Not all Black Friday deals are created equal. While a discount might seem like a good deal, you could still be missing the lowest price - which is never ideal but especially not over Black Friday.

But there's a simple trick that will make sure you're always getting the best possible price. It only takes a few seconds, and at one retailer, it will save you £700 on one product alone, for exactly the same device. That's worth a few seconds of anyone's time. Let me explain.

Hue can't be serious

All you have to do is check the price of each colour variant. See, we told you it was simple. It will only take a few seconds, even for products with loads of different finishes, and it could save you an absolute packet.

The KEF LS50 Wireless II, for example, costs £2199 at Peter Tyson in the Sandshell and Moss Green Finishes, but £1799 in Mineral White and Carbon Black. But that's not the best saving. Buy it in Titanium Grey, and you'll pay just £1499 – a whopping £700 less than you could be paying. And all from the same retailer!

Now the LS50 Wireless II is a fantastic all-in-one system – so much so that we gave it an Award this year. But that doesn't justify spending £700 more than you have to.

It's not just Peter Tyson offering different prices for different finishes. It happens all the time on Amazon, though in the below case it does at least show you all the prices at once so you don't have to click each individual one.

This deal is on the Award-winning JBL Flip 7, which is £80 in black or blue, but as much as £98 in its other finishes. That's a saving of £18, and the only difference is the colour.

Over at Peter Tyson, there's an extra £50 off the Focal Bathys headphones in the Black Silver finish too, taking the price down to £499. Because why take £150 off when you could take £200?

Eyeing up a Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speaker? At Amazon there's £45 off the B&O Beosound A1 (3rd Gen) if you go for the Honey Tone finish, which we think is rather fetching.

The Elac Debut 3.0 DB53 are solid bookshelf speakers, earning four stars in our review. And now they're discounted by £100 in the Walnut finish, but only by £10 in Black Ash. The choice is clear.

Whenever we feature a deal, we check the discount on each individual finish to make sure we're bringing you the best possible price.

But if you're going it alone in your deal hunting, make sure you check every finish to avoid missing out on a bargain.
