Unless you have considered buying the thing before the sale, or have a clear use for the thing, you won’t save anything by buying it.
Also, black friday sales have been massive for a long time now, and it is now common to have manufacturers make dedicated, lower quality goods specifically for sale in on black friday.
Here in Finland, with any sale like this, the retailer must also display the lowest price for the last thirty days. So we can just look at what we want a couple of weeks before and see that they put the price up by X and then on black friday sales they give you X discount.
What I find strange is in cases where I can say: “sorry that is not that good of a deal, you should spend twice that and get this instead as it is a good deal.” They always just ignore your advice.
I sometimes find people already bought it. They only wanted my opinion if it agreed with them.

It’s easy to see the bullshit.
Yeah, but then they raise the price 31 days ahead of black friday, slipping through the cracks.
I get it though, here in Sweden, the best tool is Prisjakt, they have a price chart going back years for every product, and it really helps!
Yep they make tvs that literally only last a year. They are designed to last until next black Friday.

That seems to be true for a lot of things people ask your “advice” for.
