Hi all...

Looking at buying some new kit for the house this time round, Sonos, alexa and tv's are on the list (plus anything else that seems too cheap to ignore!)

i've done well in the past, Free 43" UHD smart tv signing up for sky, 2 x play:1's for £139 each etc so keen to replicate this year.

I understand we are around a month away but if we could share deals and links here that'd be great!

Any whispers ?

Probably the same as every year.....ie nothing worth having will be discounted and they'll sell off old stock that no one wants at slightly less than normal in the frenzy black Friday seems to cause, where people simply MUST buy something in order to feel they've had a 'bargain' that they can tell all their mates about.

the play 1's were a great saving for me, 2x play:1's when they were £179 each - getting them for under £300 for 2 was amazing!

Perhaps BND would suit you better?

My telly went on the blink the other day, kept restarting when watching terrestrial TV, though fine watching Netflix, Amazon, iPlayer, etc. Guessed it was the tuner on the fritz. Decided to hold off until Black Friday to replace it - and miraculously it's working fine again now. smile
If Black Friday wasn't around the corner, I'd've popped into Richer Sounds and bought one immediately - so in a way Black Friday has 'saved' me a new TV.

This year, Amazon has taken Black Friday to a whole new level, offering massive discounts from mid-November until the end of November. Find the biggest bargains on almost any item you can think of, including games consoles, TVs and laptops. The offers are changing frequently, so be sure to snap up that deal before it is gone!
Hopefully a chance to get a few more echo dots for around the place smile

Echo dots are always massively reduced. They’re the gateway to get you into the amazon universe.

That’s what happened to me anyway. hehe

Have they started putting the current retail prices up yet to make the discount look good?

Hoping to get a deal on an iPhone X on contract.

Got a blinder on my 6 on Black Friday or maybe Cyber Monday (is that still a thing? Was it ever?)

Cyber Monday is nearly as big - as in online retail Monday is the busiest day of the week in terms of sales for many industries.

been looking forward to this year's BF an CM! On the lookout for discounts on robot vacuums and has been constantly checking here for updates. Our home badly needed this, alexa and another smart tv. If i get good deals on these in the next few weeks, I'd probably not shop for a year, lol.

^ Is the correct answer. It will be the usual lemming train of chavs camping outside Tesco Extra stores 3 days in advance so that they can be the first through the doors to fight with all the other chavs over 60 inch Technika tellies that Tesco would have reduced anyway because everyone else knows they're st and get left on the shelves. rolleyes

On the look out for a laptop if the right deal comes up (or a Surface Pro 5). Apart from that I may grab a couple of the TP Link Smart Plugs
