Over the years I have noticed Amazon deals are cheaper through the year than black Friday, we always buy ours on prime day, it was excellent for us this year

Always check around to see if the price is a genuine offer. Just like Latestdeals itself most offers are fake deals and can be found cheaper. If it is a lot cheaper and you want it then buy it as quickly as possible. The genuine reductions often go out of stock quickly. A lot of tech on Amazon mainly sold by marketplace sellers has fake descriptions with misleading information to make you think the product is better than it is so be careful about the descriptions. A so called 8GB tablet is only 2GB with 6GB of virtual memory. That is still a 2GB tablet and was never a 8GB tablet but Amazon sellers seem to think it is fair to sell it as 8GB. If I have a 4GB laptop and set the virtual memory to 8GB it doesn't mean its a 12GB laptop. I suspect we will see big reductions on Amazon for terrible tablets and action cameras which don't have the specification they claim. If you do buy such a product and realise its a fake spec when you get it make sure you send it back saying the specification is fake as the reason.

I guess the other thing to do on Black Friday is get up early. I've looked at Black Friday deals at 10am only to see an offer I would have really liked was listed at something like 9am and sold out at 9.15am.

Find the cheapest deal possible 😂. Honestly though if I see something I will still always check other sites to make sure it’s not cheaper elsewhere

xKJG93 and always think do I actually need it or do I actually want it or is it just because it’s ‘black Friday’
