Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year, when retailers reduce prices to give us a kick-start into the gift-buying season. With internet sales next Friday expected to top £1billion for the first time in UK history, millions of us will be settling down to a spot of armchair shopping or greasing up our elbows to do battle in-store. It’s a great opportunity to get some real bargains.
But beware!
You may well be tempted to spend some of your hard earned money on yummy treats for your colleagues, friends and family, what with pallet loads of Quality Street greeting us each time we go into a supermarket, fabulous gift ideas from the likes of Hotel Chocolat, not to mention biscuit selections galore.
We certainly don’t want to be a Sweetie Scrooge but to save our teeth (and waistlines!) why not consider some non-edible gifts for a bit of a change? We asked around the practice and decided that our top recommendation would be Boots’ 3 for 2 mix and match gifts – saving you time as well as money!
Happy (and healthy!) shopping.
Mike
