Shop local to avoid ‘Black Friday’ rip-off – The Yorkshire Post says

This comes after the prices of more than 200 popular home and tech products were tracked over the course of 12 months. Nearly nine in 10 could be found at the same price or cheaper earlier in the year.

And the answer is a simple one. Show loyalty to those traditional high street stores across Yorkshire who offer both value for money – and outstanding customer service – that is superior to most ‘Black Friday’ offers.

Even though many stores are not permitted to reopen their doors until next week, the more entrepreneurial are still taking orders by telephone or, like The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley by way of example, have set up their own click and collect online service.

As such, our advice is both straightforward and familiar – shop local to reap the rewards.
