Black Friday 2013

[Mr-Trainor]

Is this Friday! I don't think many places in the UK have discounts though - or at least not as many as the US anyway as that's where the whole Black Friday thing originates. But we can expect discounts at some major UK retailers this Friday, e.g. Apple :D. Did anyone else know about this? I know quite a few of my friends hadn't heard of it before! I think I found out about it last year.

[Empired]

I've heard of it but it's never really made a difference to me because nothing much happens around where I live :(

[Futz]

amazon are having flash deals

missed one on some sweet headphones

[Absently]

i read that apparently during these times big brands make different products just for black friday that aren't as good quality as normal

[!x!dude!x!2]

I know about it . I just don't go because people start fights over product

Ohh yeah I forgot about Amazon!

[OldLoveSong]

[lemons]

ASDA are doing Black Friday sales from 8am tomorrow because they're Walmart n all that

[AgnesIO]

Grabbed the Times Concise Atlas for my fathers birthday for £18 in Amazon Flash Deals - decent price, way under half the price of anywhere else.

Would have got some mini Casserole dishes but forgot what time they were on offer ;(

[Sieglinde]

never heard of it until now oops

[-:Undertaker:-]

I found out about it last year too, think I went but can't remember if or what I bought.

Went where? :P

Got my eyes on a couple of Amazon things today for Christmas presents, hoping for them to hit about £21 - it's the mini casserole dishes again :D

[-:Undertaker:-]

Went where? :P

Into Liverpool city centre. :)

Oh I see - I've only ever really known about deals online :L Wish we had Black Friday like the Americans have it. I always find it amusing when people complain about massive savings because it is American... I mean, what? :L

[Shar]

I only heard about Black Friday and randomly watched an American black friday haul and I wish I could of had some of those savings

USA Black Friday deals are so, so good - puts our version to shame!

Definitely, I was so shocked by some of the deals

[AgnesIO]

Got my hands on what I wanted; although the discount wasn't quite as great as last time. A similar product is available later, so I'll try and get that too.

[Yawn]

:'(
this makes me anxious because there r offers now but i dont want to buy and then find it even cheaper tomorrow
likewise i dont want to not buy and then the offer be over by tomorrow

Buy, then cancel or send back if necessary.

Keep checking back every few minutes or so, the 100% gone means that people have just put it in their basket, but they might not have processed their order. If you're lucky enough to have it in your basket you have it for 15 minutes - unless you take it out. I found this out earlier.

I wanted this grow your own bonsai tree set and it was on offer for £6.99, but when I checked it was gone. It was just I saw it then I decided I wanted it as it's a great present and I'm sure the recipient would love it. Anyway, the deal was almost over so I clicked add to waitlist just in case someone had it in their basket, but it actually went in my basket so I got it. Plus I forgot I had a gift voucher from ages ago, so it only cost me £1.99!

Also got a Bench hoody on the official site, I saw it was meant to be £25.00 and this was just after midnight, so I clicked buy went to checkout and it was reduced to £15.99, but I had 10% off too because of black Friday so £13.50 and free delivery isn't too bad.

Got the Wii U console on Play.com for £199.99 with the Mario games, also got Just Dance 2014 for Wii. Bought two lots of One Direction's perfume for my sister, also noticed some Yankee Candles that she'd like. Origin is also having a sale on, I'm tempted to get some Sim expansion packs.

I only heard about black Friday for the first time yesterday, I think I've spent too much.

not really interested in looking cos i'd buy stuff i wouldn't need cos its cheaper lol

The waitlist works if you are quick, or the item isn't particularly wanted. Like CD's and cheap items are not that popular. Cameras that go from £200 to £100 are - and the Wait list was also full!

Amazon, Asda and Argos had some good deals for Black Friday
Went Lakeside and a load of the shops had signs up for Black Friday too (got some bras DIRT CHEAP at La Senza)
John Lewis was alright too, but not a lot of..

Apples idea of Black Friday was PATHETIC.

Apple didn't even give discounts in the US.. they just gave gift cards to spend more money haha

In the UK they decided that £30 of the iPad Air was worthy of Black Friday.. no just no :/

If you were seriously expecting a real discount from Apple you were hugely mistaken.

[karter]

everyone's excited about black friday until people die in the stampedes and it gets really sad
