Another Black Friday is upon us. If you are like most people, you fall into one of 2 categories: boycott it all together or wonder if you have a problem after buying a fold-able beach umbrella for 75% off even though it's not even summer yet!
There is a clear, logical middle ground to this madness but shopping this Black Friday season can make sense.
Ask yourself these four questions before you start shopping:
1) Will I use "this thing" a few times a week?
2) How old is "the thing" that I am replacing?
3) Is "this thing" a big ticket item for the house?
4) How long will I own "this thing" for?
Put a little logic in your “cart” so you can prioritize the things your home needs this Black Friday:
Electronics
Winter time usually equates to more time spent indoors and in front of our TVs.
If you plan to entertain this holiday season or host your very own solo Christmas movie marathon, then you should do it in style. Impress your friends during the Superbowl by upgrading your TV or even purchasing home theater equipment from Best Buy. Here's a nice LG 70" TV that is $300.00 off.
Home Appliances
These big-ticket items are some of the most expensive essentials in your home so you'll want to maximize savings where possible. If your old washing machine or refrigerator is on its last leg, you should take advantage of the many Black Friday deals this year rather than wait until they break down. Be proactive and check out these big discounts at Lowe's this weekend. We personally have our eye on this Samsung French Door Refrigerator- 43% off!
Kitchenware
Chances are, your kitchen can benefit from some form of upgrade. Depending on how much you cook at home, you may need to ditch the scratched and stained cookware set. How's your silverware holding up? Need a new matching dish set for the holidays? Williams Sonoma has TONS of Black Friday deals to create that kitchen envy you've always wanted. For health enthusiasts, now's the time to break the bank for that Vitamix you've had your eye on (they're rarely ever discounted). The good news is these things last forever!
Living Room Furniture
Living room door-buster sales are very common on Black Friday. The couch is a central lounge spot for family, friends, and even our fur babies so chances are you've run out of cushions to flip at this point. Even if your couch is still halfway decent, you'll most likely find attractively priced options if you're looking to size up and make more room. Wayfair is offering up to 70% off on their living room door-buster sale. Keep in mind, some (to a lot of) assembly might be required!
Smart Home
If you haven't ventured into the smart home market yet, here's your chance to get the rarely discounted Apple HomePod or the Amazon Echo device.
