As Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas aren’t far away, Martin Lewis will be giving viewers guidance on how to be as frugal as possible during the festive season. While it might be a time of celebration, it’s also a time of big spending.

As such, Lewis will be directly addressing the ‘Black Friday Warning’ to Christmas shoppers. He wants consumers to realise that not all Black Friday deals are the bargains that they may appear to be and how the day encourages aggressive spending.

Lewis took to Twitter to give further guidance to shoppers on Black Friday. He wrote: "My Black Friday shopping memo… If you were going to buy it anyway and it’s half price, you’ve saved 50%. If you weren’t going to buy it, but do because it’s half price you’ve wasted 100%."
