Black Friday is a phenomena that has been recently imported to Ireland from the USA. Obviously we don't celebrate Thanksgiving so we never did the big rush to start Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving.
Some of the shops I visited were offering some Black Friday specials.
Starbucks had a special where you topped up your card by €20 and received a free drink. I was delighted to have my Grande Extra Shot Cafe Mocha con Pana on the house!
In Supervalu, Baileys was on special at €12 a bottle on Friday only. So I bought a bottle of that for over Christmas. I love a Baileys Coffee on cold days!
They also had 18 cans of Coke Zero for €5. I only bought 1 stack because they were heavy to carry to the car. Wish I had got a trolley and I would have bought a few more.
I also bought a rake of candy canes (not a Black Friday special but very cheap at €1.50 a box) and a pair of lovely soft pyjamas to chill out in over Christmas (I'm planning lots of Duvet Days indulging in Netflix and catching up on some of the mountain of books that I have been attempting to get through).
So that was the extent of my Black Friday here in Ireland. How did you get on readers? Did you find any bargains?!
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!
Where'd u buy ur pyjamas from?
