    Black Friday

    It's becoming almost impossible to ignore, but once again I will be keeping my money safely tucked away. How much of an event is BLACK FRIDAY! for you? Discuss.

    I'd say i was boycotting black Friday and waiting for WHITE Friday but I didn't want to trigger all the libs remembered that the vast majority of my fridays were white in the last two years, nd it probably would be better for my physical and economical health if did just buy some nice reduced headphones or something.

    I am more irritated they have the sales over a week early now so come the day stock is decimated. I get paid tomorrow so hopefully bag all the christmas shopping and maybe some bits for myself.

    I've literally made a list of all the Christmas presents I want to get people and will order them all tomorrow. 33 things. Will it be cheaper? Dunno but probably.

    I struggle to see how someone would want/need 33 extra things. What are you missing in your life?

    Still though. It’s either far too many per person or far too many people to be buying for.

    Is it?

    He's a parent and a husband that also has parents, in laws, a brother, a Reid and possibly some step nephews and nieces or something.

    Does it matter? You're shopping for shit you don't need, you may as well mug yourself off the whole way for the benefit of society.

    Don’t need? I’ve been making this list since March.

    And dunno about savings. Probably.

    What all did you buy? I need some present inspiration for a 9 year old, a 5 year old and a 2 year old.

    I bought my Everton supporting brother in law this bad boy and his Liverpool supporting girlfriend this cup.

    That is irrelevant to the question of need. But as I said, you're keeping the economy afloat so there's no shame in it. Not for at least another 10 years.

    Lego has longevity, but it's mostly for the AFOL parents as until maybe the 9 year old most kids are fucking useless at building it.

    If not lego then tat. Kids love tat. LOL Surpise Dolls (perhaps one of mans worst creations) and the like. They just love shit. Just find whatever shit du jour is knocked right down online or in a shop somewhere and buy that.

    Or, if you don't really like the parents, then craft. Get them craft and watch the parents die a little inside as they open it.

    Nah, I'd much rather get stuff like that than a three foot plastic abomination that takes up too much space, makes too much noise and/or requires putting together.

    The weirdest thing I've seen so far has been a succession of aggressive marketing emails for Black Friday deals from the cricket shop which supplies ECB umpires with the official kit (I am an umpire and you can only buy from this shop if you have done your badges and have a certified login).

    I'm definitely going to go out and splash out on seven white coats and a couple of Panama hats if they send me a few more Black Friday emails.

    I’d say that nothing says “FUCK YOU” to a parent more than something with loud sounds and needing batteries.

    Crafts? Pfft, yes please.

    Also I also bought the few Christmas presents I needed to get during “black week” as Black Friday clearly wasn’t enough.

    Luckily we finally managed to agree last Christmas that we would all tone it down with the gifts and set a roughly 20€ limit for gifts.

    We've done the same, but even then I can't think of anything more boring than buying and receiving gifts as adults. I'd rather just chuck £100 into an extra food and booze fund.

    I've bought a kettle. Contain your excitement. As for presents, I'm helping my parents move over Christmas so I think that counts.
