three rows with a barbecue on the left and William Wallace in Braveheart on the right.

In the first row, captioned Wednesday, the barbecue is labelled "$899.99" and Wallace says "hold".

The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same.

In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with ~~$1099.99~~ struck through with "$899.99" written underneath, and Wallace charges.

The only way to know if a Black Friday price is good is to know the usual "regular" price of the item. That takes planning to jot the price down a month or more in advance and then wait to see what the Black Friday price is. It's all a game.

Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices

I use Keepa, same type of thing, and I'll just set it to notify me when it reaches the desired low price again. I rarely buy anything unless it's on sale prices now.
