Many retailers nowadays are promoting Black Friday sales, according to Jane Boyd Thomas, a marketing professor at Winthrop University in South Carolina.
As Black Friday sales expand into more categories each year, you’ll come across unexpected deals. Here are six unique Black Friday offers.
1. Tires
If your tires need replacement, you can take advantage of Black Friday discounts offered by tire retailers and manufacturers. National retailer Discount Tire plans to introduce Black Friday tire and wheel deals from Nov. 23-29 this year.
Additionally, keep an eye out for deals on batteries, filters, and even promotions at local car washes. Who knew there would be car-related offers on Black Friday?
2. Big-ticket baby gear
Following a baby shower, replacing baby gear can be expensive. Black Friday could be a great time to find discounts on essential items that may need replacement.
Expect significant discounts on items like strollers and highchairs from various baby brands such as Owlet and BOB Gear during the week of Thanksgiving.
3. Furniture
While not an obvious choice for Black Friday shopping, furniture deals on items like couches, chairs, and tables are available this November. Retailers like LoveSac and Macy’s are offering discounts of up to 35% and 47% respectively, making it a good time to purchase comfortable seating for holiday gatherings.
Your family members are likely to appreciate the additional seating options during holiday events.
4. Amusement park tickets
Take advantage of deals on tickets and annual passes to popular theme parks such as SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia. This is the perfect time to think ahead if a theme park visit is in your family’s future.
5. Health and beauty supplies
You can find good sales on smaller items like health and beauty products, including discounts at retailers like Ulta Beauty. Look for special deals on items you regularly use, such as shampoo and conditioner.
Additionally, consider checking local drugstores for better-than-usual deals on toiletries and over-the-counter medicines during the Black Friday period.
6. Streaming services
Streaming services often come with a high cost, but Black Friday offers an opportunity to secure deals. Keep an eye out for discounted annual plans and special subscriptions from various providers such as Paramount+ and Hulu.
Make sure to check the providers’ websites on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday to avoid missing out on these offers, which may be applicable to first-time subscribers only.
Don’t let Black Friday break you
Despite the attractive deals, it’s important to avoid going into debt for non-essential purchases. Ensure to pay off credit card balances and prioritize your financial responsibilities before indulging in shopping.
Remember that a discount doesn’t justify unnecessary spending. Instead, consider using any leftover money to pay off debts or invest in your future.
While Black Friday can be exciting, look beyond the typical discounts and find offers that are more useful and meaningful to you.
