I've been looking at a light fitting in Dunelm for ages. It's £89 but I need X2 so I thought I'd wait until black Friday just in case there was an offer. Well, it's gone up to £95! I'm guessing it's so they can then 'drop the price' and make it appear like a bargain. Sneaky.

We got our wedding rings today.. 30% off at Ernest Jone, which worked out that we got both of them for the full price of mine. Definitely a legit deal, I’ve have my eye on the ring I’ve got for months waiting for it to be an acceptable price!

I don't make a point of looking for stuff on BF unless there is something specific I've been needing anyway but this year BF has helped me afford a new winter coat that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to justify buying at the original price, so I'm happy.

Saw Pets At Home have a sale on cat trees atm
I’ve been considering getting my cat one for a while now (never entirely sure if he will use it), and this might just be it

Terry's Chocolate Oranges. I haven't seen them anywhere cheaper than £1 special offer price. But Morrisons are doing them 75p this week. And a litre of Jack Daniels for £16.99 which ain't a bad price at all.

Not that I'm buying either myself. I'm not overly seeking to partake in Black Friday this year. Trying to save money so spending as little as I can atm.

Anyone know why they’re starting so much earlier this year? The official Black Friday is 26th November.
May be due to being able to fulfil orders, website capacity and not crashing, maintain stock levels with lorry driver shortages/importing stock, deliveries on time as it's not a rush to get them out in one weekend (some places I've ordered from previously had items cancelled and delivery not next day/not even being dispatched for days etc) and anticipation for being short-staffed in warehouses etc with Covid?

Makes a lot of sense doing it this way to be fair, a lot less pressure on staff.

Thanks, yes it does make a lot more sense when you put it like that! I just didn’t want to start buying if suddenly there were better sales nearer the date itself.
Boots has been brilliant this year. Their star gifts are 50% off at the moment and some really good discounts on other bits but the mobile site is painfully slow if you were looking for electricals and cosmetic bits.

Probably won't bother with clothing this year as thats usually just stock they couldn't sell through the year but most places would be advertising now if it was a specific date to drum up interest so if you buy now you should be fine :)

I want to get new bedsheets! Really soft, white, hotel vibes. Please let me know if you see anything 🥰
Maybe some new kitchen knives too!
I have sheets from Linenbundle.com They're 500 thread count, really soft and wash well. They have 45% off for Black Friday.

Bit random but everything on the Lee Stafford website has 50% off. I get the big bottles of shampoo when they are on offer.

Oops ignore me. It’s not 50% off everything. I must have misread.
But there are large bottles of shampoo included in the 50% offer so - worth a look.

Don’t know whether to Xmas shop now (payday) or wait til Friday for better offers. Not really convinced they will be better offers!

Are you participating this year? Post your deals, finds and purchases. We all love a bargain and some shops are starting their promotions early!
I heard that it's going to be pretty non existent this year as many companies can't afford to drop prices :( I hope that's not the case :(
