One and all above spouted this and that but did anybody stop to think how much we are being ripped off the rest of the year.

If its not specially brought in for the sales like January but is a genuine bargain 50% 60% 70% off, the seller is never ever going to sell at a loss or just break even always at a profit after over heads so think how much were being ripped off the rest of the year.

UK subsidises most of the world at the prices we pay, you can buy items made in the UK cheaper in USA even cars made here cheaper in europe.

You are wrong about cars, even at today's good £/€ rate cars are cheaper in UK across the board compared with other European countries. Do some research before posting hearsay, check the websites of car manufacturers for all other European countries & UK, we pay less new. Check foreign used car sales websites, we pay less for used cars. One reason is that we have lower tax regime. Try 100% sales tax on luxury cars in Denmark for example.

& while you are at it try paying road tax in Holland, how about over £1000 pa for average size diesel car? & house prices above even UK.

& so it is for electrical goods, computers, tablets, white goods, even phone contracts, all cheaper in UK, try just looking at price of clothes & even toiletries in a French supermkt. All above UK prices.

Fortunately Brit visitors to France etc can take advantage of cheaper campsite, food & diesel prices though...Lucky we don't have to live there.

If last Friday got you something you actually wanted for a lower price than previously advertised then it was a good day for you. How about a Samsung 9.6 tab e tablet for £99 at Tesco? Good news for anybody in the market for mid range 10inch tablet, they got a bargain.

This 'ripoff Britain' thing is so last century, fact is nowadays we have one of the most competitive retail markets in the world.

The trick is to buy only what you need at the best price & then while it is working ok don't be tempted to waste money on the latest version.

I recall when digital cameras first came out they were expensive. I gave it a couple of yrs & finally they dropped to a reasonable price & I bought one, probably over 10yrs ago & I'm still using it.

Now they have extended 'Black Friday' to 'Cyber Monday' so I can't see any history behind the meaning of the latter other than it's an extended sales gimmick identical to 'Black Friday'.

All that matters is the price you pay for what you need. The good thing about sales 'gimmicks' is that the financially astute can make them work in their favour.

Black Friday is a good time for online shopping and most gadgets will on sale on that day.But I never shop on that day, because i guess the delivery will be much longer than ordinary day.
