Londoners most likely to splash out on Black Friday deals spending equivalent of trip to Amsterdam
Shoppers are predicted to spend an average of £214 in the Black Friday sales this year, which could bag you return flights to Amsterdam. A poll of 2,030 adults found four in 10 plan to get involved in the annual sales bonanza, with men outspending women by nearly £80 (£247.49 to £172.70). Londoners are the most willing to splash the cash (£297.20), while those living in Wales are the most reserved at £113.45. Those aged 45 to 54 are set to spend the most (£236.68), while the 65 and overs will spend the least at £155.28. Half of those polled think Black Friday is overhyped and 30 per cent reckon it's a bogus American import. Despite this, a quarter (26 per cent) think it’s a great time to buy for Christmas and is a great money-saving opportunity (21 per cent).
