Maximise Savings with These Black Friday Shopping Tips

Black Friday has become a hot-ticket event in Australia, offering shoppers a prime opportunity to snap up massive discounts and score incredible savings. To help you make the most of this shopping bonanza, we’ve put together a guide to ensure you’re prepped and ready to bag the best deals at Stan Cash.

1. Set a Budget

Stay Focused and In Control
Before you dive into the sales, set a spending limit. Having a clear budget will keep impulse buys at bay and ensure you zero in on what you really want. Visit the Stan Cash Black Friday Deals page to help you gauge the latest promotions and better plan your purchases.

Prioritise Your List
Make a list of must-haves and rank them by importance. This helps you stay laser-focused on your priorities when the sale starts.

2. Do Your Research

Check Prices Ahead of Time
Use price-tracking tools to monitor price trends in the lead-up to Black Friday. This way, you’ll know if a discount is truly a deal or just a flashy sticker price.

Read Reviews First
Get the scoop on quality and performance by checking out reviews and ratings for items on your list. Doing your homework means you’ll make well-informed choices and avoid “too-good-to-be-true” deals.

3. Make a Game Plan

Spot the Top Retailers
Make a list of trusted retailers (both online and in-store) offering the best discounts on the items you want. Be sure to check out the Stan Cash Current Specials and sign up for our newsletters so you’re the first to know about exclusive offers.

Plot Your In-Store Route
For those planning to shop in-store, map out your route to hit priority stores efficiently. Knowing where to go will help you make the most of your time and avoid wasted trips.

4. Use Technology to Your Advantage

Install Apps for Exclusive Deals
Many retailers offer exclusive Black Friday discounts via their apps. Download the Stan Cash app for notifications on flash sales and updates on the best deals.

Price Comparison Websites
Leverage price comparison tools to ensure you’re getting the best price. Many tools even provide a price history, so you can decide if it’s the right time to buy.

5. Shop Smart

Start Early
Deals won’t last forever! Be ready to shop as soon as sales go live to secure the items you want before they sell out.

Stick to Your List
With so many tempting offers, it’s easy to get sidetracked. Stick to your list to avoid overspending and make sure you nab the essentials.

6. Take Advantage of Online Shopping

Avoid Crowds and Shop from Home
Online shopping offers convenience and sometimes even a wider selection than in-store. Avoid the chaos and shop from the comfort of your couch!

Look for Free Shipping
Many retailers, including Stan Cash, offer free shipping on eligible orders. Keep an eye out for this added bonus to stretch your budget even further. Check the Stan Cash Delivery Information page for details on eligibility and delivery options to ensure you’re making the most of your online shopping experience.

7. Know the Return Policies

Read the Fine Print
Make sure to familiarise yourself with each retailer’s return policy. Knowing if an item is a final sale or if there’s an extended return window can save you future headaches.

Save Those Receipts
Always hold onto your receipts in case you need to make a return or exchange. This will make the process smoother if you change your mind.

8. Stay Safe Online

Shop Securely
When shopping online, make sure the website is secure (look for “https://”) before entering any personal information.

Choose a Trusted Payment Method
Opt for secure payment options like credit cards or buy-now, pay-later services for added protection. At Stan Cash, we offer a range of convenient payment options, including Afterpay, Humm, and Zip Pay. For more details on what payment methods are available, visit the Stan Cash Accepted Payment Options page.
