Great savings on Black Friday

The Black Friday came and went. Sure, most of the deals are still on until Monday, but there won't be much of anything new coming on sale this time around. If you really need something this time of the year (and other similar sale seasons) is a good time to save some serious money.

You still need to be careful. Some shops still do exercise the questionable practice of driving prices up prior to these sales to make the deals look even better (or even sell at the regular price masquerading dropping price back to normal would be a good deal). This still happens here in Finland even though we have pretty good consumer protection laws in place. The shops are requires to display the lowest price of sale items from the past three months. Some shops still do it anyway, they just have to hike up the prices earlier.

This year I didn't really have anything I needed so despite some (actually) good deals I didn't buy anything. So this Black Friday I really saved a ton of money as everything was 100% off for me.
