      I find this to be a sort of odd warning they do every year.

      If you don’t immediately need an item then yes, I get it – but that is just common sense. Don’t buy something just because it is on sale.

      Otherwise – the fact that something was on sale in July does not really help with my Christmas shopping.

      I mean does this surprise anyone? Plenty of “deals” are in fact just offering the old price for a bit before a price rise comes in.

      It was always a shite gimmick, they even stretch it out over weeks so it’s not even “Black Friday” by definition.

      So they may have put items on sale at other times of the year

      Just be careful, yes there’s duff deals out there but at the same time I snagged a dji mini 3 for the same price as a mini 4k in the black friday sale (albeit with fewer batteries). The trick is to monitor your item price for a while before sales periods.

      Use camelcamelcamel or pricerunner to see what the historic price has been.

      If you’re not using price trackers when shopping online, you’re not doing it right to start with.

      I got a nice deal on some rum i’ve been keeping an eye on the price, and it legitimately was the cheapest it’s ever been on sale on Amazon before. (Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva if anyone cares 🙂 )

      Bought my camera earlier this month on sale (about £400 off in the manufacturer’s winter sale, which runs until end of January), but have been keeping an eye on prices specifically to see the BF shenanigans. Wouldn’t you know it, some online retailers have already pushed their prices up by about £200 this week just before BF “sales” are meant to go live. So, I guess they’ll just drop the price by £200 again to the original value from a week ago to show of their “massive savings”.

      At least for Amazon, you can use camelcamelcamel to check the price history. It’s helped a lot in the past to spot if a price reduction is genuine or not.

      Surely people know this by now? This is just the sale right before Christmas.

      I picked out my Xmas gifts and left them in my basket….3 did go down but one nearly doubled in price!

      I remember when Black Friday used to last just one day. Now I spend the whole of November clearing my email accounts of Black Friday spam.

      I stopped entertaining it years ago. Unless I need it, I’ll keep my money.

      Didn’t dfs get into deep shit for their never ending sale at one point

    14. Blank3k on

      I don’t see the big deal – It’s just a day where you can be pretty damn sure the thing you’ve been eyeing up, will be on sale, sure it’s probably going to be the same price as other times it’s on sale, but there is a chance it’s even cheaper & if you aren’t someone that checks daily etc at least you know black Friday ‘season’ is a safe bet.

      I think most people have cottoned onto thr fact that retailers hike prices in the weeks leading up to black Friday to then make it looks as if there has been significant discounts. I think a government backed consumer watchdog should tighten rules around this and only define a “deal” as a price that is below the average cost of a longer period (say the past 6 or 12 months)
