Tips for shopping Amazon Black Friday deals

Just so you know, this article will be updated throughout the Black Friday sale, so be sure to bookmark it to check back in. Otherwise, you can consider following along @IGNDeals on Twitter or Blue sky for instant updates on the best deals this year.

As Black Friday draws closer, it’s a good time to start planning your shopping in earnest. Here are a few Black Friday tips to consider ahead of the event:

1. Set a budget – Keeping track of how much money you can actually spend is important to avoid overspending. When everything is on sale, it can be easy to buy more than you really should just because things are at their lowest price of the year.
2. Create a shopping list – Knowing exactly what you are trying to find discounts on is a good way to avoid unnecessary purchases. It can also make it easier for you to compare prices between retailers or set price drop alerts in advance.
3. Compare prices – Although Amazon tends to automatically price match most things, it’s still good to compare prices with other retailers before you buy. You can also use the website CamelCamelCamel to compare current prices with Amazon’s historical prices.
4. Find unbiased reviews – Amazon reviews have gotten somewhat better in recent years, but you should still do your research off-site before making a decision. Look for unbiased reviews of expensive purchases before you buy. IGN’s Tech reviews, for example, is a good place to look.
5. Be wary of sponsored products – Amazon search results include sponsored sales, which may not be what you’re looking for. Look for the little ‘sponsored’ tag before you click. You might want to scroll past them.
6. Be sure to clip coupons – One of the easiest ways to save money on Amazon that many people seem to miss is clipping coupons. There are a ton of coupons available for Prime Members and all you have to do is check a box on the product page for additional savings.
