Do a need analysis
So many people have been using Black Friday deals wrongly. People ended up buying the stuff they did not need.

Do online window shopping
These days you have a privilege of doing the online window shopping. After doing your need analysing, the next step may be to go to retailer of your choice online to check how much are the products you are looking for before the big sale day.
Do the comparisons
