The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales days are coming soon, which means marketers will be desperately fighting for your wallet. To emerge victorious from this battle and keep the family budget, there are a few steps to follow.
It is necessary
10-20 minutes of free time, a piece of paper or a notebook (you can also use electronic editors or tables), a pen or pencil, Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
Write a shopping list. Gifts for the coming holidays and birthdays, toys, books, cosmetics, clothes and shoes for the whole family, equipment that you planned to purchase in the medium term - write it all down on a piece of paper. So you can appreciate what you really need from this list.
Step 2
If the list is very long, correct it by deleting the unnecessary from it. Then, rank your list by ordering your purchases from the most essential to the least important at the moment. When the list is ready, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 3
In front of each item, write down its current value (not on the day of the sale, but the usual value). You can use the Yandex. Market service, which will allow you to find the average price for almost any product. Knowing the current prices, you will be prepared even if there is an inscription "discounts up to 90%", and the price has not really changed or increased.
Step 4
Go to the website of the store where you plan to make a purchase. In a day or two, add all the items you need to your shopping cart. This will allow you to complete your purchase as quickly as possible while the product is in stock. Now it remains to wait for the day of sales and then proceed to the next steps.
Step 5
Go to the store website through the cashback services website. This will allow you to get back some of the money from your purchase. With these funds, you can then pay for the phone or withdraw them back to the card.
Step 6
On the day of the sale, go to the site where you were going to purchase the product and see if the price in your basket really differs from the one that you wrote out earlier on your leaflet. If so, then you are in luck and you can buy the right thing with a clear conscience at a great price.
Step 7
If you nevertheless made purchases that seemed completely unnecessary to you the next day, remember that you can always return the goods (with the exception of non-refundable goods) within two weeks. Some stores are now ready to take back goods within a month from the date of purchase.
