Mega sales bring the year's best prices on electronics, furniture and everyday essentials. They also bring a lot of noise. A little preparation helps you come away with real savings and no regrets.
Before the sale
- Make a list of what you actually need, in order of priority.
- Note today's prices so you can tell a real discount from a small one.
- Measure your space for furniture and large appliances.
- Set a budget and stick to it.
During the sale
Focus on the regular price next to the sale price and work out the percentage you save. A 40% discount on something you need beats an 80% discount on something you don't.
