What
Not To Buy
Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales are not necessarily the best sales
of the year.
Black Friday is not the best for jewelry
sales (April, July, or August are better). End of winter sales
are better for coats
and bedding.
It's not the best time of year to buy toys;
that would be at the last minute before and after Christmas, but by
then the selection isn't as good. September is the best time to buy
complete computer systems.
Big name TVs
have better prices in February generally, but third-tier manufacturers
have better Black Friday prices. [Best times to buy other items can be
found at DealNews
& Lifehacker]
Each
year the Twin Cities Calendar compares advertised Minneapolis - St.
Paul
Black
Friday sales.
We also report trends and list special hours at the malls.
