There are two exceptions. First, if you’re looking to purchase a “hot” toy — this year, that may include the Bluey Ultimate Lights & Sounds Playhouse and the Bitzee Interactive Toy


Digital Pet — consider taking advantage of Black Friday discounts. The price may still go down later, but you run the risk of the item selling out.  Second, Lego sets have sold at Target,


Walmart or Lego.com for 40 percent off during Thanksgiving weekend. Lego discounts don’t get much lower than that, so snag one when available, says Julie Ramhold, a senior editor at


DealNews. 5. MOST WINTER CLOTHING Despite the crisper air, winter hasn’t officially started, Ramhold says. “Because of that, the Black Friday sales will boast modest savings, at best, on


heavier winter clothing such as heavy coats and snow boots." "The one exception, he adds: We may see cold-weather accessories marked down for Black Friday, "which are


often marketed as gifts during Black Friday sales, so there’s a good chance we’ll see decent offers on things like scarves, beanies, gloves and even sets in giftable packaging." 6.


OFF-BRAND DOORBUSTERS If you see an item —especially electronics or kitchen appliances— with a price that appears too good to be true, look closer before making the purchase. “While there


are some great deals on electronics to be had on Black Friday, it’s important to be discerning,” says Michelle Madhok, CEO of the fashion news and deals site SheFinds. “Avoid buying cheap,


off-brand electronics that may not last long.” Instead, she says, focus on reputable brands and check the model number and product reviews before purchasing a doorbuster. 7. BUNDLES


Retailers often package multiple items together to push up the total price tag. This could be a good deal if you want all the items in the bundle and they’re selling for less than


they'd cost individually. But often retailers use this tactic to move inventory that’s not in high demand.  “Unless you really need the extra item bundled into the promo, you’re better


off shopping around for just the specific product on your list and skip the add-on,” Woroch says. 8. ELECTRONICS Black Friday electronics discounts can be tempting, but you may see even


greater price cuts if you hold out for a few more days. The lowest prices on most electronics — discounts that average 30 percent — will hit on Cyber Monday this year, according to Adobe


projections.
