Lewis took to Twitter to give further guidance to shoppers on Black Friday. He wrote: "My Black Friday shopping memo… If you were going to buy it anyway and it’s half price, you’ve saved 50%. If you weren’t going to buy it, but do because it’s half price you’ve wasted 100%."
Black Friday weekend is one of the biggest spending periods for people in the UK. In 2022, Statista estimates that people in the UK will spend a total over £8.7 billion over the weekend.
This week’s special episode of The Martin Lewis Money Show will be broadcast live from two locations. Spanning the north and south of the country, it will be filmed in both Blackpool and Battersea.
