Speaker 1: Can it joined us this morning? Aka sugar mama?
Speaker 2: Can I good morning, morning, good morning.
Speaker 3: I like the way you say sugar mama.
Speaker 4: So it is Black Friday today. Now I have been
Speaker 4: quite good this year. For the first time in my life,
Speaker 4: I've already bought some Christmas presents because Black Friday is
Speaker 4: not just one day anymore. It does it end today? No?
Speaker 2: I believe it kicks off.
Speaker 3: I mean, and a lot of these brands have actually
Speaker 3: called it early, and we've actually began a few weeks
Speaker 3: ago even. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, so now is the time to pre shop
Speaker 4: for Christmas? What are some of the best things that
Speaker 4: we could be buying? Is it just Christmas presents? Or
Speaker 4: should we be also stocking up for our homes and
Speaker 4: buying sheets and towels and all that stuff down too.
Speaker 3: I actually bought some sheets yesterday, So it's funny you
Speaker 3: say that. Look, I think you should look at this
Speaker 3: as an opportunity to buy the things that you need
Speaker 3: and look forward, So not necessarily just Christmas presents.
Speaker 2: Think you know, back.
Speaker 3: To school, you know, school shoes, stationary if it's on sale,
Speaker 3: of course, even things you might need for say work,
Speaker 3: or things that might actually save you money.
Speaker 2: For example, you might go and buy.
Speaker 3: A slow cooker in the sales because you know that's
Speaker 3: going to help you cook in bulk and save money
Speaker 3: on you know, takeaways and home delivery. So be strategic,
Speaker 3: but by what you need, not for just Christmas, but
Speaker 3: beyond so you can create some savings throughout the year.
Speaker 1: Can Is there anything we've got to be on the
Speaker 1: lookout for, for example, like I've heard price gouging is
Speaker 1: happening a lot at the moment where companies will sort
Speaker 1: of put the prices up just before Black Friday, so
Speaker 1: then when they put the prices down it looks like
Speaker 1: a huge discuss.
Speaker 4: I would get sucked into that for sure.
Speaker 3: Yes, I've seen a lot of that myself as well.
Speaker 3: The key here is to do your research, So just
Speaker 3: hold off on those impulse buys, but take a moment
Speaker 3: and literally down now and he takes a couple of seconds,
Speaker 3: so you can There's a couple of different ways of
Speaker 3: checking prices, such as like you know a free app
Speaker 3: called zift where literally you can enter in the product.
Speaker 3: It's an extension on your phone and or a desktop,
Speaker 3: and it will actually let you know where you can
Speaker 3: and that same item or some items cheaper.
Speaker 4: So what are some of the stores that are doing
Speaker 4: big discounts for Black Friday?
Speaker 3: If I look at my inbox this morning, I'm sort
Speaker 3: of overwhelmed by Basically, I feel like the whole entire
Speaker 3: world is on sale at the moment. So all they've
Speaker 3: already been on sale, and they've already cleared all their stock,
Speaker 3: so pretty much everything is on that you do all
Speaker 3: white goods. Clothing obviously is heavily discounted. Now, kids toys obviously,
Speaker 3: pretty much. Marketing gurus know exactly how we're going to
Speaker 3: spend and they're creating the sales, so obviously get us
Speaker 3: to jump on board and clear out our bank accounts.
Speaker 1: Ken can I ask, how does this a Black Friday
Speaker 1: sale relate to like Boxing Day?
Speaker 4: How does it compare?
Speaker 1: You know, is this the big savings now or we're
Speaker 1: better holding out we don't need the items straight away.
Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that.
Speaker 3: So there's actually a sale on average throughout the year
Speaker 3: every three point two five weeks.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: So yes, Black Friday is exciting, you know, and it's
Speaker 3: celebrated obviously you know, originated from America, but it's celebrated
Speaker 3: obviously around the world. Everyone is doing this, but there
Speaker 3: is a sale on every three point two five weeks,
Speaker 3: so don't think this is your one and only opportunity
Speaker 3: to nab a bargain the whole type. Then yep, you'll
Speaker 3: see Christmas sales, You'll see Boxing Day sales, You'll see
Speaker 3: back to school sales, You'll see Valentine sales, You'll see
Speaker 3: Mother's Day.
Speaker 2: Saye, yeah, right, it's fine day.
Speaker 3: You know Amazon big deal days like they are at
Speaker 3: end of financial year sales like it is literally NonStop,
Speaker 3: so like, don't panic.
Speaker 2: It will be on sale. And if it means you
Speaker 2: save up a.
Speaker 3: Bit more, you're in a more secure financial position by
Speaker 3: holding off or not jumping and going nuts in this sale,
Speaker 3: then that is a great move.
Speaker 1: I'm such a suck if I don't need the twelve.
Speaker 4: Paus like Laurent. If one more package comes to this front,
Speaker 4: oh I am going to move house.
Speaker 1: Can I just do a PSA? And I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: stereotyping ladies. You need to crush the box before you
Speaker 1: put them.
Speaker 4: In the No, no, oh no, I don't put it
Speaker 4: in the bin. I put in the box corner. Don't
