- Do not buy these items on Black Friday!
These are the worst items to buy for Black Friday 2018.
(cash register ring up) (blissful melody)
From big screen TV's, to laptops, headphones,
and a whole lot of confusion.
Hi, I'm the deal guy Matt Granite!
I find the biggest deals on YouTube.
And my favorite thing about this year
is before we get into what I would not buy
for Black Friday 2018,
I'm gonna talk about Cyber Monday
and also a giveaway where everything you see behind me
including the Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch,
the PS4, and some big screen smart TV deals
are all items I am giving away
to the subscribers of this channel.
I'm gonna talk about a massive giveaway in a moment!
But first, for Black Friday 2018,
lot of people have some confusion.
You're seeing-- (thud)
I dropped the TV, everything's fine.
(thud)
And I just dropped (laughs) an iPad, cause I'm an idiot.
That's fine. (chuckles)
A lot of you are seeing laptop deals,
and iPad deals and you're wondering
"What are the best deals?"
and "what should you not buy?"
So I wanna set the record straight, first of all,
that this is the year of the iPhone, the iPad.
And there will be incentives from Walmart,
Target, Best Buy, Amazon posting some fantastic deals.
But the big thing that I would focus on
for Black Friday this year, gaming units.
The PS4's which I have not dropped yet,
and many of the Xbox One gaming bundles
will be heavily reduced.
But what a lot of people don't realize,
is gaming accessories.
So the actual deals tied to gaming chairs,
gaming headphones,
and some additional computer accessories
are actually better deals on Cyber Monday vs. Black Friday.
So as the five things I would not buy on Black Friday,
gaming units, good.
The multi-media, awesome.
The accessories and peripherals,
not a good buy on Black Friday.
The number four thing that I wouldn't buy is
jewelry.
There are some great jewelry sales on Black Friday,
Blue Nile will actually have something
that's worth taking a look at.
But if you can wait,
remember we actually see the best
jewelry deals of the year for Valentine's day.
Engagement season, all that other stuff brings
some great incentives.
But jewelry, generally not a great buy on Black Friday.
The number three item I would not buy on Black Friday,
fitness equipment.
Keep in mind, the new years resolutions
and all of that incentive to try and lose weight
and get more toned actually tie to New Year's resolution.
So end of December, early January,
is when we actually see the best deals.
I wouldn't buy a treadmill or stair climber,
whatever it is you want, on Black Friday itself.
In the number two spot,
I would not buy a gift card of any type on Black Friday.
Yes, there are great deals at Walmart.
So for example, if you buy the new iPhone,
you get a $300 gift card.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm referring to the actual gift card purchases
that we make for stocking stuffers and beyond.
The much better incentives
tied to gift cards were for example,
you spend $100 you get an additional 50.
Whether it's your favorite restaurant or a spa,
those deals drop in the days leading up to Christmas.
So wait as late as you can in December for those deals.
Those are not a good purchase on Black Friday.
And the number one item I would not buy on Black Friday,
toys.
We see it every year,
stores try to pawn off all sorts of toys that
aren't quite reduced.
Nearly as much as they are
in the five days that proceed Christmas.
So while those door busters are very enticing,
buy the toys for Christmas closer to Christmas.
Same thing, every year.
Now there's one other thing that I could point out
which isn't a top five don't buy.
But if I had a top 10, it would be part of my top 10.
The one thing I wanna remind you is
store wide sales on Black Friday,
are generally 10% better on Cyber Monday.
So give you an example,
Gap, Banana Republic,
some of your favorite retailers, Abercrombie,
they'll have a sale for 30% off store wide on Black Friday.
And then they replicate a sale
that's 40% off on Cyber Monday.
It's very frustrating.
So when it comes to the blanket store wide sales
where you're shopping digitally,
remember Cyber Monday is better for that vs. Black Friday.
Those are the items I would buy
and would not buy for Black Friday 2018.
Now, as we get to the giveaway,
you could see that I've got lots of nice things
in front of me right here.
Including the new iPads,
and some really good gaming bundles and
laptops.
