Cheap Black Friday Railcards – and other genuinely useful deals
The Telegraph says Black Friday has well and truly become part of Britain’s retail calendar, with the vast majority of brands offering some kind of sale or discount.
The problem is, while many headline-grabbing deals can sound like a total steal, they’re not always genuine deals and can encourage you to buy things you don’t really need.
According to Which? research, 98pc of Black Friday offers are “not the cheapest price of the year” – suggesting you might be better off holding on to your money.
With this in mind, the advice is simple: do your research, and remind yourself that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
That said, you don’t need to avoid Black Friday completely – particularly if there’s a discount on something you would have bought anyway.
