    Tesco and Asda have revealed which products they're selling on Friday but without prices.

    Asda are revealing their prices on Thursday and having a further sale on Saturday (again revealing prices two days before on Friday).

    How do you know if it is actual good deal in store without researching online?

    For example, a camara can say £200 reduced from £500. But unless you check what the price is on amazon and other places, you don't know if it is less elsewhere and they are just trying to shift it.

    I noticed PC World often start at an inflated price and say 30% off to being it closer to the real price. However that simply brings it in line for what it is worth if you buy it online...

    Seems a bit scammy..

    Because people just need to be told its a SALE & they turn into animals.

    IT IS A SCAM!

    The way they're behaving you would think the stuff was free, absolute chaos.

    The only way I will be going to the store is if I know they have exactly what at I want at the right price that can't be purchased online.

    No-name branded TVs for those who aspire to have 50" TVs on their walls but want to be £150 instead of £800 for a Sony or Panasonic!

    Which will be returned within days cos they're shite!

    I've got my Sun and Daily Mail at the ready to whack people in the face should they try and steal any of my items. I've also not shaved today so i look tough, no one will mess with me. What's that word the English use when they fight? The gobsmack? That's what I'll be doing later if it kicks off. I'll be doing some gobsmacking.

    It's pathetic. Why we should try to emulate this is beyond me.

    Don't expect rapid despatch and delivery this week from Amazon and their couriers, they can't cope. That much is obvious from my two dealings with them so far. Isn't a problem for me and I expected it, worth a mention though I think.

    Check and test thoroughly everything that's delicate when it arrives too, as I am sure stuff will be getting chucked around much more than usual this week.

    2 days for my xbox to come, and one day for jewellery (both "black Friday" deals ), purchased on Tuesday evening.

    It's going to vary and most will arrive OK but there will be more delays than usual. One extra day on one item (and counting but at least they emailed me to say so) and the other I ordered has been "preparing for despatch" for over 48 hours now. Both ordered on Tuesday. December will be worse as the month wears on... as always.

    I complained to Amazon a couple of weeks ago and they extended my Prime membership by a month and again a couple of days ago regarding a late delivery and they gave me a £5 voucher, I wonder what they'll do if I get another late delivery in the day's to come and I complain?

    I'm expecting Super Smash Brothers to be delivered tomorrow from Amazon since its the game's release date. Hope Black Friday doesn't delay it.
