Making The Most Out Of Black Friday 2023

 Its Here! Black Friday 2023 at Millies.ie

The most highly-anticipated shopping day of the year is just around the corner, where our inboxes are lining up with offers and deliveries are arriving one after another - particularly for those of us who can’t get enough of shopping!

But for some of us, the sheer amount of offers and things to buy can get a little overwhelming. Whether you’re trying to avoid spending too much or want to get your Christmas shopping done at the best prices, but unsure where to start.

So to help you make the most out of the biggest shopping day of the year, we’ve put together the ultimate Black Friday Checklist to shopping online.

1. Organise your inbox: be sure to sign up to your favourite brand’s newsletters so you don’t miss out (hint hint, you can sign up to ours right here!)
2. Check if you’re running low on the products you use each and every day. Now is the perfect time for a bargain.
3. Make a must-have list and a nice-to-have list. That way, if your Black Friday budget is looking healthy once you’ve picked your must-haves you can pick up a couple of extras too.
4. Of course, this is the perfect time of year to get started on your Christmas shopping (or to get it finished, if you’re super organised), so start thinking of the perfect gifts now and you can tick them off your list one by one.
5. Research! This is if you’re ticking presents off your Christmas list. What serum is in your sister’s skincare routine? Does your dad have a favourite fragrance? Now’s the time to get your research done for the perfect pick.
6. Don’t forget the small presents! From stocking fillers to a small gift for your kids’ teacher, the little presents are easily forgotten about.
7. Don’t panic! Plenty of us have panic bought items maybe once or twice (or more, if we’re being completely truthful!), but that’s one thing that will make Black Friday shopping a little less enjoyable.
8. Last but not least, enjoy! Shopping is supposed to be fun, so let’s not forget that. :)
