Black Friday

Black Friday is known as the best time of year to save money on big-ticket items, to cross all those names off your shopping list and splurge for yourself a little (or a lot) too. Typically a day full of special shopping deals and heavy discounts, Black Friday is considered the kickoff to the holiday shopping season.

Stores offer big discounts on electronics, toys, and other gifts, or at least the first opportunity for you to buy whatever the hottest products currently are. Whether it’s gaming consoles, fashion items, or even a car (yes, car dealerships get in on the action too!), whatever your fancy is you’re sure to find it at a fraction of its regular price on Black Friday!

Albeit overwhelming, we at LoveCoupons.co.in have just the thing to make your Black Friday shopping experience a blissful, stress-free one - all the offers from your favourite stores and brands all in one place right here!

Happy Black Friday!

Black Friday kicks off on

• Sign up to the LoveCoupons.co.in newsletter for Black Friday news delivered straight to you!
• As the age-old adage goes, “the early bird catches the worm”. Start planning early - troll the news and the web for lists of retailers offering Black Friday deals. Bookmark those retailer’s websites, download their apps and create wishlists.
• Follow your favourite retailers on their social media. This tip pays off year-round, but it’ll especially come in hand during Black Friday when retailers ramp up promotional activity and offer last-minute deals. You want to make sure you’re first to see all the deals!
• Budget! It’s tempting to shop every offer your eye lands on, but do you really need another pair of jeans? Plan a budget and stick to it as best as you can.
• Price check before you buy - sometimes Black Friday deals aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. To judge how good the deals really are once it’s crunch time, you’ll need to track prices leading up to Black Friday.
• Use online price comparison tools to make sure you’re really getting the lowest price out there. The item you want could be even cheaper elsewhere!
• Sign up to your favourite brand’s mailing list. They’ll send all their offers straight to you! That way you don’t have to go searching.
• Be aware of store policies, for example - many stores don’t accept returns on major sale items.
• If you can, skip in-store shopping and shop online. Many retailers will offer the same, if not more, deals online as well. Shopping in the comfort of your home can be a great way to avoid the notoriously boisterous crowds and the long queues to get into some shops.
• Enjoy it! Black Friday shopping might be overwhelming but it’s also a lot of fun. Get a friend or two to join you and make a thing out of it.

You’re ready to take on Black Friday!

Should you choose to shop Black Friday deals from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping Black Friday deals, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
