It's almost the same with Christmas adverts, they seem to get even more dire every year.

 

But hats off to Iceland, for saying we're not doing it and passing on the savings. Granted it's all smoke and mirrors but anyone that's sent me a black Friday email is high up my avoid where possible list.

I bet they are gutted.

But they haven’t monetised it here yet, that’ll come.

Bought a Makita 40v stick vac a few weeks ago for £99.99 off Amazon.

 

A few days after I bought it the price went up to £116.99.

 

Had a look out of interest this morning, "Black Friday weekend" price - £99.99.

 

So probably a good weekend to buy anything off Amazon or such like that you were going to buy anyway.

 

Oh just remembered, Honey Bros had a genuine 10% off everything on their site this weekend last year and I stocked up on a few Silky spares for the cutting season. And I knew it was genuine as I'd been on their site a few times over the weeks before and knew the prices were the same but with 10% off.

 

So things like that are worth watching for but probably few and far between.

Black Friday is a pain in the arse! Had about 20 customers asking about any extra on stuff. We already give discounts as a standard, product dependent.

Well disappointingly I missed black friday, just checked my emails though and luckily a lot of places have carried their unbelievable deals over to today, purely so that I don't miss out on the fantastic offers available.

 

I'm blessed.

What’s the saying?

 

Idiots buying shite they don’t need, with money they don’t have, to impress people they don’t like.

Catchy saying that!
