Your 3-step guide to navigating Black Friday sales
Shopping sales effectively – especially Black Friday – is not for the weak. That’s why being prepared early is a great idea. Below is your handy three-step guide to ensure you get the best sale deal this Black Friday.
Step one: curate your wishlist
Who doesn’t love a good wishlist? If you’ve been thinking of biting the bullet on your next air fryer, or perhaps you’re after some fresh linen sheets for the summer, write down the big-ticket items you’ve been eyeing up in one curated list.
Step two: do your research
It’s one thing to write down ‘robot vacuum‘ on your wishlist, but it’s another to write ‘Ecovacs Deebot T3 Pro’. In other words, this is part of the journey where you’ll want to research heavily to ensure there are no impulsive buys during oh-so-tempting sale seasons. Our hot tip? Read up on expertly-curated buyer’s guides – especially for small appliances – to ensure you’re well informed.
Lucky for you, you can find expert buying guides right here at Home Beautiful. From kitchens, bathrooms, to laundry and outdoor buys, you can be confident you’re buying the best of the best – no matter what you’re searching for.
HB’s HOT SHOPPING TIP:
Step three: find the best Black Friday deals
Once your wishlist is sorted, it’s crucial to know which brands or retailers are offering Black Friday deals. And if you’re excited about the savings to be had, you’re at the right place.
Check where the items on your wishlist are being sold especially if there are multiple retailers. That way you can jump on the best deals, or if it sells out somewhere you can check for other Black Friday deals.

- Black Friday deal: Sunbeam Compact Barista espresso coffee machine, $168, The Good Guys

“I love taking photos, but I don’t love carrying around bulky tripods or cameras. This MOFT tripod has been on my wishlist for Black Friday. I love the slim and compact design.” - 50% off: Samsonite OC2Lite medium suitcase, $224.50 (usually $449), David Jones
“My old hardcase suitcase has been through a lot, and on my recent overseas trip last month it came back with unsalvagable cracks. I’ll be adding a trusty Samsonite to my cart.” - $150 off: Tokyo coffee table in Walnut, $399 (usually $549), Lounge Lovers
“This Isamu Noguchi replica has been always been a favourite of mine, taking over Pinterest boards and mood boards I’ve created over the years. Its striking tripod base and walnut finish is to die for.” - $11.85 off: Maison Balzac margarita glass, $67.15 (usually $79), Aura Home
“I’d love to host a bit more this season and into the new year, so I’ll be picking up these fun margarita glasses from Maison Balzac.”

Black Friday is on November 28, with Cyber Monday following suit on December 1.
Many retailers now extend their Black Friday sales by dropping early deals and extending offers past Cyber Monday, too. But keep in mind that the best Black Friday deals are often so good that products will sell out before the sales officially end, so it’s a good idea to shop what you really want first.
Homeware retailers like David Jones, Myer and The Iconic are all likely to have Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year, and furniture favourites like Castlery, James Lane and Mocka will no doubt have deals if you need to invest in those big-ticket items. This is the time to stock up on those larger items that will usually cost you a pretty penny, so keep your eye on brands such as Freedom, Sleeping Giant and Koala if you’re looking for pieces such as mattress, beds and storage.
