Black Friday Deals: What to Expect

Black Friday is nearly upon us, and you know what that means: Deals, deals, and more deals! Of course, you know you're not the only one who's looking to shop ‘til you drop - if you've been out on Black Friday before, you know about the crowds. Coming prepared with a plan for Black Friday can help you get an edge over the crowds and avoid missing out on your most sought-after items. Let's talk Black Friday strategy.

Use Our Store Locator

If you plan on shopping through our massive selection of Black Friday deals, you're going to need to figure out which P.C. Richard & Son is closest to you. Thankfully, our handy store locator simplifies this process by either entering your location or allowing your device to access your location. Once you do so, you'll be met with a map of all the nearest PCR locations.

Shop with Gift Ideas in Mind

You probably already have a pretty good idea of what you're trying to score this Black Friday, but it's still helpful to get a physical list together. Be sure to ask your loved ones what they might like—whether it be a small appliance or a video game console—and make note of the things you can probably get your hands on during the big sales.

Take Time to Browse Around

Black Friday can be super overwhelming, especially if you haven't gone through the experience before. Make it a point to try to rise above it, and resist getting caught up in the frenzy. Take a deep breath and take your time amongst the bustling environment to really find what you're searching for. With this strategy, you may even find a hidden gem that you didn't even realize you needed!

Shop Home Upgrades for the Holiday Season

Black Friday isn't just about gifts - you can also use the opportunity to spruce up your home ahead of the holiday season. If you're the main party host in your family, shopping on Black Friday can be a great way to get some new items for your home to make your parties even better. For Thanksgiving, you can look for a new TV so your family can get a better viewing angle of the football game, or even a new kitchen appliance to take some of the hassle out of cooking. You can also get a new smart home device, like a smart doorbell, so you'll know when your guests arrive even if you're busy in the kitchen.

Enjoy Thanksgiving

Regardless of the excitement that comes with Black Friday, try not to let it overshadow the holiday. Thanksgiving is an important family holiday that is often overlooked already. As fun as it is to get out there and shop ‘til you drop, make sure you enjoy dinner with your family first. We at P.C. Richard & Son are always closed on Thanksgiving to allow our employees, and our shoppers, to enjoy some much-needed family time.
