The only way to know if a Black Friday price is good is to know the usual "regular" price of the item. That takes planning to jot the price down a month or more in advance and then wait to see what the Black Friday price is. It's all a game.
Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices
I use Keepa, same type of thing, and I'll just set it to notify me when it reaches the desired low price again. I rarely buy anything unless it's on sale prices now.
