9. How to Create a Smart Black Friday Shopping Strategy
Jason Chen recommends an organized approach instead of impulsive clicking.
Step 1: Make a Shopping List
This prevents overspending and reminds you what you actually need.
Step 2: Set a Realistic Budget
Holiday seasons are notorious for financial stress. A budget stops you from falling into emotional buying traps.
Step 3: Track Prices Before Black Friday
Knowing the regular price helps you understand whether a deal is genuinely good.
Step 4: Shop in Waves
Different categories peak at different times.
Step 5: Prioritize High-Demand Items
They sell out fast — especially:
- Laptops
- Smartwatches
- Video game accessories
- Kitchen appliances
Step 6: Use Price History Tools
This is the single most important step according to Jason.
Step 7: Screenshot Your Receipt
Helps with price matching and warranty claims.
This strategy ensures you never buy in panic — only with intention.
