6. Categories That Are NOT Worth Buying on Black Friday
It’s just as crucial to know what you shouldn’t buy as it is to know what you should.
Jason Chen’s Black Friday “Avoid List”:
A. Furniture
Better discounts occur during:
- January clearance
- July/Aug summer sales
Black Friday deals here are mostly surface-level.
B. Newly Released Phones
Apple, Samsung, Google flagship phones rarely drop significantly in November.
C. Winter Clothing
Retailers discount these AFTER winter — not before it.
D. Luxury Beauty Items
Holiday gift sets are often marked up.
E. Gaming Consoles
Bundles rarely offer true savings — often they include low-demand games.
Chen’s message:
Black Friday doesn’t automatically guarantee that every item is discounted.
