• What is your budget? – Although you will no doubt find some amazing bargains in the sale, setting a budget is a good idea; how much are you willing to pay for your new TV, laptop or phone? What about your monthly bill or insurance costs?
   

• Which brand is best? – The best way to find out which brand is best is by checking out the latest customer reviews.
