Black Friday deals

Chizz

What deals are tempting you? What have you been looking forward to saving money on? Have you found any stunning bargains at Amazon, eBay, Currys, John Lewis, Fortnum & Mason, the club shop, and so on and so forth?

What's it all about? Is everyone allowed to join in? Why can't we have White Friday deals? I thought Thanksgiving was on 4 July. etc etc...

Over to you, bargain hunters.

I wanted the ring Security floodlight cam for my garden. £250 normally. I've waited a few weeks for black Friday then by chance see it was down to £169 with a free Alexa show on Tuesday. Anyway, thought that was decent price so went with as couldn't see it being much cheaper on black Friday.

Black Friday started last night, thought I'd check, back up to £250

I got one when I joined Vitality recently.  Got nothing to compare it to. Never really wore a watch before let alone tracked my fitness.

The watch, combined with Vitality though has made me focus on fitness for the first time in ages though and it is handy not to have to pull your phone out all of the time.

Would I pay £350+ for it? No chance but if I can keep up my running, steps etc. then I'm cool with my £99 outlay.

Isn't Black Friday next week? As next Thursday is Thanks Giving.

Officially yes.
But shops do what they like and need more than a day to entice everyone with those amazing bargains, many of which are no different to the rest of the year.

I've heard a couple of radio ads mentioning 'Black November'

I was looking at these a few weeks back, and have to say this is a great deal. I've purchased today.

Am interested in this but how does it work, do the bulbs just go into your original lamps, connect the box to wifi then control through remote?

Pretty much, you'll be able to control the Lamps via the Hue app on your phone too - Plus set schedules for lights to come on in the morning or turn off at night

If you've got something like Alexa etc. you can also use voice control to activate the lighting

Or you could just flick a switch ;-)

Just bought a Panasonic 49 inch telly from John Lewis for £349 with free delivery and a 5 year warranty. Not earth shattering but pretty good. There’s a hitachi 50 inch in Argos for £249 down from £389 but the five year warranty swung it together with the fact that we’ve had Panasonic tellies for years with no issues.

Black Friday is pretty stupid but I was planning to buy a couple of golf clubs in January, they're on sale now though so why not? There's freshly released stuff on offer.

 That'll also help keep me clear of any fights over Polaroid TVs in Asda.

Huskaris

Considering getting a 65 inch TV with ambilight (ambilight is amazing). Just £600 on Amazon at the moment.

Also, I recommend everyone to use 

https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/

It shows a graph with all the historic Amazon prices. So you can see if you are actually getting a good deal!

I honestly thought black history month was about Sol Campbell’s managerial career.

If you have got amazon prime it is ok. 

But then if you have got virgin tv you can access amazon tv on channel 205

Honest question - how do you use fire stick and prime together ? Is there an app on it with loads of TV? Like what?

Actually - not flicking the switch is the hardest thing about using them. 

I have Hue bulbs in every room. They’re great.

Same. I would recommend. Although it has made me lazier. Turning lights on and off on an app or by asking Alexa to do it is incredibly lazy. 

The Phillips lights also link into Hive. So I have lights and heating all in one app.
