2. Don't buy directly from Apple and Bose and other manufacturers
If you decide you need new headphones, you might be inclined to just buy them straight on the manufacturer's website or at their store. After all, you know you'll be getting good service and the exact product you want.
While that might be true, it's also true that you're not going to be saving a lot of money. 😬 Usually, the retailers will push their brand-new stock at the same price. They sometimes even raise their prices beforehand to then lower them in November, only making it seem like a good deal.
Another common practice is only offering the best deals inside bundles. It makes sense for them since they're essentially clearing out products in bulk. But if you don't need a new phone and new headphones, you're not really saving money, you're instead being upsold!
So if you're really looking to save big on headphones for Black Friday in the UK, we think you shouldn't just look at the offers you find in stores and on manufacturer's websites. Consider small businesses, online marketplaces and other retailers and resellers.
