YOUTUBE Stop Wasting Money on Black Friday AdminNovember 29, 202504 views Black Friday is coming up, and this video is your yearly reminder that 99% of “deals” are fake. After speaking with a Costco employee with 10 years of experience—who told me she’s never seen real Black Friday discounts—and reviewing investigations that tracked prices for six months, it’s clear most sales are just inflated prices disguised as bargains. In this video, I break down the marketing tricks stores use (like anchor pricing and fake mark-downs), show you how to spot real deals using tools like Keepa, how to price-match, find loss leaders, and I’ll teach you the only proven ways to actually save money year-round: buying used, negotiating even inside big retailers, and avoiding impulse buying disguised as “limited-time” offers. If you want real Black Friday value, I’ll also share the best places to get year-long phone service, bulk food, and even beef at massive discounts.
