I’ve spent the best part of a decade hunting down deals for Android Authority, and I learned very quickly that a big discount doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting a bargain. <a href="https://myappsplus.com/garmin-black-friday-deals-knock-up-to-350-off-11-top-watches-including-the-fenix-8-pro-forerunner-265-and-instinct-3/" title="Garmin <a href="https://myappsplus.com/best-apple-deals-of-the-week-airtag-2-hits-record-low-price-plus-early-black-friday-sales/" title="Best Apple Deals of the Week: AirTag 2 Hits Record Low Price, Plus Early Black Friday Sales”>Black Friday deals knock up to $350 off 11 top watches, including the Fenix 8 Pro, Forerunner 265 and Instinct 3″>Black Friday is a particularly good time to remember this, with retailers plastering huge percentage discounts over everything in sight. Contrary to the memes, some are genuinely excellent deals — I can assure you that some tech devices will hit their lowest price ever this month. But you’ll also see many ‘Black Friday deal’ labels on discounts at a price higher than three months ago. Thankfully, there’s a very easy way to tell the difference.
The key to assessing a Black Friday deal is to use a price tracker. These tools let you see what a product has cost over recent months or even years, so you can judge for yourself whether that 50% discount is really worth getting excited about. They’re so easy to use that it’ll barely be slowing your shopping spree down at all once you’re in the rhythm. I’ll walk you through it here.
