I've done alright and gotten everything i needed i think

Got myself a blender and soup maker which was cool! £30, Asda

What have you bought that youre pleased with?

What have been some deals that have made you tap into your inner Martin Lewis and say 'youre having a laugh hun'

Have you had to rein in your excitement like I have 😭

Not really. I’ve had my eye on quite a bit, but have noticed the prices have been massively hiked up so the huge reduction is actually only a few quid less than it was a couple of weeks ago, and it will probably drop to a Lower price during a non sale period.

Plenty of retailers have much lesser discounts than normal so I haven't gone mad but I did buy a Regatta Orla Kiely changing robe which was about 70% off.

I bought boots which I was planning on buying anyway, and they were 25% off which this company never does on these particular boots as they are a core line. Really chuffed

Brought bits and pieces including a bread maker (for me) , but all the main stores had same price . Still, nearly £40 off is pleasing.

Hollister had buy one, get second half price on sale items so picked a few things up there.

I noticed the Miele hoover bags in my amazon shopping basket had a 20% mark down due to black friday! Bought them instead of waiting for pay day next week

mumofoneAloneandwell · 22/11/2025 18:38

If anyone's interested, kitchen aids have massive discounts 🤷‍♀️

Got myself one from qvc thanks to another thread - havent opened it yet though

Amazon have discounts on their kids tablets - 45% off which is lower than ive seen it

Agree re price gouging tbh, the discounts arent always the best

There are some bargains to be had though 👀

Bought myself a new tablet which was a reasonable deal. Needed one anyway though and was price watching over last couple of months.

And, bought a new kettle, nothing fancy and needed one.

New TV.

Now connected up and noticing massive amounts of detail in images and sound that wasn't detectable at 720p.

If you are buying from Amazon it's a great idea to use CamelCamelCamel or similar to check the price history. Many of the Black Friday deals are total bollocks. I have a browser extension which is invaluable.

I bought a pair of Fly London chunky Chelsea boots. I already own a pair and love them. Paid £90 for them last year, reduced from £130. This time I paid £43. Happy days!

I got the blue and used the 10% off code at the top of the page.

Thank you. I thought it would be £30! Wink

This is also a win.

Sadly, I didn’t sock it to the man, but I did buy reduced socks Blush

IwishIhadcheese · 22/11/2025 19:39

I’ve done well as in haven’t spent a thing.

AhBiscuits · 22/11/2025 19:42

I've just bought a bike for DD for Christmas which was a good deal.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 22/11/2025 19:42

I also got a shark portable vacuum

I have bought a tonies character from Amazon which has saved me about £3.

Good for you.

I think replacing a TV after 20 years at the replacement's lowest price point (I check this stuff) before the original died or went bang wasn't doing too badly, either.

I've bought a couple of small things from Amazon (I checked camelcamelcamel) but mostly I wanted to express appreciation for the nailed it gif. I miss that show!
