Black Friday deals

I have bought birthday gifts for my DGD who will be 3 in March and for my 2 x GGCs who will both be 1yr old in May
I bought really good gifts which I would not have considered due to the price from Mothercare yesterday.
Very pleased with myself.

I have just ordered DGDs' Christmas presents from an online retailer, (*m*z**) and when I got the order confirmations they were quite a bit cheaper than the price stated on the site, so yes, I have got bargains.
Can't think of anything else I need!

I have just seen a cordless vacuum which people have spoken about very recently on Gransnet. I have one myself actually and love it. It's on it on the very big warehouse we all now buy from online at a very good price. It's worth looking at if you are thinking of purchasing a cordless vacuum.

Newsletter? What is this please?

My friend loves Emma Bridgewater so I've bought her a jug from John Lewis (20% off in the Black Friday sale). The problem I have is that I always find plenty for myself in these sales and really have to hold back or I'll spend a fortune. Still looking for something for my grandsons for Christmas so if anyone sees anything good for a 4 and 8 year old please let me know!

Just done all our Christmas shopping through Amazon wish lists and saved money this week.

My husband bought a Miele vacuum cleaner from John Lewis which was marked down over £50, I think. I'm trying to be excited about such a purchase but so far that feeling has eluded me. He's quite pleased with it though, so that's all that matters

I don't doubt some bargains are available but watching the TV ads I try to read the tiny notices at the bottom which most of the time say the item was only sold at the higher price between certain dates (usually about 3/4 weeks) so is it really a bargain?

I've been keeping an eye out for a new tv and soundbar for my son as his has recently given up. I know the price to pay and was very happy with my purchase from Amazon. I'm not paying, he is but he's out of the country until next month and asked me to do it before he left. I spoke to him earlier and he's chuffed to bits and now wants me to keep an eye out for a laptop. There's nothing I want or need so I won't be buying anything for myself.

Amazon has the Gtech cordless and bagless for £149. I have one and I love it - good deal.

I have stocked up on Clinique products at Lookfantastic with 25% off and greatly reduced Ecco hiking boots at Amazon which I have had my eye on for some time, also got 30% off a dress at Boden.

Brunette10 Thank you for the info on Gtech. I was looking to buy one of these.

I have bought several black Friday deals, but only because it is a time of year for internet shopping. The deals are no better than the early in the week Black Friday deals, the early November Black Friday deals, the pre and post Cyber Monday deals, the summer sales, or actually the ordinary regular discounted prices. Who remembers the days of January sales that didn't start on Boxing Day, July sales that didn't last til September, where you had to go to the shop and get the stuff, possibly queueing or rummaging, and that was all there was!

I bought a robot lawnmower on Amazon last year and I would say it is one of the best things I have ever bought. I didn't really realise I wanted it until I got it and now I wouldn't be without it.
There is nothing this year I need and none of the presents I need to buy are on offer.

I keep a note of my 'possible' purchases with regular price and then do the deed if the reduction is a good one. I have found even better deals immediately after the BF frenzy has finished. I guess it all depends how desperately we want a particular item.

I had booked a hotel for the end of January...…………… then a Black Friday deal appeared yesterday and I have re-booked for a grand 50% saving.

We have been saving up for an American style fridge freezer and had narrowed down to two models. Only to find Currys put up the price of one by £300 on Wednesday...and the other is out of stock indefinitely. So no bargains found here

I bought a dress in Monsoon last week, it's for a special occasion and I really wanted it. I received an email yesterday saying there was 25% off all dresses. I took the dress back, I hadn't taken any of the labels off, and they refunded me the 25% discount, result !!!
I also bought myself an Echo Dot from Amazon at 50% off.

Scarfgran, my 8 yr old DGD is into slime and putty and I found a National Geographic box of it on Amazon, I expect the 4 yr old would like it as well; it is round about £25 I think.

I went to the shops yesterday and got 20% off in John Lewis, Debenhams and The White Company. I think they seem to have extended Black Friday a couple of days either side ??
