If Black Friday is now unavoidable in France, since 2018 traders have been offering a French equivalent under the name of French Days. The next edition will take place from May 4 to 9, 2022.
It will thus be possible to benefit from numerous promotions in six major brands behind the operation: Boulanger, Cdiscount, Fnac Darty, La Redoute, Rue du Commerce and Showroomprivé. However, the operation is also open to other merchants, either online or in-store.
However, you have to be careful and not jump on the first promotion that comes along. Here are our tips for successful shopping:
- Make a list and watch the prices
Make a list of the products that interest you, in order of importance and check their current prices on online sales sites. This will let you know in the event of a promotion if you are really getting a good deal. Do not forget to register beforehand on the most important sites, this will save you from wasting time when buying. - Take additional costs into account
When purchasing, consider any additional costs that may add to the final bill. Examples include delivery or installation costs, or even optional warranties. - Avoid foreign sellers
The French sites also include Marketplace-type proposals, with external sellers who may be in France, but also abroad. Prefer France, or at worst Europe. Because for other countries, you may have delivery and after-sales service problems.

- Pay attention to warranty
When buying, the warranty should be taken into account in case of any problems. Remember that the legal guarantee of conformity is valid for two years in the European Union, from the date of delivery of the product. In addition, there are other types of warranties, for example against latent defects.
Finally, you can monitor social networks, for example Twitter, and subscribe to the newsletters of the most famous e-merchants to be informed of new promotions.
