I'll be keeping an eye on this thread when it gets going as I'm after a laptop, hopefully get a decent deal in the sale.

Asda release they're offers Wednesday and go on sale Friday 8am. Apple are expected to offer discounts again with possibly slighter lower discounts than last year if it follows the U.S. offers.

What kind of discounts are we talking on Apple items?

Usually just a few %, don't get too excited!

Depends what it is on. I had what I thought was a good deal on an iPad Air but the iMac was not a good offer.

This was the 2013 savings:

iPad Air: Save £31 to £61
iPad mini: Save £15 on nonRetina models, no discount on Retina models
iPad 2: Save £25
iPod touch: Save £25
iPod nano: Save £11
MacBook Air: Save £81
MacBook Pro: Save £81 on both Retina and nonRetina models
iMac: Save £81
Apple TV: Save £15
AirPort Extreme: Save £15
AirPort Time Capsule: Save £25

However most of the world Apple give your iTunes gift cards. In America they have reduced the amount this year so I if Apple Europe go along the same line of offering a discount instead of iTunes card I would also expect a reduction in savings.

Make sure to check your prices before jumping into any 'deals', I've noticed items in the upcoming section having a lower RRP than when they go up in the sale.

There's a Canon 7D body upcoming at 3pm, the RRP is £699. When this was in the sale over the weekend they had the RRP as £999.99 and the sale price was £699!

I've been holding off buying a new iphone to see if there's any deals to be had on this weekend. Looks like I might be disappointed

Well it's the best deal you'll get on an iPhone all year.

Dislike. This is an American thing because of thanksgiving. Why is it over here now?

Large number of US based companies taking advantage... Amazon, Apple...

Actually it's to do with the day generally being considered the day that most companies go into profit. But yes it is an Americanism that I welcome over here.

It's a great way of companies getting rid of old stock very quickly whilst still making a smaller profit. And for us as the consumer it means we can pickup something we want for a good reduction.

The only thing to dislike about it is that it makes us buy stuff we may not really need.

I'm on the look out for a new phone for my daughter's Christmas.

She'd prefer an iPhone but I was thinking more of the Sony Z3 compact. I already see good deals at £335.

I'd be interested in any good phone deals.

Fail to see the issue with us getting a sale pre-Christmas! Helps with some of the gift buying! Who cares for the reasons why/how it is being extended to the UK...

It's the upside to having to put up with the 'lil ones extorting sweets and treats on Oct 31st.

I've just bought 43 boxes of face wipes and 12 spatulas for £64.

I thought it was so named due to traffic chaos?

Mum wants a Kindle.

The last generation 16BG Kindle Fire HDX is £99 on Amazon at the moment. (Have to pay an extra tenner for an advert free one though!)

This seems an ok price?
