Anybody going after a "bargin"?

Online is not very good this year, Amazon are discounting Echo's but I've got enought and bought some far cheaper earlier in the year.

Best email I has was from Hive offering a Black Friday Deal on smart plugs. The offered them in packs of 1, 3 or 5. It was cheaper to buy the single plug.

Also noticed on Amazon that they were selling Hue light strips @£69 in a deal reduced from £109. They have never been that price always around the £60 mark.

Tesco Direct has a 2 for 3 promotion running for weeks that was better that their Black Friday deals

All looks to be a bit crap this year?

I wanted to get a robot vacuum cleaner, but we're getting a real human instead to do it.

Thanks, myp.

I bought a new pair of hiking trousers from Cotswolds Outdoors.

My email inbox has been full of offers from Stena Line (for ferries to Sweden), Travelodge, and Virgin East Coast, none of which I'm taking up.

Going to get some popcorn in and watch the footage of fights in ASDAs .

I've bought Wolfenstein 2 and Destiny 2. Destiny is for a friend and he doesn't know that he owes me £19.99 yet.

Is it worth £30 of your time to do so?

Just got a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones for 70 quid from Argos. Half the price of anywhere else.

I think I’ll drop hints about Wolfenstein for Christmas.

Kov, If it's not been opened and you still have the receipt, they may just price match with a refund. Bare in mind that they don't have to

I'm tempted to get the Moto G5 for £89.99. Technically, there's nothing wrong with my G3, so we'll see how long my willpower holds out :)

Had an email from amazon this morning with the usual multitude of links to things I have no interest in, but they did have a Switch with Mario Odyssey for £279. That was at 6.40’ish AM. The deal had disappeared when I checked back an hour later.

Biteback publishing have 75% off most books at the moment. James Wharton's book on chemsex is a really good insight into a dark side of life in London.
