Listen: Bola Sol gives finance tips ahead of Black Friday

Black Friday shoppers are gearing up to splurge an average of £240 on themselves, despite the day traditionally being all about Christmas gift-buying.

According to the new research from Rakuten, 51% are planning to make the most of the sales this year, and of those, 70% are doing it to treat themselves.

A quarter (24%) said they’re more likely to indulge in a spot of self-gifting when prices are slashed, as they feel less guilty when there’s a discount involved.

Aston spoke to finance expert Bola Sol.
