Page 1 of Black Friday 2015 coming soon

time to moan about

a) not getting something you didn't really want/need but it had a few quid off
b) not being lucky enough to get something you did want/need ;)

Amazon may reduced the chances of point b from happening (but I doubt it)....

Amazon’s Ingenious Scheme to Undermine Black Friday

http://www.wired.com/2015/11/amazons-ingenious-scheme-to-undermine-black-friday

Quote:
DEPENDING UPON YOUR outlook, Black Friday is either a time-honored US shopping holiday or the miserable nadir of American consumer culture.
Quote:
Plus, Amazon is giving mobile shopping a huge boost. The company says it will offer a slew of app-only deals and two-hour delivery on certain items through the holiday. Customers can mark the deals they’re most excited about using a feature called “Watch a Deal,” which pushes a notification to their smartphones once the offer is live.
don't know if that's US only.

interesting that the article mentions sales using mobile devices go up in this quarter. I wonder how much of that is that not all ppl in offices can have amazon on their screen all day and hit refresh, but they can sneak off for a fag/go tot he loo to do some shopping ;)

Feel free to to post real deals in this thread now :)

Currently the same price on Amazon too, one of the Deal of the Day items.

Don't think my PSU could have exploded at a more fortituitous time

Writer`s Release

I'm spamming F5 on Amazon's deal page in the hope that they'll have some sub-£100 Corsair K70 keyboards.

They've had Strafes, Blackwidows and now Logitech G910s, but no K70s :(

Sadly, I can't partake in pretty much anything this year (not that I'd wish to sink to such levels). Apart from the lack of PC-ness, the powers that be have decided to block the following sites over this weekend:

www.tesco.com
www.uaeexchange.com
www.amazon.co.uk
www.amazon.com
www.tesco.co.uk
www.game.co.uk
www.game.com

However, both Scan and Novatech aren't on the list, so I'll be as right as rain!

a few ppl here have been excited by ssd deals at amazon and novatech but so far nothing to report.

I could do with some new bedding, the girls will need proper matresses soon for the bunk beds we were given for them so my bargain hunting isn't v exciting :(

EE have got what I'm assuming is a v basic Android phone (Alcatel Pixi 3)"free" if you top up £20. The missus' phone is pre android so that's tempting.

also, our hand held vacuum cleaner is playing up so i'm tempted by the £99 dyson one I saw at hukd but that's about it!

I bought a bottle of Glenmorangie whisky in Co -Op today £23, I think that was run up to Christmas alcohol promo all supermarkets are doing rather than Black Friday/Black weekend whatever though ;)

I was doing the normal grocery shopping in Tesco yesterday, as you go in the store there was a couple of pallets with I think Digihome LCD Tvs "1/2  price", not sure what size, while going round the fruit and veg section I noticed the pallet of 32" Blaunpunkt dwindle in stock, they were £100, whiel doing my shopping could see them teetering on various trollies while ppl did their regular shop.
