EXPIRED John Lewis clearance bargains

Starts mid-June.

Has anyone found any incredible bargains in the past? I'm interested in electronics, particularly Apple devices.

IMO unless you are after a particular product they so happen to use as a loss leader, it's a fairly average clearance with most things being still above the norm for what you can get from other places (eg cutlery, duvets, beauty, clothing...etc). It's luck of the draw really because yes there are bargains, but they are very few and far between and they usually go fast, so unless you know what you are looking for and know the discount is a decent one, it's an OK sale but not amazing and things can be found cheaper elsewhere. Yes you get better quality and customer service, but it depends what's a bigger issue for you; your bank balance or a day out/afternoon at a keyboard in the mad rush of a sale.


Works both ways though, if you know what your looking for it's likely that you had an interest in the first place which means you are less likely to buy something just because it's on offer and more likely to buy what you previously had been looking to purchase.


Just wish they reduced their homeware more!

^^ As I suspected, all mouth and no trousers. Thanks for saving me the effort of looking!

John Lewis clearance is fab- if you like JL products. It is a real sale- the discontinued goods get continually discounted until they get to about 80% off. Amazing bargains usually- but it goes on line well before the advertised time. Lots of branded goods but very limited supplies. Winter sale is much better than summer. 50% off isn't unusual at the start but limited stocks. The also have a lot of sale special buys-often basics- which I avoid unless they end up further reduced.

For apple etc the best time is black friday- JL price match as well and often have a 3 year warranty.

I was seriously disappointed in Black Friday last year - although ironically I still bought a new iPad at Waitrose and iPhone at JL on that date.

I LOVE the JL sale - have found some amazing bargains in previous years.
Looking forward to seeing what's on offer this time - fingers crossed for bedding and towels ��
