Black Friday is just a few days away. Here’s what you need to know about deals and sales.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Black Friday is just four days away with Cyber ​​Monday a few days later. Here’s what to expect when it comes to sales and deals.

With the online world dominating advance sales for the holidays starting in October, are Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday still relevant?

Pro shopper Trae Bodge says both days still matter, but as for camping out at your favorite store, it probably won’t be necessary this year.

“I don’t think camping will be necessary this year simply because we saw so many deals pop up in October that while Black Friday will be very busy, I don’t expect to see that crush of crowds.” Bodge said.

Bodge says there will still be doorbusters, but inventory will be limited, which will help create a kind of frenzy.

BlackFriday.com has circulars for several circulars all in one place, and if something piques your interest and you don’t want to meet a crowd, Bodge says you should try something like Instacart.

“Instacart is where a shopper goes into a store on your behalf,” Bodge said. “They can brave the crowds and get you that special item.”

When it comes to what offerings to expect, Bodge says technology will be the star of the show.

“You’re going to see lots of great deals on electronics like phones and TVs, laptops, things like that, look for very deep discounts,” Bodge said.

As an example, Bodge points to Mint Mobile, which will have a great deal on the Google Pixel 9 phone, which is $500 off.

“That’s the kind of discount I would be looking for in technology,” Bodge said.

In other areas such as kitchen appliances, Bodge says to look for deals in the 40% range. Beauty products will be about 25% off the range, and things like fall clothing and footwear will be on sale.

As for whether to jump on something on Black Friday or wait for Cyber ​​Monday, Bodge says to grab an item if you see a deal.

“If you’re a little bit flexible about what you buy, I would wait until Cyber ​​Monday,” Bodge said.

Bodge says don’t buy anything until you shop online or on your phone to make sure you can’t get it cheaper elsewhere.

You should also ask the dealers about a price guarantee or protection if a price drops after you buy it. Target and BestBuy have, in a way, been leaders in that policy.
