Write a list of what you&#8217;re wanting to buy, this is the perfect time to get high value purchases e.g. a new TV, book a holiday and to work through your Christmas shopping list.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Keep an eye on your emails<\/h3>\n<p>Your inbox will be flooded with Black Friday offers so keep an eye on them to make sure you&#8217;re getting the best deal out there.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Get searching on social media<\/h3>\n<p>Another place to keep an eye on is your social media. Retailers will be sharing what offers they have running either on their own social media profiles or as paid advertisements so take note when you&#8217;re scrolling.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Check your favourite retailers throughout the week<\/h3>\n<p>Black Friday doesn&#8217;t necessarily start on Friday, a lot of retailers launch their offers the week leading up to it, we&#8217;ve even seen some have started already. They may change the offer they&#8217;re running as the week progresses or the products on sale so make sure you don&#8217;t miss out.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Use KidStart<\/h3>\n<p>It goes without saying but don&#8217;t forget to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk?t=lwk\">KidStart<\/a> when you shop online to earn savings for your child&#8217;s future.
