Here are 9 more ways to save big during Black Friday 2022:
1. Watch for Black Friday ad scan leaks.
Stores start to release their Black Friday ads weeks before the massive shopping event. In fact, Walmart was the first to announce theirs last year and their deals started November 4th, 2020 – that’s the earliest we’ve ever seen!
Ad scans give you plenty of time to make note of the deals you’d like to score online (or in-store if that’s where you’re headed). Ads also help you start planning your list and setting an ideal budget – plus which sites and stores you’ll be heading to first.
Check out our ad release predictions for an idea of potential releases this year.

4. Compare deals across multiple retailers for the best Black Friday buys.

We’ve got you covered down to the pennies. 🙌

5. Price match where possible if you’re doing some shopping in-store.
If you’re headed in-store this year to get your hands on a hot deal you just can’t miss, make sure you’re price matching where possible. In fact, we’re even expecting to see some of the same newer shopping features from last year, such as curbside pickup if you don’t want to physically go into the store. Sweet!
Here are a few great reasons to price match:
- It saves you a trip to multiple stores. And now more than ever, none of us want to go to more places than we need to.
- It allows you to use specific store credit cards or gift cards in your wallet.
- You can use a rewards account at a store that has better benefits over another.
A few stores offering price matching to Amazon include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target, Best Buy, and Kohl’s.
Before you step out the door, call your local store ahead of time to make sure they honor price matching for Black Friday deals. Also, ask about any restrictions or additional details to their policy that could apply.
6. Know each store’s deal specialty for the best Black Friday deals.
Historically, certain stores have offered the best deals in different product categories (specifically with JCPenney, Macy’s, and Kohl’s offering the highest percentage of savings). This will also help you know which sites to head to first once the virtual shopping extravaganza begins!
Here’s which deals some popular stores are known for:
- JCPenney: Best deals for clothing & shoes
- Office Depot and OfficeMax: Best deals on computers
- Best Buy: Best deals on electronics
- Amazon & Target: Best deals on toys
- Macy’s & Kohl’s: Best deals on small appliances
- CVS, Walgreens,& Rite-Aid: Best deals on stocking stuffers & freebies
7. Use discounted gift cards to sweeten the deal.
Stretch your potential savings by using discounted gift cards on your purchases. Sites like Raise.com are great for finding savings on retailer credit. Even better, almost all of the gift cards you’ll score are able to be used for online orders. Win, win!
Look, we know life is crazy right now, so if you really want to limit the amount of effort you’re putting into your Black Friday shopping and just need really great deals, then head over to our site’s deals on discounted gift cards here. There you’ll find the latest and greatest gift card deals!
8. Dress the part.
As we’ve stated above, we know the majority of Black Friday shoppers will be making all their purchases online this year so we highly encourage you to dress in some warm, comfy clothes to get the full virtual Black Friday experience. 😊
We shared our favorite pajamas to wear while we work from home and we think you should treat yourself to a pair (or two) while you get your Black Friday shopping on. Top it off with some fuzzy slippers and you’ll be ready to hit the online stores in no time. 😉
Don’t forget to mask up (if required) if you’re headed for some in-store shopping. Pack some snacks, your shopping list, the best hand sanitizer, and stay safe, friends!
9. Keep your receipts!
After the adrenaline rush is over, you may realize that you got caught up in the Black Friday craziness and purchased items that you don’t really want or need (it’s easy to do and we totally get it). If you keep all of your online receipts in a special folder on your phone or desktop, you MAY be able to initiate a return and get a full refund depending on the store’s policy.
Psst…These stores & brands have excellent return policies! 👏
