Black Friday is a bit of a minefield. What do you do when basically the entire internet is on sale? When every major retailer — we’re talking Amazon, Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Macy’s and more — are claiming to have the best prices of the year, even before we’ve sat down for Thanksgiving dinner? And then you throw in the name brands, the Nikes and the All-Clads with their own sales, and your shopping spree turns into a game of Minesweeper. Well, that’s where we come in, folks! To guide you to the right deals before you jump at that 40% price drop, only to see the same item for 60% off at a different retailer.
You see, our team of shopping experts have been covering Black Friday for a little longer than we care to admit (okay, some of us have been doing it for a decade plus!). We spend our waking hours fanatically checking price histories and comparing items across retailers to find you the best prices, we ensure we’re only delivering you the most legit deals of the bunch.
