Black-Friday is next week, and everyone is looking to find this year’s best deals. The financial website WalletHub recently released their list of best places to shop for top discounts on jewelry, toys, appliances, and more.
WalletHub suggests looking for sales of at least 37 percent off, which they say is the average discount being offered by retailers this year.
To find the best deal, you might want to visit a store's apparel and accessories section. If you were hoping to find a comfortable deal on a new sofa this year, good luck. WalletHub says furniture will have the smallest discount percentage.
Overall, JCPenny, Belk and Macy’s are expected to offer the highest discounts. Meanwhile, Costco, Best Buy, and Amazon are at the bottom of the list due to their already low averages.
WalletHub also broke the best deals down by product category.
If you’re looking to get the latest gaming console, Belk is your place to go. Averaging 75.56% off, shoppers can save as much as $250 on the latest Xbox console. Playstation fans can also win in the game of savings. As of early Friday morning, gamers can get the latest Playstation, NBA game and a carrying bag for $899.99, a savings of $280.
According to WalletHub, JCPenny is the place to go for computers and phones. While we didn’t find a wide selection there, we looked at the second-best store on the list, Office Depot (and Office Max). There, we found 2-in-1 laptops with a savings of $200 or more.
Despite Toys R Us making a comeback in Macy’s stores, Belk is going to be your go to place for the best deal on toys. The department store has toys with a retail price as high as $50 marked down to just $15. One toy on many kid’s wishlist this year is a drone. While they can be expensive, Sharper Image Drones can now be bought for $36.
If you want to do some baking and need a mixer, Belk has some by Frigidaire for $80. Air Fryers are also on sale, like the 5-quart Toastmaster digital Air Fryer.
