Are Black Friday deals getting worse in the UK? Curious how you all spot the real savings.

I’ve been trying to plan ahead for Black Friday, but it feels like more and more “deals” aren’t actually cheaper than earlier in the year. While comparing past UK discounts, I ended up reading through the Black Friday breakdown on MyFavouriteVoucherCodes just to see how retailers usually behave.

It made me realise how hard it is to separate genuine reductions from clever marketing. How do you all approach Black Friday these days while staying frugal? Do you still bother with it, or has it lost its value?
