Welcome to another edition of our financial education feature called Making Cents brought to you by our financially-savvy friends at Ubank.
It’s that time of the year again where there is a frenzy and gold rush for specials, discounts and great deals in the retail sector.
Black Friday is happening this Friday and we have already been given previews and snippets of what you can buy for a steal.
It seems every retail brand has something to sell at a reduced price.
But, Black Friday can also be an impulse shopper’s nightmare.
How do you stop yourself from buying items that you don’t need purely because the price tag is unbelievably low?
Can there be a method in the shopping madness where one can buy wisely and according to what their budget allows? There is also that one important question that should be asked – is it a must to shop on Black Friday?
As usual, our friends at Ubank will help us unpack this issue and share financial tips on how to survive Black Friday.
Today we are joined by financial expert, Kagisho Mahura.
You can also join the conversation by sending a Voice Note to 072 360 5392 with any question you may have or advice you may need in relation to spending wisely on Black Friday.
You can also tag us on @MetroFMSA using the hashtag #KingsSuite during the show.
Ubank is available on Twitter and Facebook @ubankSA, if you’d like to continue the conversation beyond this feature using the #UbankBlackFriday.
Kagisho, thank you for joining us on the Kings Suite.
