Learning How to Learn: Smarter Study Hacks for Exam Season

The Lazy Student’s Guide to Black Friday: Scoring Deals Without Leaving Your Bed

November 27, 2025

Black Friday is coming, and honestly?

We’re not tryna be elbow-deep in crowds at Menlyn fighting someone’s auntie over a toaster 😭
If your energy level is closer to “pillow and Wi-Fi” than “Black Friday warrior”, don’t stress — we’ve got the ultimate lazy student guide for snagging deals while staying comfy at The Fields.

📱 Step 1: Prep Like a Pro (From Under Your Duvet)

Before Friday hits, make a wishlist. Not the dream life kind — the practical one 👀
Think:

  • Headphones (for study grinds + ignoring loud floors)
  • Snack stash refills 🍫
  • Hoodie specials for exam season
  • Maybe even a mini desk lamp because late-night cramming is a lifestyle 💔

Save items, add to cart, and most importantly… set reminders. Black Friday waits for no one — except maybe your alarm that never works 😅

🛒 Step 2: Compare Prices Without Getting Out of Bed

Tabs open. Fingers ready. Coffee optional.
Check Takealot, Makro, Superbalist, and even Checkers Sixty60 because snacks also deserve a discount.
Pro tip: If the “sale” price looks like the regular price minus R5… close that tab and go nap. They tried it 😌✋

🧠 Step 3: Be Smart, Not Impulsive

Do you need that R2,000 air fryer? Or are you just bored?
This is the time to channel your inner adulting queen/king.
(But also… if it’s for ramen and nuggets, we support you 🫶)
