Black Friday Deals: Tips For Food, Drink and Homeware Deals Worth Buying
Black Friday is no longer just about TVs and gadgets. In South Africa, it’s also your chance to get your festive table ready, stock your pantry, and refresh your home without blowing your budget.
Now’s the time to shop smart if you’re planning a Christmas lunch, New Year’s toast, or summer braai. Woolworths November Deals are yet to launch, but these tips will help you get ready.
1. Know What You’re Hosting This Year
Start with your plans. Are you having the family over for Christmas lunch in Cape Town? Hosting a December birthday braai in Durban? Maybe you’re setting the table for a New Year’s brunch in Johannesburg. Once you’ve locked in your dates and guest list, you can shop with purpose. Look out for ingredients for party platters, summer snacks, and celebration drinks to help you plan the right amount of everything. Buy quality products that impress.
It’s best not to shop Black Friday deals impulsively but to shop with a budget and a list of items you need.
2. Shop Non-Perishables First
Before the December rush hits, stock up on non-perishables while they’re on promo. Look out for pantry staples like olive oil, pasta, sauces and chutneys; items that keep well and form the base of your summer meals. Add tinned goods, nuts, and dried fruit for festive baking or casual grazing boards.
3. Freeze It Now, Serve It Later
Look out for frozen food that offers chef-quality food. Now is a great time to grab frozen desserts, pre-made quiches, cocktail snacks, or even gammon and roasts. This Black Friday tip saves you time and effort when guests arrive if you’ve got freezer space.
4. Level Up Your Drinks Table
Festive season drinks are just as important as the food. Are you serving bubbly, wine, spritzers or mocktails? Look out for summer-ready selections. Stock up early on crowd-pleasers and explore limited-time offers on South African favourites. Pair your drinks with ice buckets, glassware or drinks trays to create a proper festive moment.
5. Don’t Forget Homeware
Homeware deals give you a reason to refresh your entertaining setup. Look out for placemats, glass jugs, napkins, and ceramic serving bowls that instantly lift your table. You don’t need a complete overhaul. You just need a few stylish updates. Look out for Black Friday Deals on tableware, cookware, or even scented candles and table runners. These extras turn a simple get-together into something memorable.
6. Check Online and In-Store
Some deals could appear first online. Other deals could pop up in-store only. Make time to browse both. Walk through with a list and look out for surprise in-store promos if you’ve got a Woolies store nearby. Shopping online also gives you early access and helps avoid crowds.
Keep a lookout for when Black Friday Deals are launched. Some start earlier than expected. Check this page for news on Woolworths November Deals.
