You can’t miss it – Black Friday is everywhere.
In the United States, where it all began, Black Friday refers to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season there.
Here in Aotearoa we have latched on to it as another season of sales and a sharp opportunity to save as we start ticking off the names on our ‘nice’ list.
