Has anyone bought a bargain this week? I have booked a half price walking holiday with HF in North Wales for April.

I agree that eBay is great (eBay shops, not secondhand stuff). I bought my Daughter's favourite mascara for £10, it's £20 in the department stores. eBay shops rarely charge postage.

While scoffing at Black Friday as just a marketing stunt, I idly looked at Amazon- then snapped up a big bottle of my favourite perfume at £30 off including p&p. Bargain!

I use a website called camelcamelcamel.com which tracks prices on A****n. Really easy to use to see the price history so you know whether it’s really a bargain. I bought an electric pressure Cooker yesterday with the lowest price for 2 years. I’m a happy bunny!

January sales aren't that far away.

That should read 30%, not 39%. Still a great bargain though. ?

When out shopping yesterday morning I went into Clark’s to look at their 25% Black Friday offer. I found an incredibly comfortable pair of smart trainers and when I went to pay the assistant informed me that there was 39% off before 1 o’clock! I came home very happy with my bargain.

There are always lots of bargains on E-bay all the time dependent on what you're looking for. I got a brand new Estee Lauder sealed perfume for less than half price and various other high-end perfume collections for less than half price too.
Toys for the GGC much cheaper online and no carrying involved. Brilliant.

Ten minutes before midnight and the deadline I bought a dozen books and got 15% off. I bought some new underwear with 25% off which is quite a saving as I can only wear one make of bra.

Earings not earnings

Got presents for grandchildren 25% off at Sainsburys yesterday and earnings cheaper on Not on the high street for daughter. Daughter is getting tele cheaper at John Lewis Also got 3 for 2 toiletries presents for two friends yesterday and bought a pack of body butter free for me, so a little free treat lovely,

Reesian, could also use them in vases to anchor the flower stems. Cheaper than the glass ‘beans’ I use.

Thank you so much - good idea.

No idea why various asterisks were stripped out. Aplologies.

glammagran Fri 23-Nov-18 19:49:09

Last night J**n L** were showing radically different prices for one item depending on whether you used their app or website using browser. ?

I also noticed Aa*o charging 3 times as much for a supermarket item as you could buy in W ****. And charging more from a P** account than if one uses web browser. You have to have your wits about you.

I don't need anything. I only buy things I need when I need them. I hate this crazy hysteria to make you feel you are missing out if you don't buy something because of a day is given a stupid name.

Spanisheyes Fri 23-Nov-18 18:07:39

I ordered one last night fom Dyson for £319, today Currys are selling it for £314.

Scribbles Fri 23-Nov-18 17:37:38

I've just ordered a second Roberts Stream 94i radio from John Lewis. I wanted an additional one to keep in the kitchen and when I saw JL were selling it today for £40 less than I paid 3 months ago, I thought, why not?

M0nica Fri 23-Nov-18 17:08:49

I am quite deliberately buying nothing to day.

Izabella Fri 23-Nov-18 17:06:44

Thank you Laragransnet

callgirl1 Fri 23-Nov-18 17:01:32

I bought an Echo Dot, 2nd generation, for £19,99.

B9exchange Fri 23-Nov-18 16:45:34

Our local Gap outlet has 50% off everything, just for today, does seem to be a genuine reduction. Plus the local mall had free parking all day!

Happysexagenarian Fri 23-Nov-18 16:21:09

Reesian I have used those for drainage in the bottom of plant pots - if that's any help.

Happysexagenarian Fri 23-Nov-18 16:18:51

I was buying a winter coat and found it difficult to choose between two coats in the same store. An assistant reminded me that they were doing a Black Friday deal: 'Buy 1 get a 2nd purchase half price", so I bought both. I also got an extra £10 off with loyalty points. So the second coat cost me just £20! I'm a happy bunny. Have also bought a few Christmas presents on Amazon's B.F. Deals.

I was in M&S today and bought some stocking fillers for half price (toiletries), and also some hooded tops for my little grandchildren in Gap (again half price), so a good saving overall.
