Call You and Yours: Black Friday

You and Yours

Available for over a year

In this week's Call You and Yours we're talking about Black Friday sales. Its hard to avoid Black Friday these days with the endless ads and promotions from retailers. But while the noise around the event grows ever louder do people still believe it will guarantee them a bargain? Some analysts predict sales will be down this year while others say spending per head is expected to be higher. There are warnings that many deals don't offer real savings while data suggests, with the cost of living squeeze on finances, people are using the event more than ever to spread the cost of Christmas. Then there's the spike in scams and fake deals. So with so much mixed messaging we want to know, do you really think its worth shopping on Black Friday? What's your experience? Get in touch. Email us now - you and yours @ bbc.co.uk or call us on Tuesday from 11am on 03700 100 444 PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CATHERINE EARLAM
