BF seems to last for at least two weeks in the UK.

Just be sensible with your cash and shop around. Don't buy for the sake of it and don't lump stuff on credit cards as they have loan shark rates. If you can, save up for stuff and then get it, without paying huge amounts of interest.

Shop for your job! If you like Black Friday or not, doesn't play a role here. If we don't buy ourselves the many products we all produced, we'll simply be fired.

Spend! Spend! Consumer spend!
