Before you just start throwing $10 toasters in your cart this weekend, here are four MORE things experts say you might not want to buy on Black Friday.
1. Electronics from a brand you’ve never heard of. They tend to be big sellers because they’re the cheapest option, but that’s usually because they’re cheaply made. So they tend to get a lot more negative reviews online.
2. Winter clothes, like coats and sweaters. Most stores drop their prices even further for Cyber Monday. So you’ll get a better deal if you wait. Or you can get the best deal if you wait until January.
3. Christmas decorations. The deals aren’t actually that good right now, because this is when people normally buy them anyway. So if you really want to be thrifty, use your old decorations one more time, and wait until after the holidays to buy new ones.
4. Doorbusters. Again, they’re usually lower-end products. And a lot of the time they’re things you’d never buy if they weren’t on sale. So before you punch an old lady over the last $30 fondue fountain, make sure you actually WANT it.
