[Albion] Don't be seduced by Black Friday deals - Which survey reveals it's all a con job.

[brianwade]

Much as I dislike non Brighton and Hove Albion posts on here I have to copy this link from which magazine

https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/1...arent-the-cheapest-of-the-year-which-reveals/

So don't fall for it and spend all your Christmas money in those lovely independant shops in the North Laines in Brighton - or even at the Albion shop where I expect they'll also have some sort of Black Saturday event this Saturday !!

Do Which still use shady tricks to get you to subscribe? Used to be prize draws and the like which made any of their views null and void for me.

In other ground breaking news, the sun sets in the west.

Just another American import we should have rejected

A few years ago our TV went kaput in the run up to Christmas so we replaced it straight away. Few weeks later the Boxing Day/New Years sales were in full swing and I noticed the exact model of TV I'd bought in the same shop for £100 MORE in the sale! Was strategically priced to make the model above seem cheaper. Most sales are just manipulating of prices unless it's a true 50% off everything in store sort of sale.

... shops in the North Laines ...

Surprise surprise!

Plan ahead. Know what you want and check prices. I'm after Philips Hue lights and so far have bought three starter packs of 3 lamps and 2 strip lights. All nearly half price from Amazon. . Waiting now for the individual bulbs, normally £50, to be on a 24 hour special.

Reminds me of the Jez and Mark Peep Show exchange - “you know how I feel about capitalism.” “Yes, confused.”

Not so sure [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] will agree with additional Amazon pricing links? Think that's what helps keep this site running!

I think Tony Green said he is not doing any more re makes of Bullseye.

the 3rd Gen echo dot I picked up for £25 seems like a decent deal to me ?....

The whole thing is nuts.

"Save £50 on this piece of shit you don't need"

It's not a bloody saving unless you planned to buy it in the first place.

[Lady Whistledown]
