3 nights Travelodge in West London 2 minutes walk to a station with free car parking £98 total. Gatwick Airport Travelodge £20. So maybe NOT all BS then  ;)
Nope, its all BS. No cheaper than it would have otherwise been. Just like the ECP/DFS type sales, Black Friday is another opportunity for a savvy business to get money from stupid people. Much like the January sales, or these retail outlets like Bicester Village.

I had a 'black friday' deal emailed to me from a company I usually buy photo paper from....they were offering a massive 50% off certain paper products.

When I looked at their website it was indeed 50% off certain products I do buy from them.....BUT the offer they usually have running of buy one get one free had magically disappeared  ::) ::)

Lots of pressies bought for Xmas, daughter sorted it all for us  found the bargains & reserved them,  I just went in paid & picked them up saves a lot of hassle as well + saved a few quid.

Well' I've been watching exactly same hotela, exactly same dates, exactly same booking terms for some time. I saved over £100. BS or not I'm happy on this one.

BTW, Curry's Massive "Black Event Saving" on a certain TV is exactly the same as the RRP, really not such a big deal. It all boils down to doing a bit of research.

Well I was looking at buying a colour laser printer a few weeks ago and as per usual didn't bother with the purchase.

Ebuyer have knocked a tenner of it on a black Friday deal. nothing fantastic, but also got 500 sheets of paper for free, so lets see what it's like. :y

Last time I was looking at it the price was £99.99 so I saved a tenner and got a ream of paper, also just had an email saying it has just been despatched even though I opted for economy (free) delivery. :y
