Instead of wasting your evenings or lunch hours looking for a deal, there is a better option.
This Black Friday use idealo and remove the headache of searching. They show you when the item you want is at the best price.
Save money on Black Friday
Whether you’re after a deal for yourself or you’re getting your Christmas shopping sorted, Black Friday can be a good time for bargain hunting.
You may know what you’re after and have the budget, where on earth do you start?
How much should you spend?
Instead of hopping from one website to the next to find the best price, idealo can do all the searching for you.
Type in what you’re looking for – be it a games console, headphones, smartphone, whatever – and you’ll find the item you’re after.
You can check specifications and product details but, more importantly, you’ll be able to see the current best price as well as the price history too.
This will make sure you’re going to pick up a bargain, or maybe decide to wait a few weeks for the price to drop again.
When will it be cheaper?
We’ve all got busy lives and can’t sit in front of the screen all day, refreshing the page and hoping your needed item will come down in price.
To save you time, idealo.co.uk allows you to set individual price alerts on items, letting you know when the price drops to your budget.
After you’ve found the item you want, click on the price alert symbol and add your target price.
When the price drops, you will get a notification to your phone or by email.
You’re also able to make sure the price includes the delivery charges, as they can sometimes push the price up.
Find a bargain shopping in store
If you prefer to do your shopping in store, you don’t need to worry about losing out on a deal.
Download the idealo app, and you can track prices on the go.
See an Xbox game in a supermarket and think it’s a good price?
Use the idealo barcode scanner, and it will pull up prices from other retailers so you’ll know whether it’s a deal, or if you should hold off and save your pennies.
Simply open the app and tap the barcode icon in the search bar. Point your camera at the barcode, and you’ll get the see the lowest price.
Doing this when you’re out and about can stop the headache of picking up something as an impulse purchase and overspending.
