Should you skip Black Friday for 'Buy Nowt Day'?

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

On Black Friday - a sales bonanza which has sometimes seen customers physically fight over bargains - community groups in Yorkshire, in the north of England, have created "Buy Nowt Day". Last year, British shoppers splurged almost £8 billion online alone; "Buy Nowt Day" is aimed at helping people avoid the temptation to rack up debt. Ian Brewer, Bradford Credit Union's financial inclusion officer, explains what the new event involves. (Photo: Black Friday sales in São Paulo. Credit: Reuters)
