I'm not going to say I haven't been succumbed to the deals of Black Friday, I have. I got some Christmas presents that I actually knew I wanted to get and I would have got them full price anyway but I got a deal. What I really don't get is people going stark bonkers crazy over things they never intended to buy until they saw it was 30% off. I've seen videos and vines of grown men ramming trolleys into other adults to pick up tellys, women screaming at each other over the last George Foreman Grill.

I got a Chromecast with 30% off (I'm still not 100% on what this even does) and a PS4 controller £15 cheaper than RRP, so I'm happy with the deals I got but can't believe the fuss it took me to get them. I also got a pair of K Swiss Trainers from Amazon's lead up to Black Friday Lightning Deals got them for £19.99 with only 10 mins left on the deal, I was pretty lucky with that one!
Don't get me wrong, I love a bargain, I live to shop, it's my favourite past time but I wouldn't go to the shops and belt people out of the way to get what I want. What really does make me laugh though is that Black Friday is traditionally an American custom and they are worse than us, they spend the Thursday giving thanks for all they have got and on Friday that "thanks" just sort of gets forgotten and they turn into bargain wanting monsters. I think this is the way Britain's going.
I want to put this out there who thinks if Black Friday is going to become a regular thing over here then we should get the day before off too to eat loads of food and get ready for the sales! Who's with me?

Thanks for reading:
I succumbed and bought a handbag from my favourite retailer Nica... But I'm not planned enough to be buying my Xmas pressies today. We're also doing food hampers for most of our gifts, so probably not worth looking today. Lol. I quite like shopping in store, not really an internet girl (I don't trust Yodel!) but the crazy in store-ness puts me off heading in to town!
ReplyDeleteI've got a few bargains this morning from New Look and Amazon so pretty happy. But the clips of people in Tesco and Asda are just plain mind boggling.

I haven't sucummed as yet. I've been looking at the cray cray video's of tescos and makes me want to avoid all shops forever more!!
ReplyDeleteI bought all my presents weeks ago and luckily didn't have to go through the stress. The thing that gets me is did those people who ended up in hospital or jail, really need those presents?
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of nice savings around. Have to love Black Friday!
ReplyDeleteI got a good deal at the Body Shop today. I wanted a shaving kit for Naythie that was £25 and if you spent £50 today you got half off, so I got the shaving kit AND loads of other stocking fillers and a treat for me. That's a win in my book :D
ReplyDeleteWe should definitely have some sort of bank holiday on the Thursday if Black Friday is gonna be a regular thing over here.

The madness yesterday was ridiculous! And all the retailers are rubbing their hands in glee while people fight over TVs. Madness!! Not sure where it came from so suddenly but makes the Boxing Day sales look so tame!! x x x
