I too avoided like the plague being sucked into the nonsence yesterday.If stuff is 70% discounted then its overpriced in the first place.I suppose I am lucky in that there is nothing I need or want at the moment .To see people fighting over stuff is just a bit weird to be honest The thought that some folk are just so consumed by the idea of 'grabbing a pile of t.v.s is just too peculiar to me.My t.v. is fit for what I want it to do and was my DDs old one when they bought a newer model (her and her OH tend to replace things long before they wear out)so I am quite happy with it.
Nothing electrical of mine needs replacing, and as for just grabbing stuff off the shelves because its there I think says a lot about the grab,grab, grab, notions of modern life I try to make my stuff last as long as I can(read falling to bits :) )before I will replace it.But then I have never found anything I remotely wanted or needed in sales.
I do however enjoy to post Christmas reductions in the SM with regards to food sales and last year got some Robertsons best quality Chrismas mincemeat for 20p a jar (6 jars) thats done be throughout the year, and I will finish off this year for the mince pies.:):):) I also got a large turkey last year that we had at Easter for £2.50,already frozen so it went straight into Dds freezer.That's the sort of bargains I look for :)But different strokes for different folks I suppose

p.s. I buy my calendar for next year in the first week of January along with Christmas wrapping paper as well for next year :):)

I shall think of you doing this down in Kent while I do the same in Central Scotland. This is what I love about the OS forum, so many like minded people

I spent £107 on Black Friday. Not in any sale, but in an eye watering amount for under 15 minutes at the vets. However I love my cat to bits and she is worth far more to be than any end of line TV bought in a supermarket scrum.
