Black Friday shopping?

No. I enjoyed the bargain hunt on Amazon for the first couple of years, for Christmas presents, but couldn’t be bothered now. We’re buying for children only this year anyway.

Though I ordered a set of five chocolate Christmas figures from Thornton’s yesterday for the grandsons. They’re usually £10 each and were £30 for five plus postage, so already a great buy. They were doing a Black Friday deal of 20% off and I had another 8% from Topcashback.

I treated myself to some chocolate marzipan and gingerbread fudge in celebration.

No but I did get a robot mower half price some years ago and it is one of the best things I ever bought!

My straightening irons were acting up, so I decided to look for some in the Black Friday sale.
As I'm no longer working, I felt I couldn't justify the cost of a GHD pair, so did some research to find the best cheaper models.
I spotted a L'Oreal one, judged to be in the top three for performance, reduced from £79 to £29 in Boots. To add to my joy, I got double points and free delivery.

I'm also a fan of Phase Eight clothing and bought a knitted sale dress, with an extra 25% off for £19.50. When I received it, the label stated £110.

So there are bargains to be had.

I was looking at ladies pjs last week, then the same site popped up with the Black Friday across it. Exactly the same prices. !

No

No , as there is nothing that we want or need . We don’t buy adults Christmas presents in the family so nothing needed there either .
I have already blagged a 10% discount on aftershave that I bought for the annual Christmas charity gift collection . We always buy for teenage boys/young men who are generally forgotten in these collections.

No, I detest crowds in stores, so do not go when it is busy, and on line shopping is already done for the most part.

There were a few items I was watching the price on, and some stores have already started their sales, but the 'sale price' is the same as last week's reduced price. It seems to me that Black Friday which started off as an American thing has blossomed everywhere. We used to wait until Boxing Day sales if we were buying a bigger item like a TV, but I think it is all hype now and the bargains aren't worth scrambling through crowds.

Saw in the paper that most “deals” are more expensive than the regular price...

I don't really have my eye on anything and have something of a cash flow crisis at the moment. However, supermarkets here seem to be joining in the price reduction thing, so if there is something reduced that I usually buy, I might buy two of them.

No I don’t like Black Friday I m afraid I feel it’s a big old con and I hate the concept around it, when you see the greed of the western world fighting for something they don’t really need, and I m fed up with emails offering me Black Friday tat

Sorry jenny I m sure you ll get lots of positive posts but you asked and that’s how I feel
