4. Refuel Between Shops
Black Friday shopping is a marathon, not a sprint.
Take a break between stores and refuel at one of the cafés, restaurants or food retailers at Birkenhead Point.
Start your shopping trip with a coffee, stop for a well-earned lunch or treat yourself to something sweet once you've made a dent in your wishlist. It's the perfect chance to rest your feet, check what's left on your shopping list and plan your next round of stores.

5. Compare the Deal, Not Just the Discount
A big percentage-off sign might be tempting, but the biggest discount isn't always the best deal.
Before hitting checkout, consider the final price, how much you'll actually use the product and whether there are similar offers elsewhere.
And remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you actually wanted it in the first place.
6. Stock Up on Your Everyday Favourites
Black Friday isn't only about big-ticket purchases.
It's also a great opportunity to stock up on the things you already love and know you'll use. Think skincare and beauty favourites, wardrobe basics, home essentials, Christmas supplies and everyday staples.
Add them to your wishlist before the Black Friday sales begin so you don't forget them among the excitement.
7. Give Yourself Time to Browse
A shopping list will keep you on track, but don't forget to leave a little time to explore.
Wander through Birkenhead Point, discover offers from retailers you might not normally visit and keep an eye out for unexpected Black Friday finds.
Sometimes the best deal of the day is the one you weren't looking for.
8. Do One Final Check Before Heading Home
Think you're done? Before you call it a day, check that wishlist one last time.
Christmas presents? Tick.
Your Black Friday must-have? Tick.
Something for yourself? Obviously.
Coffee break? Essential.
If there's still room in the shopping bags, take one final lap. You might just find your favourite deal of the day.
