As major sales events approach, consumers are advised to be strategic about their purchases, with certain items often being poor value.

Experts suggest that while sales events like Black Friday offer opportunities for savings, not all deals are created equal. Certain categories of products are frequently highlighted as items to avoid due to inflated original prices or better alternatives available at other times.
