Use a price tracker like Keepa or CamelCamelCamel to see if the “deal” is actually a deal. Sometimes Black Friday prices are just regular prices with a fake slash-through. Don’t be fooled by a “50% off” sticker that’s been there since summer.
Also, check for open-box or refurbished units. You can often grab a 32-inch for half the Black Friday price just because the box has a tiny dent. That dent? That’s character. And savings.
