Black Friday means a huge shopping day that’s always the last Friday of November. Black Friday comes originally from the tech industry of the US. Anyhow, those sales are nowadays everywhere, including Finland where I live at the moment.
This year I was at work most Black Friday but when I got home around 9pm I started browsing the web to find out if there still is some good sales left for me. I was trying to find some cosmetics and clothing but to be honest I was too tired to think what kind of tones, etc. I wanted. So, I ended up shopping something easier.
This year I shopped from three stores:
1. From Finnish pet accessory store called ”Peten Koiratarvike” with 55€ ($65)
I bought a lot of staff (my fiancé wasn’t home so I could shop as many cool toys I wanted yeah!). I bought two different toys, plenty of training snacks, some food, Dentasticks, etc. for our pupper.
2. From sports Internet store called Fit4You with 150€ ($170)
I absolutely love gym leggings from American gym clothing brand Better Bodies. Usually those are super expensive (like 99€, $109 per piece) here in Finland but during Black Friday these were 40-50€ per piece so I had to shop two pieces of them. I also bought beige pants because of good sales. These all were in total about the price of one set of leggings, so I’d call this a great offer. Haven’t yet done any outfits with these but I will soon! So, stay tuned! 🙂
3. From Nordic sports chain XXL with 100€ ($115)
Finally I shopped some Nike stuff just before midnight from XXL. They had all Nike items -30%. I really didn’t need anything special but well, I guess I’ll though need those sports bras and socks at some point. Just wanted to shop something haha!
Did you shop anything on Black Friday? What was your best found?
You got some great sales! I unfortunately didn’t get anything but it’s not a big thing in New Zealand unfortunately. Love an excuse for shopping though!

Thanks for your comment, Analesha! In Finland Black Friday use to be not a big thing but during last couple years it has come big here. Probably you guys will have some great sales after Christmas? That’s usually time for sales everywhere. 🙂

Probably they will some year soon! In Finland Black Friday was not a thing until one consumer electronics chain desided to bring it here. It has been a great success from that very first year so probably the other countries will follow. 🙂
