“It’s only a bargain if you actually want it!” People went crazy on Black Friday, lulled into buying things just because they were discounted. If you didn’t manage to get all your Christmas shopping done on one day (who did?) then don’t worry, there’re are still plenty of ways to grab a bargain on the presents you actually want to buy this Christmas.
Many stores have sale items through the weekend until the end of November. For example, House Of Fraser have a six day event which ends on Monday 28th. Jack Wills are offering a 'Jack Friday Weekend' so if you have to work on Black Friday then you won't miss out.

Price Matching
John Lewis will price match most rival companies, but can offer better service and warranties on electronic goods. A 3-year warranty is worth having!
Cashback Credit Card
The top cashback credit cards give 5% cashback on all purchases within the first three months. So sign up for one today, set up a direct debit to repay the entire amount each month and then cancel after Christmas.
Warning – don’t forget to pay the card off in full each month, or all your savings will be wiped out by sky-high interest rates.
As always people – compare all products and shop responsibly.
