Are video doorbells worth it?
In our humble opinion - yes. Not only do they bring peace of mind, but they're also great for giving instructions to delivery drivers if you're not at home. Or in the bath.
Are video doorbells cheaper on Black Friday?
Absolutely. Brands such as Amazon, Currys, Argos, AO and more have loads of discounts at this time of year, so much so that it's our favourite time of year to shop for one. Christmas sales around December also bring low prices that you won't see once you hit the new year.
Is it worth spending more for a reputable brand?
While it might be tempting to go for the cheapest on the market, with tech products, if the price seems too good to be true, it usually is. Brands such as Ring, Arlo and Google have top-notch security features, better build quality, high-tech servers and excellent customer service reputations to uphold. We'd always recommend going with a well-known brand, and when the discounts are this good, it's even easier to do so.
Our top tips for shopping deals during sale periods like Black Friday
Online shopping means you can grab the best bargains from the comfort of your sofa without any threat of elbows in the face. Discounts will be flooding the internet all day - often releasing new deals every few minutes.
Here are our top tips to get the most out of the discount extravaganza shopping seasons...
Set up online accounts beforehand
The stressful part of shopping discounts is normally reaching the checkout, and having to go through a long process of sign-up forms, email verifications, and all that. So if you're serious about shopping, make sure you set up your online account in advance.
Organisation is key
Spend the week beforehand pinpointing an area that you really want to focus on. Whether it be a beauty treat or some swanky new garden furniture for the summer. Focus is everything! And try not to be distracted from what you're trying to buy.
Have a budget
Many of us are guilty of taking advantage of every single deal thrown our way, even if we don’t necessarily want or need what we’re buying. So, as well as being organised, having a budget and sticking to it is one way you'll see the most satisfaction from shopping in the sales.
