Are you aiming to get all your Christmas shopping done early?!

Nothing. I’ve never actually seen a “Black Friday” deal that was worth it! Prices seem to be about the same in the time before and certainly after “Black Friday”
Already done my Christmas shopping. Great feeling to finish early
bought a refurbished dyson vacuum , else im waiting to buy a bag thats only discounted during black friday
Nothing, and I don’t buy anything for Christmas. Just spend time with those you love.
Waitrose gave me some free mince pies, so I’m pretty much there.
I’m in a position to both afford a new laptop and approaching needing a new one, I have found the laptop I want so it’s a case of ‘waiting to see if the price drops any more than it has already’
I’m waiting to see if Cyberdog are going to do a Black Friday deal so I can get a t-shirt for my brother for Christmas if not I’ll be buying it anyway.
Will be keeping an eye for the Steam Sale as well, my other brother has asked for a particular game for Christmas, also new laptop means probably grabbing some games I want but haven’t be able to run (Hades II is one of them)
I feel at the moment I’ve brought a lot of stuff I already wanted/needed but will keep an eye out for some of the smaller brands I shop at to see if they do anything I want to use I’m basically not very invested in big brands so a lot of Black Friday deals don’t appeal to me but if like small/indie shops are offering a sale I’m more likely to take them up on it as I’d rather my money go to them.
I do mine in the january sales and put in the loft until next year…
A Le Creuset stainless steel pan from Amazon reduced by quite a bit. Bought one last year during Black Friday sales so wanted another smaller one.
Also got a couple of presents for people reduced by 20% which is handy!
Couple of tech items I’ve been sitting on for a while now just waiting to see if the price drops. Stuff I was going to buy anyway but figured I could wait a month or two just in case.
Gym membership i hope, if I can find a deal. My current one was a steal at £10 a month from last year black Friday until this year. Need to find a new deal now
New Dremel, my old one died a month ago after ~25 years service. I figured I’d hold on and see if there’s any decent discounts.
Black Friday is another blatant marketing scam for the gullible. Resist it.
