Exposure Joystick for 89 quid from cyclerepublic. Not sure if it’s a Black Friday thing as the deal is still on.

and a waffle iron of all things, for my daughter

You are not alone, I did exactly the same!

Picked up a bunch of things from Amazon Warehouse as they were doing an extra 20% off... one of them turned up with some bits missing, called up Amazon, got a full refund and they said I could keep it (a set of dumbbells that were missing the securing collars).

@ Cougar - re new Chromecast, I have a glitch on mine when attempting to cast Channel 4 programs.  In fact it's pretty much unusable despite uninstalling then reinstalling app.  Would this happen with a new Chromecast do you think?  Thanks!

Anker soundcore 2 for £27. Had been after one for a while for on the turbo in garage but theyve been £40 for ages. Back up to £40 again today so happy that it was a genuine reduction.

I've no idea TBH.  It's higher spec than the original, supposed to be a lot faster and snappier in operation so it might well fix the problem.  For £20 I'd probably chance it.

If you've got the V2 - hockey-puck shaped thing rather than a stick - then it's an incremental upgrade so maybe not (unless yours is faulty of course).

Some PC games, a pizza and a bicycle. The last 2 weren't black friday sales though.

Cougar - thanks for that, suspect I have the original so worth taking a punt.  It works on everything else except Channel 4 where it keeps stopping and going back to the start, very frustrating.

Thinking about one the OLED TVs from Richer Sounds but my 6 year old LG is still so good and 4K is still pretty sparce, so can’t justify it.

Did buy a new bike last were though.

New phone, though badged as 'Black Friday' was on sale over a week earlier. £200 for a Moto Z2 Force and a free pair of gawdy headphones. Bargain.  Just need the Moto Mod power pack to come back into stock on Amazon to compensate for the meagre battery.

The rest of Black Friday was meh.

Wasn't going to but last thing last night remembered I was planning on buying a Sony zx2 compact in the next month or so so thought I might as well see if anyone had a deal and much to my surprise (as there's normally sod all I want on offer) it was available on giff gaff £50 cheaper than cheapest I could find anywhere else and a free pair of £120 wireless headphones included.

Some vittoria Corsa CX III

A bunch of chains

some old stock shimano MT53 shoes, (Very)Old model I know but I really liked mine for the short while i had them before some dodgy african mud got the better of them.

Merlin saved me a pack of money by having sold the last of the Road bike I liked(maybe better so I already have 5 lying around)

oh and a bergamot grandurance drop handle  ..

In the end all I bought was a shirt on H&M £14..

dissapointed with crc and wiggle same stuff has been on sale weeks, didn’t spot any new offers

Flights for the family to fuertaventura for Feb half term. School have an inset day on the Friday before half term and picked up some discounted rayanir tickets for that date which knocked best part of 1k off the price of going on the sat or sun.

....and the Bikehut light

Some properly discounted Christmas lego for the kids and a 15 quid Osram outside light, supposed to have been 48 quid originally but I think it would be more like 25 so a BF swiss I reckon. Still, put it up over the garage doors today and will be good for before and after night rides.

Need some new hiking boots but the offers didn't seem any better than usual, it is all a bit meh now. Best one i saw was the Technic crane down to £110 from 230 but we have nowhere to put it and the wife would justifiably have killed me

15% off just eat, so had a curry. It wasn't as good as normal, I think they'd knocked the quality down by 15% to compensate.

Got a coupe of echo dots while they were on £25, we'd been thinking about a speaker for the kitchen anyway and these will do the job, notmsure where to put the other one yet, somewhere upstairs, but not in the way.

I upgraded my phone allowance on a black friday deal (0.5 to 25Gb 😜). No way I’ll use that amount (but I can ‘gift’ it to my 4g broadband...

i bought a new helmet (but it wasn’t specifically discounted, the guy in Alpine gave me 10% though).

i did succumb to 20% off some funcy Fjallraven breeks... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Basketball shoes for the daughter and desperately needed pair of flat pedals for me. Made use of Quidco (though one never knows for sure if that discount comes through) and addidas’ 30% off.

Son who was extremely keen to get the pre release whatever hyped up NBA2K19 paid 70odd quid a few months ago is abit disappointed that he saw it on sale now for 30!! He has learnt his lesson now.

@cinanom_girl the channel 4 app is just terrible, ime !

Got some Nike trainers 60% off on their store

And got all the kids Xmas presents at Smyth's yesterday with their 10% off. Not a huge saving, but all that's out the way now!

I was on the look out for some road carbon disc wheels but in the end bought a joie 360 car seat for 10 month old mini D. That's how I roll these days.

I bought a sandwich for lunch from the Coop and some brake pads from Wiggle for the commuter. The whole black Friday thing doesn't really do anything for me....

Saved ourselves at least £700 by taking the advice of some on here & not buying a new telly in Black Friday sales. The old one had green lines running down the screen which have seemingly vanished, so we don't need another telly just now!
