    IMO most of them are c**p deals.

    The goods are over priced in the first place, and IMO everyone is on over hype brought on by the media and the high street brands themselves and people thinking they MUST have.

    The MUST have folk are likely to be back in a few weeks along the lines of ' I spent £xxx on black Friday and £xxx of Christmas as my kids HAD to have £600 each spent on them and now I am in debt to £xxxxx'

    Just madness IMO

    One of the shavers that Argos has on a Black Friday offer at £150 ("half-price") was actually listed as £170 less than 10 days ago.

    So they put the price up by £30 and then took £50 off again and then further still had the audacity to list it as "half price - down from £300" to make it look like a "Great deal". Complete BS!
