The countdown to Black Friday 2022 in Spain has started. Next Friday, November 25, all businesses will offer their products at lower prices. This great event for the capitalist world is the most awaited by last hour dealsra and because in the face of Christmas, many already take the opportunity to buy gifts at lower prices. However, this year everything indicates that it will be an even more marked date on the calendar because in an inflationary context any excuse will be a good one to save a few euros at the end of the month.
Even though he friday november 25 is set as the official day for the celebration of Black Friday, observing the behavior of years ago, everything indicates that department stores and online stores will begin to launch offers and discounts between two and three weeks before the big event. So it is possible that as of Monday, November 7, you can already findsome discounts on the items you want.
The objective is to get items at lower prices, however, many users have denounced years ago that many clothing brands do not vary the prices, they only change the label to make you believe that it is discounted. something that has recently denounced the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU).
This body has carried out an exhaustive study on price control, studying the behavior of some businesses. From it they have extracted that the offers for Black Friday in the previous year really had a increase of up to 3.3%. In addition, as a general rule, the prices of some products down 12%while a 33% noted a slight increase.
If you want to avoid this excessive price increase, it would be a good idea to start watching the items from today to see if their prices change significantly for November 25. In fact, The OCU recommends distrusting great offers, since the promotions must be applied “on the original price” and both must appear on the label. In turn, this body reminds that “the law does not allow defective products to be sold at a discount”, so make sure that you just bought it does not present any damage.
It would also be interesting that at the time of purchase you make sure if the return conditions and terms are the same or change, since this could also help you or not to opt for the purchase of that product, taking into account that many stores extend the repayment period until after Christmas.
Black Friday is a good opportunity to purchase the product you wanted at lower pricesbut the OCU for years has warned of greater awareness so that you do not act from the typical thought of “buy to buy” and not because you really need it.
How long will the Black Friday campaign last?
Despite the fact that many brands have not yet ruled on the matter, following the line of the previous year, it is likely that many shops and department stores will launch their offers hours before November 25as it happens with some clothing stores.
But there are other brands that decide to take advantage of the pull of Black Friday and Extend your offers all weekend. An advantage that could facilitate your purchases to look carefully at the status of the products and their conditions.
