The much Anticipated once in a year Black Friday price slash bonanza is here again and in few minutes our online shopping stores like Konga.Com and Jumia.com will be flooded by shoppers ready to buy their dream appliance or toy for a much lesser price, but for you not to waste your time or be disappointed at the end of the day there are some pro tactics that you can employ to hit your black jackpot and they are

1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
Don't forget this step,

Make a shopping list, then do your due diligence so you know which store has your wish-list items at the best price. Check stores' websites, sign up for their newsletters, and browse their social media accounts. If you're going bricks-and-mortar shopping, map out your route, noting what time stores open and close.

 

2. KNOW YOUR BUDGET

It's worth saying again: Just because something is on sale, doesn't mean it's a good buy. Everything about Black Friday — the low prices, big ads, bold claims — is designed to entice shoppers to part with their cash.

To avoid spending a fortune needlessly in the name of a bargain, make a list and a budget and stick to it. The worst thing you can do is show up to malls unprepared. "It's important to establish your needs versus wants list," said shopping expert Kristina Matisic. "Browsing is not good for budgeting."

An extra tip for the weak-willed: "If you really want to stick to a budget, bring cash. And debit cards don't count."

 

3. GET A GOOD INTERNET SERVICE

THIS has always been the problem for most people,  so you have to get the best network cause during the rush hour, the sites are vulnerable to shutting down due to too much people trying to get a deal at the same time

 

4. CLICK AWAY

Shopping online is a breeze: No crowds, no checkout lines. That's not to say it doesn't ever get insane. Hot items fly off virtual shelves within seconds and there's nothing as heartbreaking as watching an item vanish from your checkout cart because you're not fast enough.

Matisic recommends creating an account beforehand or filling out as much information as you can in the checkout process. You can also leave coveted items in your shopping cart so that when the sale starts, you're ready.

 

5. SHOP SMART

It's easy for shoppers to get swept up in the shopping frenzy, but before you pay, make sure you know the return and exchange policy, especially if you are shopping for gifts and want to give recipients the option of returning or exchanging an item, said Matisic.

Good luck now go get it,  you are a pro shopper if you follow these steps.
