    Amazon has been a bit of a joke, best deal is the smart toothbrush really. Unless you want dog food and pet carriers that is!

    Not quite, I got a body alarm clock £ 25 off . The kindle I had my eye on for weeks was another £ 15 off (bought elsewhere for the same off)

    I love scented candles but couldn't justify spending that much for something that is literally burning money!

    I don't normally buy anything when it comes to Black Friday.

    But I have got a lovely Yankee Candle House gift set filled with 12 Votives (some new season) for £24.99 with a free Medium Jar Candle plus free delivery.

    Also got 1/2 price Greensmoke vaping starter kit with 49% off. Was £84 ish to £42 ish (can't remember the pence bit)

    I was really pleased with both of them because I have been wanting to get both for a while especially the candles because I always treat us to some for Christmas. I have tried the cheaper Village candles but they really are not as goon in my opinion.


    Where did you get this please?
  • A sticker on the back of a burger van read "Curry & rice and a drink, Black Friday deal £3. How could I resist👍
  • Did anybody else try and get the £1 Daisy Dixon Watch??

    It was going on offer between 1pm-2pm, so I went to have a general mooch on their website at 9am, and it just kept coming up with internal server errors. Funnily enough though I managed to get on at 2.30pm when it was back up to £30.
  • Amazon's offering was shocking yesterday, Having watched loads of decent deals all week on Amazon they let themselves down big time.

  • Alas, Mountain Warehouse almost always has 50% off most items in the store / on the website. I guess they were previously on sale at the full price for a sufficient length of time. I find Mountain Warehouse's 50% off misleading. And, yes, I find similar claims from other stores misleading too.

    I wish the stores would bring back the old days - genuine sales twice per year - and charge fair prices the rest of the year.
    i find amazon rubbish for gifts under £10 now, better off on ebay with free postage. tried to order £20 worth but because gift were from different shops there was more postage.

    did spot one good lightening deal for crafers and that was a cuttlebug for £39 - this are £60 and thus a good deal. You pay this for a second hand one.

    I got a Nespresso machine with aeroccino for £79.95 which is the cheapest I've ever seen it and we've wanted one for a while. We've also claimed £75 worth of Nespresso vouchers for buying it :T

    Enjoy!

    We got that Black Friday 2014 - John Lewis purchase. Just used the last of the vouchers actually.

    Debenhams were selling just the Nespresso machine for £63 with a voucher code on Friday just gone. Might be live still if anyone fancies.
