Not a penny! I buy bargains throughout the year for things I want. Black Friday is a con: the "bargains" in the majority of cases were cheaper yesterday!

I just saw a 60 inch 4k TV for £5 but the volume button is stuck on loud.

I thought I can't turn that down!

Nothing. People going crazy for cut price shit the stores couldn't sell yesterday is not my idea of fun.

Also, I don't get paid until Wednesday

There seems to have been a trend to try to spread it over the week, this year. Plus there has been a lot of talk about how it's all a bit of a con. It'll be interesting to see the figures later.

Mr ddc

Ps. Good luck!

Spend on 'Black Friday' artificially reduced sub-standard items I don't actually need : 0

Rucks I get in to fighting random strangers over artificially reduced sub-standard items I don't actually need : 0

Regular weekly shop : region of £50 - £90 depending what's on the list

I was gonna spend on some software I need to help speed up my workflow at the studio, but the discount is crap so I won't be bothering.

The whole thing is a nonsense. People clambering over each other to get discounted crap that's been gathering dust in warehouses all year.

About £50-£60 on a new microwave as the current one died this week. Otherwise I'd be avoiding Black Friday like the plague

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

I'm as cynical about "sale prices" as anyone, but for any given item, the question is always "would I pay that price for this?". Today is just a day when the question may get asked more - the standard required for a positive answer doesn't change

Black Friday is indeed a con in many cases. Big signs saying Was £xx Now £xx when in fact two weeks ago it was cheaper.

Something I have been looking at on Amazon for about 2 weeks went up by about 20% last week but is on 'Sale' today for more than it was two weeks ago but it has a big Black Friday Sale label on it...

Well I have to say I'm in the minority here, but I haven't found Black Friday a con at all, I have made brilliant use of it again this year as I did last year, maybe it's just great if you really want something in particular, who knows, but last year I got £120 off a ps4 and £180 off a hybrid bike and £130 off an iPad Air.

I've done it again this year, saved £163 on a smart watch, £80 on a gaming chair, £140 on an iPad Air 2, I'm over the moon

I guess it's just not for everyone

I do need some new clothes and I am a sucker for a sales pitch but loathed to buy in to the comodification culture. I'll just have to buy some stuff nearer Christmas when there's no choice and everything is dearer.

another thing to bear in mind is that black Friday 'deals' in the shops aren't always refundable so you need to make sure you really need all that stuff that was probably cheaper yesterday anyway

a quandary, could you change my mind?

I did go out and buy a Christmas present or two, why did I not realise that it was black Friday. Must say the shops I visited were quiet and more staff to help out, I already knew what I wanted and I did get a little discount on what I expected to pay.

I was looking for a good deal on a Xbox for my son. Hadn't been impressed with the bundles that were available. Neither of us are into football, and the other bundles were both inappropriate for his age. He really likes driving games.

Fortunately Smyths did a Black Friday special on a Minecraft Bundle (he also quite likes Minecraft) which was £20 cheaper than their normal price, plus they were throwing in Forza Horizon 3.

Sorted
