lol @ flying jacket for the dog!

ratbagcatbag - I'm on a laptop. Where it shows the "Black Friday lightning deals" there is a drop down arrow thing saying category. Maybe it's different on the phone?

73% off wellies - a good discount but not interested. And a wallet that doesnt seem to be discounted at all!

Must step away from Amazon!

Ok am
I right in thinking some stuff in the 75% off categories you can just buy, buts it's the lightening deals where you have to be quick? Like the look of the cat maze but I can add it to the basket now at £13, however if I wait until 2:15 and I'm fast I will get it at whatever discount price it's on offer at?

Ratbag yes, at 2.15 it'll be cheaper, but if you add it now it'll still be £13.

Yay, first Black Friday buy! Not very exciting but I got the floor standing reading lamp. Have been talking about getting one for a while so have just gone for it at the discount price. Does anyone know if you have the same rights of return on Black Friday items?

In America, after thanks giving, they have sales like our boxing day/new years sales. It just kind of caught on from that I think.

Think they lie fudge the stats half the time - just tried to join waitlist for the ps3 out of boredom to see how long the wait time was and it gave me the deal instantly.

TurquiseCat lol I saw that too! As bad as the oven glove suggestion in the Sainsburys gift guide under "for her"....in fact, they had 2!
