Beware of Fake Discounts​

However, another rule for Black Friday is to check for fake discounts. Retailers like Amazon have been known for using unrealistic prices to discount from. That makes their offers look like a very good deal, which in fact they might not be.

To identify such fake discounts, it is useful to use price check websites. Not only can these websites tell your where you really find that keyboard, headset or monitor for the lowest price. They also document how much a product cost before Black Friday, helping you to find out whether you are really looking at a good deal or just a fake discount.
