What have you actually bought on Black Friday?

[evryevrytime]

I've found the barrage of emails and ads quite overwhelming so haven't looked for anything until today.... when I bought:

Sunday Riley moisturiser (20% off at Liberty - used my beauty drop money)
An Aura digital photo frame for my parents for Christmas (£30 off)
An Emma Bridgwater calendar for 2024 (10% off)

All things I was going to buy at some point anyway. I don't think I'll look again now as it's too easy to spend money!

What have you bought this year, if anything?

Rex the 6ft inflatable Christmas dinosaur. Half price at Homebase 😀👍

I have picture of the front and back -highly secure!

Children's play tent
2 puzzles

I intend on buying some yoto cards too as they have 20% off

A tent box. Have been waiting for about 6 months, watching prices. Got 25% off, so very happy.

Meta Quest 3 and a Dyson v15 Submarine

Ninja Knives
New carpet for hall stairs and landing
And I may have just spent £900 on Lego!

A leather jacket
Chelsea boots
An Always pan
Two pairs of trousers
A Bluetooth speaker

All great reductions.

A Ninja grill

Only fifa 24 as it's all a bloody con now, never get a good deal like you used to.

Note, I'll STILL be Xmas shopping in a months time...

New trainers for work for myself
Revlon hot brush for DD
Beats headphones for DS2

Nothing. There is nothing I/we need and I refuse to be manipulated by all the hype.

I get it if there is a big item you need but otherwise it is a load of marketing nonsense.

I got a wetsuit and a laptop. I was hoping to get an oven but the Black Friday discounts aren't very good. Should I wait for Cyber Monday?

Nothing

A pair of Crocs boots from the Crocs U.K. website 50% off

A voucher for a meal and paired drinks at Six by Nico, and hopefully tomorrow will be going halves with a friend on spa membership for a month - it's a bargain at £249 for two as it usually costs £75 per visit.

Sports bra and boring black pants for me.
Bath bombs for DDs stocking.

Some bits for my daughter for Xmas - makeup and a white fox hoodie. Also bought myself a ninja. Between the low price, top cashback & 5x nectar points I think I got a decent deal.

A rug for my office/spare bedroom. The original price was 160 pounds and I got it for 71 pounds. I have been eyeing it up for a while so very pleased with the reduction in price!

Nothing. My daughter asked me to buy something from a site (good deal) but postage was horrendous, such a cheat!

Various stuff for kids Christmas including Xbox Series S
Coat for DS

Nothing for myself but I'm glad to have finished the kids presents.

£60 black hi top converse for £37
£140 benefit makeup for £88

Lots and lots of baby stuff - baby girl due January :)

A subscription to MUTU to try and heal my post-partum body. Very pleased to have saved 30% off the price.

February is the best time for a bargain. When all the various sales are over, retailers are desperate to offload old stock.

Today - Ninja air fryer

Earlier in the week - some Gymshark stuff that DS has requested for his birthday

Still on the hunt for decent offers on aftershave (another birthday request!)
