Black Friday 2025 is approaching, and it’s the most anticipated shopping event of the year. To truly get the best deals and maximize savings, preparation is everything. It’s not enough to wait for November 28th: you need a strategy.
In this comprehensive guide, I’ll reveal the key steps to prepare yourself, find real discounts, and avoid scams. Get ready to shop like a true expert!
Mark the key dates: when is Black Friday 2025?
The official date for Black Friday 2025 is Friday, November 28th.
Meanwhile, the official date for the WeRoad Black Friday 2025 is from November 3rd to December 2nd.
But be careful: the offers aren’t limited to 24 hours. Many retailers launch “early bird” (or “Black Week”) promotions one or two weeks in advance. The best discounts on the most popular items sell out quickly.
Don’t forget Cyber Monday 2025, which follows on the subsequent Monday, December 1st, mainly dedicated to tech and online deals.
Research in advance: the real secret to saving
The more you know, the better you buy. Don’t wait until the last minute. Start now to:
- Define what you need: create a clear wishlist (we’ll use it in step 4!).
- Monitor prices: check the list prices before the discounts. This will help you understand if a deal is real or just marketing (prices “inflated” and then discounted).
- Compare brands, stores, and websites: identify where you might find the product you’re looking for to be ready to compare offers as soon as they drop.
Subscribe and follow: early access to deals
How to discover deals before everyone else? Follow your favorite brands and stores on social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) and, above all, subscribe to their newsletters.
Often, subscribers receive early access to sales, exclusive discount codes, or dedicated previews. It’s a simple trick to beat the competition on the most sought-after products.
Use wishlists
Your list created in step 2 now becomes operational. Almost all e-commerce sites (Amazon, Zalando, WeRoad, etc.) have a “Wishlist” or “Favorites” function. Add the products that interest you now. Why is this crucial?
- Speed: On Black Friday, you won’t have to search for anything. You’ll just need to go to your list and move everything to the cart.
- Notifications: Many sites will send you an email or app notification as soon as an item on your list is discounted. It’s a strategic advantage.
What is WeRoad’s Black Friday discount percentage?
For Black Friday 2025, WeRoad’s discounts are up to 30%.
Hunt for additional discount codes
Never stop at the sale price. Black Friday is the realm of “stackable savings.” Always look for extra discount codes (e.g., BLACK10, EXTRA15) that can be added to the cart at checkout.
Check your emails (see step 3), coupon-specialized sites, or use browser extensions (like Honey or Klarna) that automatically test available codes at checkout.
Shop safely: how to recognize and avoid scams
Unfortunately, Black Friday also attracts many scammers. Rushing is a bad advisor. Protect yourself by following these golden rules:
- Official sites and URLs: only buy from known and reliable websites. Always check the URL in the address bar: it must start with
https:// The “s” stands for Secure and indicates that the connection between your browser and the website is encrypted.
- Watch out for phishing: be wary of emails or SMS messages with “too good to be true” offers, especially if they come from unknown senders or imitate famous brands. Do not click on suspicious links that ask you to enter passwords or credit card details.
- False delivery notifications: a classic. Receive an SMS about a “pending package” you didn’t order? It’s a scam to steal your data. Ignore and delete.
- Unrealistic offers: a latest-generation smartphone at 90% off on an unknown site? It’s a scam. If a deal seems unrealistic, trust your gut.
Set a budget (and check return policies)
Enthusiasm can lead to impulsive and unnecessary purchases.
- Set a budget: decide in advance how much you can spend and try not to exceed it. This will help you focus only on the items on your list (step 2).
- Return policies: Before buying, always check the return conditions. During Black Friday, some stores might have different or more restrictive policies (e.g., “exchange only,” “returns not free”). Knowing if you can return an item is crucial.
Conclusion: your expert Black Friday 2025
By following these tips, you’re ready to transform Black Friday 2025 from a chaotic hunt into a strategic saving operation. Remember: preparation is your best ally. Do your research, act fast, and shop safely. Happy shopping!
