Beyond Black Friday: consistently low prices at these stores
For consumers, Black Friday is supposed to be an opportunity to grab a deal and buy something at a fraction of its original price. However, it is widely accepted that many retailers – not all, but many – cheat with this marketing event. The most common practice is to increase the prices before Black Friday, and then slash them drastically, thus delighting the customer with generosity. Another gimmick resorted to quite often is “while supplies last”: the retailer does offer a very deep discount, but the condition is that it applies to, say, 10 items only, and after that, it’s a regular price with a modest markdown.
In the age of online shopping, though, it is getting somewhat harder to trick shoppers, since it really takes a few seconds to compare prices and rule out bad offers. As a matter of fact, e-commerce has caused real tectonic shifts in the realm of retail: it allowed cutting costs associated with space rent and floor staff. Smart retailers turn these savings into consistently low prices for their customers. Here’s a list of such businesses that sell what you’re always on the lookout for: computer hardware and assorted electronics.

DailySale electronics section homepage. Snapped at dailysale.com
DailySale is a smart choice for those with a one-off need for something particular, like an entry-level gaming mouse or a USB hub. As the name implies, such items can be bought here at a very low price compared to other outlets selling them. It makes sense to monitor this retailer, since “daily” in its name literally means the range of products on offer changes rapidly. Oh, and if you need new pajamas, you can find them here, too.
