How did everyone do for black Friday/cyber Monday?

Hallaz

Pulled the trigger early to get a Nintendo Switch , mario party bundle and few more games from Littlewoods when 20% off for a few hours. In my head i feel like i got 2 free games and didn't see deal as good over the actual black friday weekend.

Anyone else love that Tuesday feeling after Black Friday/Cyber Monday when you check and the item you bought has went back up in price.

Only time I ever enjoy seeing something go up in price!

Generally these days it's like a con job. They take all the food stock off the shelf and then cut the prices of the opinion older stuff.

I got a ball of Philips hue lighting bundled with new echo dots for a good price

I reckon a lot of people bought a lot of stuff they don't really need. All in the name of consumerism.

We picked up an iPad in Currys 32GB, which was listed as being on offer at €339. We also got 10% off this price due to signing up for AIB rewards. Thought it was a good price for a brand new model. Now to get a good cover 🙂.
I also picked up a nice small Paw Patrol bag for my son for preschool in a Galway City shop, it was listed as being just €12, but with Black Friday she said 25% off everything so paid just €9 for it.
Depends on what you need and want, some places good deals, some places not.

Couple of books from easons with the 30% or whatever, Nintendo labo robot from gamestop for twenty squid and the anker speaker from amazon for around the 17 euro mark. All Christmas presents.

bromley52

Philip's air fryer for €81 & a NETGEAR R7800 Nighthawk X4S Dual-Band AC2600 Smart Wi-Fi Router for £96 (20% off Amazon Warehouse like new). Hopefully it will be in the box. Underpants from JD sports

Got a lenovo smart display for 99 dollars in America last week. Spent about 800 dollars on IPA and chicken wings over there so probably not a great net result in the end.

CyberGhost

I got Sony XZ1 Compact. I have wanted it for a while since it's the last truly compact phone and I love small phones. It was a price too good to pass up.

Got a few 128GB microSD memory cards. Samsung EVOs from Amazon.com and mymemory.ie. Although I wish I had waited because Sandisk 128GB drives went down to 16 euro after I already bought Samsungs, but oh well. I prefer Samsung, so it's OK.

Got 3 Anker battery banks. This was a great deal at 11 euro each.

Got BOSE Bluetooth speakers.

My only regret this year's Black Friday is that I missed those Anker Bluetooth speakers for like 15 euro. I'd have bought several as they'd make great Christmas gifts.

I might get a BOSE QC25. Was trying to convince myself to get Sony XM2 or Bose QC35, but could not make the decision.

I got all my Xmas presents bought at far cheaper prices and also bought a drone but need to actually use it!

Really wanted a PS4 but wasn't happy with the discounts on the Pro on Amazon. Have Amazon £150 voucher burning a hole in my pocket so wasn't really looking anywhere else! Will sit it out for a while and see what comes up

Crow92

Picked up a tent from an Irish retailer, was about €450 reduced down to €310 and then further reduced to €217 (pretty sure that was an accident as they changed the price later that day, but they honoured the sale!)

Also picked up a jacket I’ve had my eye on, retails at €550 and manage to pick it up for €300!

So felt very successful!

Expensive week for me having bought:

- Turntable from RicherSounds
- Various LP's (Bon Iver, Frightened Rabbit, The Postal Service, Volcano Choir, Fleetwood Mac, Arcade Fire) from NormanRecords, Music Magpie, local shops
- Nest Of Tables reduced from £80 to £35 with further 20% off from Amazon Warehouse Deals
- 3 Shirts (Bon Iver, The National, Frightened Rabbit) from RedBubble with 20% off
- New Bedframe and mattress locally with 20% off marked price
- 3 Pack USB Cables (always handy to have) from Amazon
- Another CouchCoaster from TomTop - savage little invention!
- Frightened Rabbit Enamel Pin from BandsFC
- Oh, and upgraded 2nd Gen Echo Dot to 3rd Gen Echo Dot via my CEX -> Argos tip

So a pricey week... and if that wasn't enough, I tried to move €120 from Bank Account to Revolut and accidentally moved €1200 on a slip of a finger! :eek:

Didn't buy anything. Santy presents last month already cleaned me out

From what I did see though there wasn't anything great anyway

Nothing. I bought most of my stuff before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Didn't see much on it this year and glad I didn't have to chase Lightening deals on Amazon this year.

Got a Logitech k400 keyboard that had no usb receiver in it and a ravpower wall charger that is supposed to be a fast charger but is not. So not happy so far. Should be called faulty Friday. New firestick is yet to arrive so hopefully better luck with that.
