Black Friday is the most important shopping day of the year, a non-stop weekend full of offers where you can find the best prices (using these tools, we will remove the deception in prices that are regularly produced at this time) on products such as laptops, 4K TVs, phones and more.
You can search for what interests you in the traditional way, but if you want to be one of the first people to discover price drops on products that matter to you during Black Friday days, keep reading because the information we will provide will help you.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday (the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday on the last Thursday of November) is the biggest retail shopping day in the United States, retailers typically offer big discounts to kick off the holiday season.
Cyber Monday, the Monday after Black Friday, is a 24-hour online shopping event created to persuade people to shop online and is now seen as an extension of the 2023 Black Friday sales.
When is Black Friday 2023?
This year, Black Friday 2023 falls on Friday, November 24th.
Black Friday 2023 used to be one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Stores like Amazon, Argos, Currys and John Lewis started offering discounts very early in the month, leading some to now refer to it as "Black November."
Other retailers, like M&S and Next, said they will not participate in Black Friday at all this year due to consumer concerns over whether sales are already providing value for money.
Black Friday 2023: Free tools to find the best deals and discounts
In this article we have included some tools that you can use during Black Friday 2023, highlighting how each can help you track discounts in different ways.
They are all free to use, and once you add the products you want to monitor, you don't need to do anything else until it's time to buy.
Best tools to find the best discounts on Black Friday
1. Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker
Have you ever found yourself browsing Amazon, adding items to your cart, and realizing the product
was cheaper before?
It's happened to all of us. And here is where the Keepa browser extension comes in handy. It allows you to monitor price changes of products on Amazon (with embedded history), so you can take advantage of the best discounts.
2. CamelCamelCamel
CamelCamelCamel tracks the price of every product sold on Amazon and can send you price drop alerts when it falls to a low level you specify. Once a product hits your target price or lower, you'll receive an email notification. This price tracker only works with products on Amazon.
To track prices and receive email alerts, you'll need to create a free account. Additionally, we suggest installing their browser extension called The Camelizer, which allows you to view price trends on a product directly without leaving Amazon and lets you set the price you want without leaving the site. It's great and easy to use.
Once one of your tracked products drops below the specified alert price, you'll receive an email instantly. And if you already have a saved Amazon wish list, you can import it into CamelCamelCamel.
3. HONEY
Like CamelCamelCamel, the Honey browser extension can track prices of items you're interested in and will notify you when it finds a discount.
However, unlike the above price tracking site, Honey will also track every site you visit to find coupon codes that can be applied to lower your total payments and save you more money.
4. SLICKDEALS
Slickdeals aggregates some of the best deals online as discovered by their team and user community. Their site also allows you to set alerts based on keyword searches, but they work slightly differently on Slickdeals.
You can write a product name, like "Nintendo Switch" or retailer name, and once added to your list, you'll be notified by deal alert if it meets your criteria.
You can set your alert to literally any price-related post linked to your keyword, or you can filter deals so you're only notified, for example, if the deal is popular enough to make the Slickdeals front page or is highly rated by the community.
5. PC PART PICKER
As the name suggests, PCPartPicker helps you choose compatible PC components that work together, making the already difficult task of assembling them a bit easier.
This in itself makes it an important tool, but it's also a great price tracking tool, showing you a detailed chart outlining the current and past price movement of a specific product.
