Quick answer
Sales can help — if you have a list and don't get tempted.
Black Friday and other sale periods are gold for holiday shopping — if you do not buy everything because it is 'on sale'. With a plan you shop targeted for gift draws and wish lists.
Make a list before the sale
Who gets what, which budget, which product. Only check off what is on the list.
Compare real discounts
Not every '70% off' is real. Check price history with a tracker or Google.
Set a total ceiling
Maximum X euros for all holiday shopping — sale or no sale.
Buy gifts, not excuse purchases
Something for yourself is fine, but not at the expense of the gift-draw budget.
Conclusion: how to put it into practice
Black Friday works with a list, real discount check, and a ceiling. Then you save without regret.
