Boxing Day Apple sales buying advice
We’d highly recommend knowing what you want before you shop. It’ll help you spend your money wisely, because it’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing something cheap and assuming it’s a bargain. Think about what you really need in terms of specs too: how much storage and power do you really need?
It’s also worth setting yourself a realistic budget. Sales are marketing events, designed to get you to spend money that you would otherwise keep safely hidden away in your pocket.
Make sure you’re staying safe online too. Buy from reputable retailers, ensuring that they have a UK street address, a good returns policy and good user reviews.
Plus, if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. And if you’re almost completely confident but have even the smallest of doubts, it’s worth paying by credit card. That way any money you lose is the bank’s money so they’ll do their best to help you get it back.
