Tomorrow is Black Friday – will you be shopping?

The post-Thanksgiving shopping tradition has made its way to Ireland in recent years.

TODAY IS THANKSGIVING in the US, and while it’s not widely celebrated on this side of the Atlantic, one tradition that has crossed over is Black Friday.

What was once a standalone day of sales has gradually stretched into a week-long stint of deals, with many shops launching their discounts early.

A recent survey from iReach estimates that 2 in 3 adults have plans for some Black Friday shopping. It adds that total spending is expected to reach €422m – down €36m from last year.

So, we want to turn the question to you: Will you be shopping on Black Friday?
