While 2020 has been a crazy, unpredictable year for many reasons, one thing that hasn’t been changed is Black Friday.
Falling on November 27th this year, the major sale event promises all kinds of deals across the board. Given that so many retailers are serving up so many offers, we’ve put together a roundup of the tech-related promotions.
It’s important to note, however, that each retailer will be handling the COVID-19 pandemic a little differently, especially depending on where you are in Canada.
As a result, many stores will either have reduced capacities for in-store shopping or are shifting to online sales entirely. Therefore, you’ll want to check with your local retailer to find out more about their in-store policies. We’ll link to each store’s website when relevant so you can verify their procedures in advance.
