I hope this is the last Bleak Friday this year.

🤣 impulse spending nipples #blackfriday

helencharm.bsky.social•88 days ago

The endless emails all week from companies pushing Black Friday deals has been ridiculous. Argos being one of the worst! I've noticed a lot of stuff in their "deals" is stuff they haven't had in stock for months anyway 🙄🤨

Martin my man I'm too poor to be led by impulse! 😄

vronr.bsky.social•88 days ago

I avoid Black Friday.

Anything you don't buy is 100% off

finlan.bsky.social•88 days ago

But @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com what about the guaranteed long lasting happiness and fulfillment that comes with buying tat you don't need? How else to fill the void?

Not too sure on the nipple tweaking analogy, but no, I shall not be buying overly priced then heavily discounted tat today.

charles28.bsky.social•88 days ago

Excellent advice.

suesoo.bsky.social•88 days ago

Be careful Martin, we know what happened to Gregg. No one allowed a sense of humour these days! 😉

ejider.bsky.social•88 days ago

Or, just stay home.

Nothing you truly need is on sale today.

Nothing.

joczechowska.bsky.social•88 days ago

Save money - buy nothing.

robsoncarol.bsky.social•88 days ago

A bargain is not a bargain unless you need it.

ozziedave.bsky.social•88 days ago

I did exactly that and got a bargain on some great headphones. 👍😊

cheetaraswift.bsky.social•88 days ago

Never thought I would see nipple tweaking in one of your posts, but sage advice as always.

eddieclimate.bsky.social•88 days ago

Black Friday...100% off... don't buy anything!!

capjd.bsky.social•88 days ago

Last week, I paused my TV at this very point, took a pic and shared on FB and just said "THIS!!"

Check https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com for historic prices. Is it really a deal?

thoughtsmyown.bsky.social•88 days ago

Really useful reference thank you, I hadn’t seen this before

bitriot.dev•88 days ago

Never thought I'd take advice on nipple tweaking from @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com - but here I am.

What a wonderful place BlueSky is.

rhalpern.bsky.social•88 days ago

Interesting to see that this post has currently got more likes and reposts on here than on the other place, good to see this platform taking off.

mystifiedgenxboy.bsky.social•88 days ago

Good advice. I always thought I was pretty impulse-proof but the sheer kid in a sweetshop vibe is so strong. I have resisted but it was a close call.

clonea.bsky.social•88 days ago

Anything I want isn’t in the sales . Looks like they are selling off crap to me.
