Black Friday is no longer just a single day of frantic shopping; it's a month-long marathon of deals. To truly score the best discounts without falling for fake markdowns, you need a solid strategy. Here’s how the experts at DealZone prepare for the biggest shopping event of the year.
1. Start Tracking Prices Early
Retailers are notorious for artificially inflating prices in October just to "discount" them in November. Use tools like CamelCamelCamel for Amazon or rely on DealZone's price tracking alerts to know if you're actually getting a bargain.

2. Stack Your Coupons
Why settle for just a sale price? Here is a simple stacking checklist:
- Store Discounts: The primary Black Friday markdown.
- Promo Codes: Apply a DealZone exclusive code at checkout.
- Bank Offers: Use specific credit cards (like HDFC or SBI) for an extra 10% instant discount.
- Cashback: Route your purchase through a cashback portal.
By preparing your wishlists early and setting up deal alerts, you can secure the items you want before they sell out.
