Endless consumerism will be the death of humanity. Not a comet or a pandemic, just voracious appetites for more stuff. We'll literally eat ourselves out of house and home. That's my view of black Friday.
I am available for children's parties btw.  |

Haha I guess our Boxing Day sales is kinda our equivalent? Otherwise polite human beings elbowing each other in the face to grab that bargain! I have a feeling once Pandemic forgotten, we'll be buying shitloads of stuff from China again... |

When I first heard about Black Friday on the news, I thought it was a day mourning deaths of shoppers by trampling, because that's what made it to the news when I was a kid. For some reason in America people died while shopping?
... I wasn't very old  |

Read yesterday most of the stuff is usually on offer for the same price or cheaper at other times of the year.
I don’t doubt there are genuine bargains but other than some Ombré Nomade I managed to bag already I’m sitting it out. Unless I can find some shoes I like. |

"I bought a new lingerie set from Playful Promises that was 60% off - I'd really wanted it before but couldn't justify it. At less than half the original price I didn't feel too bad.  "
Piccies please...!  |

"Due to political correctness it is now called bargain Friday "
Hilarious! Not sure if you're being serious!????
I normally holiday in US for around 10 days straddling Thanksgiving but not this year obvs...
I asked the Yanks why it's called Black Friday and apparently it's because the retailers are testing out consumers a month before Xmas, hoping to be in the "black" rather than the "red" in accounting speak... |

"To be fair ive bought some 'VANS' from Amazon as they were on my daughters list and Amazon had them for £23 instead of £45
"
What are VANS? Not the Luton white vehicles? I'm so unhip, sorry...! |

I've never been to the sales, I know I couldn't cope mentally. I don't shop. I buy. I use military precision to get whatever it is I want and get out as fast as possible. If I say I'm going window shopping expect to come home with a window. |

Haha is it true in French, they say "licking the window" rather than window shopping!
You and my bf must be brothers separated... I can't stand going shopping with him... He gets so bored and I feel pressurised to rush! When rugby season is on, I leave him in front of telly and go shopping! Blissssss... Oh that's a nice blouse...! |

"Amazon have some Alexa / echo stuff on special, but only worth it if you're buying it anyway.
I think their ring door bells etc are reduced too."
I've got a Google hub and two Google mini's in different rooms! I love it... Tho sometimes spooky because I talk about something one day, and the next day there are loads of YouTube recommend videos on that topic! |
