100%, if you don’t need anything and you buy it just because it’s Black Friday deal, you’ve literally just wasted money. ‘Same as buy 3 for the price of 2’ nah man, I only need one, why would I buy another one just to get a 3rd free.

There is such a thing called context, which means not everything needs to be spelt out literally. It is clear that buy 2 get a 3rd free is most common in every food supermarket everyone has ever been in, and that it isn’t seen in Black Friday deals, fuck me.

We’re about to have a baby, so pushchair, car seat and birth to childhood high chair. I’d noted all the prices months ago to see if we were actually getting a good deal too.

Reply

Finger-Painter@reddit

Was there actually much of a discount?

Reply

[-]

fleurmadelaine@reddit

I saved 10% on the car seat, £25 on what I was planning to spend on the pushchair, but also got a bunch of free accessories worth £60 that I probably would have bought later on so let’s call that £85 (probably around 15%). I didn’t save on the high chair, but again got about 20% worth of free accessories I would have eventually bought. Overall I saved about 15% on three big things I was planning to buy regardless, so it was worth it. The only difference is timing, if they hadn’t been reduced I would have waited until mid December to order as we now have boxes everywhere and the baby’s room won’t be decorated until next week 😅

Used to work in head office retail. They only need to raise them for a certain number of days before reducing, so I took notes of the prices before that period started. They’ll rarely raise them earlier than they have to because that would affect sales that month.

A £470 Waterstones order.

I have essentially girl math’d it so I’ve only actually spent £115 (470-215 already spent on preorders - 140 on my points card) so it felt incredibly reasonable when I clicked the buy button under where it said £470… my wish list probably still has another £1k on it so I’ve been quite restrained tbh!

Nothing because it's another US imported gimmick, designed to make overconsumption some form of cultural.moment or holiday, to push us to spend money we don't truly have on things we don't actually need (but are gaslit into thinking we do). Then, when those of us who've been sucked into this PR spin, the profits are ushered out of our own country and into overseas tax havens. I'm buying local for Christmas this year and not engaging in black Friday crap. It's not a thing, and I'm rejecting consumerism because rampant consumerism is absolutely not serving me or my community. Who truly benefits from black Friday? Because getting 20% off something that has been strategically overpriced, doesn't seem like such a great deal to me. So begs the question, who actually benefits?

We’re so late getting all the Christmas presents and as our kids are older, it’s all Amazon so we sat down with both lists last night and got everything. My lads going to the army in February and said he didn’t want anything so I went in the military sub to ask what they would need for basic training and they gave me a list. So sniper tape, zinc tape, Krabenas (sp), starch spray, Casio watch, boot polish and brushes. Just stuff he wouldn’t think about. Oh and a big duffle bag. Youngest wanted lots of sketch books and charcoal pencils and really old radio head CDs. They also wanted a boom box. I swear that kid should have been born in the 80s lol Just gonna top up with pjs and underwear, socks and thermals.

Same. Lego and crap that we'd intended to buy anyway but just got at 20% off a month early

A digital piano. Specifically, a Yamaha P-225. Not really an impulse purchase, since I've been dithering over it for months. The price drop is likely to be permanent. Digital pianos are like phones in that you'll always pay a premium if you buy one the moment they're launched.

Julia Donaldson books from Amazon. They were cheaper than the works (which is usually the cheapest to find them) and cheaper then what people are selling on Vinted. I will be gifting them as Xmas presents for my little one and for my niece.

I'm the same, I got 2 pairs and my partner has got me another pair for Christmas. It sounds overkill but that will be my shoes for the year. I rarely buy full price shoes now and normally wait for the sales as some are getting so expensive

A monitor light bar with an rgb strip on the back. Been needing better light at my desk for a while now, so this was perfect.

Got some theatre tickets for January as my Christmas present. Bit of a spur of the moment but got the money from my folks as my gift this year if it means less lynx sets this year it's a win

The only thing I bought which was on actual sale was the Amazon exclusive set of 13 Disney princess dolls at £30 less than the month before when checked the price.

There isn't very much to get excited about TBH. I was hoping for a bigger discount at one place but they are only offering 15% this year after offering more on previous years. So it's a big disappointment. The thing is I can get around 10 to 15% on codecs from browser extensions at any time of year so 15% for BF really sucks.

Cologne gift set for my dad for Christmas. Probably will buy more like appliances etc next year as I’ll be finishing the main part of my house Reno. This year, just saving for the building work in March!
