How to get the best deals from Black Friday

Black Friday is now the biggest bargain shopping day of the year. When it first come to the UK a few years ago not many retailers took part but the ones that did. had shoppers queuing into shopping centre car parks and having flights over TV’S this year black Friday has been extended to black Friday week but do you know how to get the best deals from black Friday?

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is on Friday 23rd of November,it falls the day after the US holiday of thanksgiving. It is regarded as the first day of the Christmas shopping season,on which retailers make many special offers. Black Friday has become Americas biggest shopping day since 2005.Why is it called Black Friday? I was given the name Black Friday as its often the day the shops”move into the black”, meaning they have enough money to cover their costs while reducing prices.

Top tips

91% of stores took part in Black Friday last year and this year it is expected to be the same with the best of deals to be found online as it is predicted that 98 per cent of shoppers will shop online. Berfore you spend your hard earned money here are a few tips to get the most out of your money

• Know the price of the product beforehand. Its ok the shop telling you that it was £349 and now £149 but was it really that price? IF it is a £200 saving the it most definally is a bargain but it could only be a £50 saving.
• Write a list of what you want to get before hand.
• Do a google search of the prices of the things on your list you want.
• Find out if retailers will do a price match,some retailers such as John Lewis will match black Friday deals but not with online only stoes like Amazon and Ao.com.
• Don’t forget about Cyber Monday.
• Check the returns policy

Cyber Monday

It used to be that Black Friday was for the high street and Cyber Monday was when you could shop online for the best deals. Now that the 98 per cent of shopping is done online and more money is being spent online than in store on black Friday but this doesn’t mean that Cyber Monday should be forgotten about. Cyber Monday is on Monday 26th November with many retailers like Argos and Amazon promising big big deals.

How to find a bargain lipstick from just £1

Did you know that putting on your favourite lipstick can be an instant mood-booster and 90% of women feel that wearing lipstick makes them feel better about themselves and don’t do it to attract men. 

As women we love to get dressed up and put our favourite make up and no outfit is quite complete without your favourite lipstick. For myself I love a nude or natural colour as I feel im one of people that can not pull of red very well but never the less I do feel so much more confident with some lipstick on. 

There are so many lipsticks avaible on the market how do you know how to get the best deal? Without going to every single shop in town and not forgetting the multiple amounts of cosmetic companys now avaible online.

Poundland September finds

How is it September already! Where has the last month gone? It seems to have just flown by with the girls now back at school and me back at work. Here is my latest Poundland September finds.

Make up

Poundland have just brought in a new range called max and more. I brought one of the eyeshadow palettes and the mascara and for £1 I’m so impressed,the mascara I use every day and is a good as the maybelline one I was using before so I’m definitely going to be swapping to this. I also manage to find a Tigi foundation,it’s a cream mouse. I had a look online was £3.95 from fragrance direct but they do say it retails at £16.65. So at just £1 it’s a steal. Also Poundland have just starting stocking the Batiste root concealer which helps to cover up hair growth until your next wash. These are still selling in Boots for £7.99 and available in 4 different shades.

 

Skin care

Poundland have now release their own skincare range which I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. Called …….. there is a day cream,night cream, micellar water, derma filler and a collagen filler. I brought the derma and collagen ones and for cream it’s great is nice consistency and isn’t greasy. I would definitely but again.

Homewares

With people going back to uni or starting uni,Poundland have a great range of kitchenwares some are £2 but it’s still a great buy,like these lunchboxes great for salads and snacks and they come in a pack of 3. We got some of the water bottles,Amelia had one for school and I have one for work and I’m very impressed the plastic is very thick unlike other cheaper ones I have found.

Hope you have enjoyed Septembers Poundland finds, if you would like to see what we found last month you can read it by clicking here.
