So...do you have your eye on anything that you are hoping will be on offer during Black Friday?
I'm hoping for a Nespresso machine 😎

Saving money by not buying anything

DS has asked for a stupidly overpriced coat for his joint Christmas/birthday present and I’ve waited for the Black Friday sale before buying it - just ordered it today and got £60 off, so a good saving.

i also have my eye on one of those hot airbrush things which have also just gone into a BF deal with £40 off so I plan to treat myself to that.

Next Friday. Although Amazon have started already

Half the world started it a month ago. It's a Black month....

I'm in the UK too, and I'm pretty sure it does exist. I don't love it, but denying its existence won't particularly help.

Don't be so silly. I am also in the U.K. (as lots on here are) and Black Friday is all over everything everywhere. Do you live under a rock?!

TheGoodEnoughWife · 18/11/2022 23:41

Apologies quoted wrong person.

@ColdHandsHotHead - it DOES exist in the U.K. hth.

ColdHandsHotHead · 18/11/2022 21:56

Nothing. I'm in the UK. Black Friday doesn't exist here.

Yes it does there is black Friday sales e everywhere

WiddlinDiddlin · 18/11/2022 23:51

Well I was going to buy a robot vaccum but DP promised to keep the floors clear for a week to demonstrate he actually could, and there would be bare floor for the thing to clean.

He has not kept the floors clear for any significant period for the entire week, so we aren't getting one.

I am however childishly excited that my boss has bought us all bears from Build A Bear as our annual 'you do a good job you lot, thanks' pressie, because of the black friday discounts.

I spotted the £££ Beats by Dre headphones for the same price as the next model down I was originally planning to buy in Currys so someone will be happy to find out they’ve had an upgrade.

OnlyFannys · 19/11/2022 00:00

I've made a wish list on amazon for Christmas and dropped in everything I plan to buy as gifts. If anything drops down significantly I will buy it while it's cheaper. Other than that I'm after a self cleaning cat litter tray for madame fussy whiskers 🙄

Are you shitting me?? I've had 50 emails today alone from retailers saying their Black Friday events have started.

Are you living in a cave??

PinkSyCo · 19/11/2022 00:16

I’m an all year round bargain hunter (as a single mum of 5 I’ve had to be), but don’t think I’ve ever seen a real bargain in the Black Friday sales.

Sheilascarface · 19/11/2022 00:17

I actually got money off something I wanted in a Black Friday sale, a beautiful ring I had been eyeing up for ages.

SenecaFallsRedux · 19/11/2022 00:24

I am after a new Amazon fire tablet. Mine is 5 years old and has begun to be a bit less responsive.

One of my favorite clothing shops has a true Black Friday sale the day after Thanksgiving (I'm in the US) and I have my eye on a new coat.

LBOCS2 · 18/11/2022 21:46

We just bought a new vacuum cleaner from Amazon. We have one, it is rubbish (bought to replace a workhorse Miele which gave up after two house renovations) so we're going back to a Miele. Checked camelcamelcamel - it's the best price it's been since Jan. We're happy with that.

Do you mind my asking which one? Am also after a new Miele, we had one two vacuum cleaners ago but I got sucked into a Dyson animal which gave out after about 3 years. Hightailing it back to Miele!

purpleme12 · 19/11/2022 00:39

Just purchased some unicorn fleecy pyjamas for my child from Debenhams half price with no postage.
I'm very happy with this 🙂

A new Kindle, mine's stopped charging a couple of weeks ago.

PinkFrogss · 19/11/2022 13:53

I’ll be treating myself to a Charlotte tilbury mystery box!

mamabear715 · 19/11/2022 13:53

There's never anything I want on Black Friday, it all seems to be tv's etc.. but then the New Look email plopped into my box & I seem to have ordered two dresses.. :-0

Whereisthehugeteddybear · 19/11/2022 14:00

My list for things I'm hoping to get on black Friday is getting pretty long!
A new phone for me and a refurbished one for DD
garmins for DS and DH
New trainers
Possibly flights for a holiday next year
An office chair (someone broke ours this week)

I've been a bit lazy though as I haven't checked out anything already

Whereisthehugeteddybear · 19/11/2022 14:01

Oh and DH thinks we need a new vacuum cleaner as well. (I think ours is fine and I use it way more often! 🤣)

SquigglePigs · 19/11/2022 14:03

A Kindle. It's my birthday present from DH. My birthday was a few weeks ago but I said we may as well wait and see what Black Friday had to offer. I'm pleased we did - saved £25!

I've also picked up a few bits for DD for Christmas saving about £5 on each item.

Sarahemmabrown · 19/11/2022 14:16

Has anyone seen any good discounts for a robot hoover? I want one but don’t want to spend loads.

Robyn847 · 19/11/2022 14:49

It's not so much products I'm after, but services. I'll be signing up for a new SIM only contract, possibly a new handset, along with new broadband contracts for myself and 2 other family members. We have the arrangement that I save them money and they let me keep any cashback! I'll also be looking for any discounts on Netflix/BritBox/Now or free months etc.

zingally · 19/11/2022 15:02

I'll be looking at Kindles, but I probably won't end up buying anything.

DashboardConfessional · 19/11/2022 15:15

I got some Topshop jeans - already reduced to £32 and then another 25% off.

I don't need anything else!
