Unless you have something specific you want, I'd advise not to spend money just for the sake of it, even for perceived savings from deals. That's part of the trick with Black Friday deals - marking things down to get people to buy things they wouldn't even think to get in the first place.
Some wisdom I remember reading a while ago: if you're looking at something that is 75% off, just remember you can save 100% by not buying it.
