    I'm more into Boxing Day. Last year I found the black friday deals weren't always that great and there wasn't anything I needed!

    Even the salesmen say that ! Black F is just a hype to make you buy before Boxing day as everyone waits for that morning.

    Some firms are a bit sharper than others.

    I use the camel price checker for Amazon to see if something is the lowest price it has ever been as some of their prices change several times a day and if a "deal" is not the lowest price something has ever been then I don't consider it a good deal - last year their christmas week offers had some of the best prices.
