Nothing because I despise the mad consumer frenzy that is black
Friday.

mamabear715 · 09/11/2022 12:28

Nothing here either, but nothing to do with frenzy, I just never see anything decent!

GladAllOver · 09/11/2022 12:29

Nothing here either.
I'll not buy anything that I don't need, and if I needed it I would already have bought it.

CorporateBull · 09/11/2022 12:30

Sales are pretty constant aren't they? Not sure that Black Friday makes any difference.

ThunderMoo · 09/11/2022 12:30

I always get perfume in the sale

Jizzle · 09/11/2022 12:30

My wishlist for Friday is being able to heat my home, afford some food for the day and if I am lucky get some food in for the dog.

PuddingBear · 09/11/2022 12:30

ERF car seat, buggy board, learning tower

Yep, I have a toddler and a baby on the way 😅

AffIt · 09/11/2022 12:31

I disagree with Black Friday on principle, but TBH I will be topping up on a specific range of hair products (curly girl product junkie with a taste for expensive hair stuff here).

I know, I'm a hypocrite, but in my defence, it's stuff that I would buy and use throughout the year anyway.

AgentJohnson · 09/11/2022 12:32

I want a ninja double basket air fryer but I don’t need it and I will not be paying more than 180 euros for one if I buy one. However, I will probably book next years summer holiday this week which will mean less money available to fritter away on shit I really don’t need.

SavoirFlair · 09/11/2022 12:33

Good lord @rainydays365 what is your AIBU question?!!

You do know there’s a Shopping Forum on Mumsnet?

Oh don’t tell me, “who called the forum police??”

YABU. VU.

NotSorry · 09/11/2022 12:34

My DS wants a kindle, so I'll be looking to see if they're on offer

AgentJohnson · 09/11/2022 12:34

I have price trackers on stuff I really want, so I won’t be taken in by supposed bargains.

Lyricallie · 09/11/2022 12:35

My wee sister would like an airfryer for her Christmas so either way I'll be buying one, just hoping for a decent deal. Thought black Friday would have some decent ones.

Applesandcarrots · 09/11/2022 12:36

Smart plugs to work with Alexa. I have few and could use couple more. Practical. Maybe good trainers as well

Good Lord @SavoirFlair the OP might not know how to use the site correctly - maybe new.

Agnes2507 · 09/11/2022 12:39

Normally I don't care about black Friday but with a baby due I'm hoping for some good deals!

JOFFCV · 09/11/2022 12:40

I might look for some Christmas presents.

Sparklesocks · 09/11/2022 12:53

Currently pregnant with my first so hoping to get a deal on some big ticket items like pram, car seat etc.

JamSandle · 09/11/2022 12:55

Nothing! Never bother with it.

WingingIt09 · 09/11/2022 14:00

New car seat and a new TV as ours is on its way out. Hoping to use Christmas present money for the TV. We generally only shop in the sales for things that we would be buying anyway, just use the sale to get a better deal.

roarfeckingroarr · 09/11/2022 14:12

Why do people disagree with it on principle? Surely just use it as a good opportunity to get something you need a bit cheaper?

This.
I hate it

roarfeckingroarr · 09/11/2022 14:15

What's there to hate about people using a known time to get discounts on things they need?

My dad wants some AirPod pros and we have a baby on the way. I also want a new hoover because ours has had it.

PrancerandDancer · 09/11/2022 14:16

I am normally done with christmas shopping by then, but this year I am holding off just in case my DD's wish list is a touch cheaper. The year I was pregnant I got some fab deals on reusable nappies and her travel system.
