Black Friday deals: Are we really getting bang for our buck?
About this episode
It’s Black Friday and many Kiwi shoppers have already begun the hunt for some great deals.
While some retailers promise big discounts – sometimes, all is not what it seems.
Claims of retailers hiking prices before discounting them to make them look like a better deal are becoming more common – making us wonder, are the specials really that special?
So, during a time when Kiwis are counting their pennies – how can we make sure we are getting the most bang for our buck.
Today on The Front Page, price comparison platform PriceMe CEO Gavin Male joins us to give us some tips and insight into these massive sales events.
