the Black Friday season evolves with current and trending offers. Be sure to bookmark the page for all of the latest.
