Yasmin: Hey, everyone! Black Friday is almost here. I can finally buy the iPhone I wanted.

Ester: That’s cool! But do you think you will be able to find it cheaper than online?

Miguel: We could check both, online and in stores. That way we would be sure about the best deal.

Nicolas: Yeah, but sometimes websites can crash because too many people are buying at the same time.

Vinicius: True! Last year I wasn’t able to finish my order because the page froze.

Issac: Oh, I know that feeling. I would never wait until the last minute again.

Yasmin: So maybe we could go shopping early in the morning.

Ester: That might work. We can also make a list, so we don’t waste time.

Miguel: Good idea! And we would spend less if we focus only on what we really need.

Nicolas: Yeah, but you know me… I can never resist discounts on video games.

Vinicius: Haha, same here! But this year I hope I will be able to control myself.

Issac: Don’t worry, guys. We could help each other stay on budget
