Ep 65 - What to Expect During Black Friday Sales

Black Friday has rapidly grown into one of Australia's biggest shopping events, but it works a little differently from the US version. In this episode, we break down what newcomers and keen shoppers should expect—from the types of discounts offered to how retailers prepare for the rush. We explore which categories usually see the biggest price drops, how online deals compare with in-store offers, and why many sales actually begin days—or even weeks—before Black Friday itself. Listeners will learn tips for spotting genuine bargains, understanding retailer tactics, and navigating stock shortages or delivery delays. We also discuss how to avoid overspending, the importance of checking return policies, and what Aussie consumers typically prioritise during this major shopping period. This episode helps you shop smarter, stay safe from scams, and make the most of one of Australia's biggest sale events of the year.
