Is anyone looking out for a bargain?
In fact my suspicion is that most "bargains" have some hook (reduction has been added before, low quality things given away...)
@Ponderable saidAnd also that there are criminal gangs forcing people in poor countries to work for low or no pay. So the recommendation is - don't buy!

@Ponderable saidMy pet insurer has just offered a BF deal to win a £200 Amazon voucher. I would first need to download the app for an additional pet health service which provides an immediate online veterinary consultation to access the quiz questionnaire. I guess that once the app is acquired some worried pet owners would later use the app at a cost of £28 per consultation.

I never buy on Black Fridays or Black Weeks as is present week. You get what you pay for.

@Drewnogal saidWas on facebook the other day and saw a funny yet accurate joke.

Picture showed some kind of device with a 899 price on the Wednesday before black friday with the Braveheart 'hold'.
Same thing on the Thursday.
Then on black Friday it read previous price 1199 - black friday price - 899 and them going nuts for the 'bargain'.
I'm sure actual bargain exist but so do a lot of scams, like the super marts raising the price of something for a few days then putting it on offer to the original price.
@A-Unique-Nickname saidWhat a con! Then there’s the stores increasing prices on items for a few days before they display their loyalty card reductions in the same items.

Now is the best time to start emptying your freezer to make room for all those half price Christmas Eve offers on turkeys, joints of meat & salmon etc.

@Drewnogal saidRemember 20 odd years ago going into Tesco on new years eve a couple of hours before they were going to close. Assume they closed new years day then, think they might be open now. Anyway, like you said a bunch of cheap meats, remember getting a goose for about £3. Don't even like goose that much but for £3 😀
