    I'm completely fed up of seeing and hearing of black Friday.
    Just a big con.

    Some things are actually a bargain, if you need them anyway.  But a lot of them are just Amazons own products e.g. 4k max firestick reduced from £50 something to £20 something.  All the rest, if you look at an Amazon historical price checker, have been just as cheap at other times of the year.  The age-old practice of advertising them at a silly price for 3 months so you can claim they are now "reduced" is still going strong

    Kind of.  I got an email from Greater Anglia Rail offering me 20% off rail fare to London.  As I am going to London next month to watch Paddington Musical, stay in Watford, and go to the Warner Bro Studio Tour.  I took advantage of it for that.  I saved £10.80 on my train into London.

    Bought 4 bottles of Redex DPF Cleaner @ £4.50 each RRP £12 each (63%) saving. Which I needed anyway, now I'm covered for the next year until next Black Friday  :smiley:
