Black Friday: Five Surprising Things You Can Save On This Year
Once again the stores are gearing up for Black Friday. They will be rolling out deals on clothing, household items, and electronics of all types. As a shopper, you can save big this day, possibly on items you hadn’t thought of. Here is a list of five surprising things you can save on this year.
Gym Memberships
The neighborhood gym isn’t the first place you think of lining up at on Black Friday, but you can score big savings at many of them. Both private and chain gyms are offering a percentage off their memberships, a set dollar amount off, or addition benefits such as extra months added on. This is the day to think ahead to that New Year’s resolution. If you are looking to avoid the chaos of the big box stores, the gym is going to be a great place to find savings.
Tires
Most of us aren’t thinking about the car as we head out to start our holiday shopping, but it is actually the ideal day to find a good deal on tires. The black Friday tire deals are an excellent way to get that set of snow tires you’ll soon need or replace worn ones you currently have. It is always a good idea to have the tread on your tires checked before winter starts, but you can get your car ready for snow a lot cheaper by taking advantage of Black Friday deals.
Pets
You can actually find bargains on the pets themselves in the local pet stores. Many are offered at big discounts off the usual adoption fees. If you already have a furry friend, this is the time to buy needed food and supplies. Also be on the lookout for deals on services such as nail trimming, haircuts, and grooming. These sales might not be advertised as much as the discounts in other stores, but a quick phone call to your local pet store could help you save some money that you would rather spend elsewhere.
Food
Not many of us wake up hungry the day after Thanksgiving, but it is a good day to find savings on food items. Gift baskets and boxed treats make excellent gifts, and on Black Friday you will find these items discounted. Check online sellers for bonuses such as free shipping. Many times you can pick any shipping date you want, yet still get the sale price by paying for it on this day.
Hunting Equipment
If you have an avid hunter on your shopping list, this is good day to look for discounts on hunting gear. This includes clothing, outer wear, and even guns and knives. Sporting goods stores and outdoor retailers offer many items at a reduced price for Black Friday. The great thing about sporting gear is that it is fairly timeless. If you know your child will need a hiking backpack in the coming year for a scouting trip, or you have a avid hunter whose birthday won’t be coming for another 6 months, you can buy these things now, and save a good bit of money when you do.
Conclusion
Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year when it comes to bargain hunting. While you are guaranteed to find excellent prices on the typical holiday gift fare, keep an eye out for these unexpected surprises.
