Anyone joining in Black Friday?

[QUOTE 2795728, member: 259"]Well, if there was something you were going to buy anyway, and you could get it cheaper, it's worth it.

Nothing of interest for me, so I'm not bothering.[/quote]
Quite. It's not a bargain if you don't need it.

Cheers Mort... just saved myself £15. Which I shall now spend on beer.

I wondered what all the advertising emails I deleted today were on about. Now I know.

I will be going to the local superstore in a minute to buy a bottle of milk and a packet of biscuits. And perhaps a loaf. I'm not sure if this counts as being part of Black Friday?

looked at getting the Samsung s111 mini for £100 but our local store had been emptied before 9 am

That's the problem. It's just a marketing ploy! The really good discounts on things like tv's and smartphones are very misleading. They only probably have 2 or 3 of each at the sale price just to lure you in. IMHO it's a con to get you in, except for the first 3 people across the door.

I picked up a Galaxy Note 3 cheap. If anyone wants a HTC One X, I now have one spare and I'm open to offers.

Didn't buy anything today except some Christmas tree decorations in Homebase.
Skint after buying a new (to us) 4x4 van, which hubby is hoping to collect from Leeds in the next few days.

What van is it? I'd like a 4x4 van.

We currently have a Vauxhall Frontera Sport 4x4...

but are getting a Mitsibushi Delica 4x4...

Nice.

I made an impulse purchase which may just break the bank. A Wii game for the kids. £1.99 inc delivery from Amazon.

I need at least 1 new baselayer. So, what should it be, a black Friday one or a grey Saturday one? Decisions, decisions....

It was like legalised looting with what i saw on the telly! Their desire to consume unnecessary unwanted items is tactless and distasteful! Most of the stuff will be junk that they'll either bin or take back to the store without a receipt,demanding a refund. Then if the shop assistant refuses their animalisitc thoughtless behaviour will start all over again!

No discount at the chippy, tight sods.

Understand a certain US owned supermarket is leading the field but I decided it was not for me. I don't do the sales, either.

I reserved FIFA 14 for PS Vita online at Argos. Going to pick it up today. Does that count?
