Tens of thousands of businesses throughout Mexico offered discounts during the 9th edition of “El Buen Fin”, an annual nationwide shopping event inspired by Black Friday in the United States and that, like Black Friday, was born as a government initiative to revive the country's economy.
Since 2011, “El Buen Fin” (short for "El Buen Fin de Semana," meaning "The Good Weekend") has been held on the weekend before Mexican Revolution Day, which is observed on the third Monday of November, giving consumers an extra day to take advantage of the deals being offered in physical stores and online.
This year's shopping event will be held from Friday, November 15 to Monday, November 18, with more than 70,000 retailers expected to participate. On this weekend, big department stores will extend their hours and offer in-house promotions, including special discounts, extended credit terms and easy payment plans.
Discounts will be everywhere during these four days, which can be a bit overwhelming. The key to taking advantage of “Buen Fin” promotions is to do some planning. One good way to find the best deals is to visit the websites of participating businesses to check out the discounts they are offering on the products you want to buy.
Many stores will be offering the same products, so comparing prices can be very useful, especially in online stores. Some big department stores and online retailers will create special “Buen Fin” sections of their websites so you can find all of their promotions and discounts in one place.
Since the purpose of “El Buen Fin” is to stimulate the economy by encouraging consumption and improving quality of life, it offers promotions and discounts on more than just material things. Airlines, hotels and agencies will also be offering great deals on travel experiences.
