The best Black Friday deals - what will brands offer us?

Black Friday. You've heard this phrase many times and it's very possible that you know exactly what will happen on the last weekend of November. It's on November 29 that the great shopping frenzy will begin, the aisles of shopping malls all over Poland will be filled with crowds of customers hunting for the best deals, and the servers of online stores will heat up to red hot. Black Friday, or Black Friday, is gaining increasing popularity in Poland. Economists estimate that this year we will break our previous record for participation in the Black Friday madness and spend, a trifle, PLN 2.3 billion - or about PLN 382 per average consumer.

Where did Black Friday come from?

Black Friday originated in the United States. Traditionally, it is the Friday after Thanksgiving, which annually begins the period of great, pre-holiday shopping. This shopping tradition dates back to the mid-20th century in the United States, when local shops and large department stores sponsored large parades on the occasion of Thanksgiving. Over time, these parades began to be treated as the beginning of an intensive shopping period, which of course ended just before Christmas. The name "Black Friday" was first used by the Philadelphia Police Department to describe the chaos that reigned on that day in the streets, in front of most stores. Black Friday is sometimes called a holiday of consumerism and materialism. It is true that we spend a lot of money on that day, often unconsciously encouraged to do so by the omnipresent information about extremely attractive promotions. How can you not take advantage of them! However, it is worth approaching Black Friday with a great distance and experiencing it... consciously. Hunt for things that will actually be useful to you. And for things that will make your loved ones happy. We'll show you how to do it.

Black Friday - how to use it wisely?

Almost every brand offers its own attractive promotion on Black Friday. You don't have to use every single one of them by force. It's physically impossible and will only cause you unnecessary frustration. Focus on defining the area (or areas) of your life in which you have a real need and fulfill it. Do you dream of a beautiful, woolen coat? Check out the promotions of clothing brands. Do you need new, comfortable running shoes? Visit online sports stores. Or maybe you've been hunting for a cheaper flight to Thailand for a long time? Keep an eye on the promotions offered by popular flight search engines.
