20. The Biggest Mistakes Shoppers Make Every Year
Based on years of observing trends, Jason Chen lists the most common Black Friday mistakes:
Mistake #1: Buying because something is cheap
This leads to clutter, regret, and wasted money.
Mistake #2: Not checking the model number
Many products have tiny differences that drastically change performance.
Mistake #3: Waiting too long
High-demand items sell out by Black Friday morning.
Mistake #4: Not using price trackers
This allows fake deals to slip through.
Mistake #5: Buying new tech released just weeks earlier
New launches rarely get meaningful discounts.
Mistake #6: Falling for bundles
Extra accessories rarely add value.
Mistake #7: Ignoring shipping deadlines
Holiday packages arrive late if ordered after December 15.
By recognizing these patterns, shoppers can make more confident and informed buying choices.
