It's not far off, I've already had an email about early deals, that weekend that's now at least a week of rather disappointing (but yet everyone has heard of somebody that got a 60" TV for a tenner) deals. Black Friday!
I am never bothered, but this year o is have a couple of things in looking for a couple of things anyway so if I can save a few quid, brilliant.
So, post up and share your best bargain deals, and what you're hunting for in they hope others may help you find they bargain.
I'm after a dualit toaster, Nevill towers is sans toast until we get a new one.
Also on the hunt for a quality 1/2" router.
On the hunt for a deal on a Apple 4K tv for zwift and a barbie dream house this year.
Can’t bring myself to pay £250 for a big lump of plastic.
@kirkg - I've got an apple TV 4k for sale, drop me a message if you're interested 👍
It's just another rubbish festival of consumerism where the vendors offload crap we don't need, at not much of a bargain prices....and we wonder why the planet is doomed
🤦
I've only ever bought 1 thing in a BF "sale" which was a Canon digicam I was going to buy any way
Crap we don't need like bike bits. Here's some crap someone might need want:
One of the better bike bits deals I've seen.
If anyone sees a good deal on 18v DeWalt XR tools, especially the SDS drill or multitool please post.
Or a plunge saw though don't need cordless there
Also a security camera with a floodlight.
Mostly Silverstone GP on the motorbike...

There is some truth in thus.
But.
If there's something specific you want and would buy anyway, and Black Friday enables you to get it at a cheaper price then that's no bad thing.
For me, there's a couple of Garmin products I'd like (a fitness band and a running watch) and some new running shoes.

^ that.
Had some good deals in the past, Lyriks, Carbon wheels and a Tourneo custom. Cant think of anything we need at the moment and have had two cracking deals this month on 40% of some Fox 36s and 50% of a 2022 FOX Factory X2.
Nukeproof carbon bars for £50
31.8mm diameter from chain reaction.
I bought some last year for the p7 and very impressed with them
As much as I hate this thought of falling in to the trap of buying stuff at reduced prices, I'm keen to see if there will be any deals on a Garmin InReach Mini as I'm keen to get one. I hate that I'm joining the ranks of looking to get a bargain price but at the same time, I'm moe than happy to save a few quid when it is a lot of cash.
yeah exactly. IME it's just an excuse for bigger retailers (supermarkets, currys, wiggle etc) to offload shite that hasn't sold. Some of them even specifically manufacturer cheaper goods to sell at a "discount" on BF. However, now a lot of smaller/indie retailers, shops etc - who rarely or never discount normally - feel they have to get in on the act too so there [I]are[/I] genuine discounts to be had. I've got a list of stuff I'm going to buy anyway at some point, so if I see any of it discounted on BF I'll pull the trigger!If there’s something specific you want and would buy anyway, and Black Friday enables you to get it at a cheaper price then that’s no bad thing.
Going to keep an eye on some shiny home-brewing gear as I can see from google that some of the online shops have done nice BF deals in the past. 😃
Last-gen Echo Dots are 2-for-1 at the moment.
Bugger off with your cynicism, don't read threads you aren't interested in.
@Cougar - I don't think I'm alone in thinking BF is mostly rubbish. If you're looking for something specific and can manage get a good deal then great, otherwise it's all a bit crap.
Has anyone seen any good deals on left knees? Mine is goosed.
☹️
line them up!!!
If i can get 1/3 off a big ticket item that WASN'T discounted previously I'm all for it.
However, it's not always the case...always check the camel
e.g.
https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00OP26T4K
https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B07HYX9P88
Also, know what you want (down to the manufacturers part numbers) and don't get suckered in!
Rutland offering to price match BF deals.
I'm a terrible online shopping bargain hunter magpie due to my ADD tendencies but I was massively underwhelmed by Black Friday last year - just seemed like a huge amount of hype and very few genuine/decent discounts.
Had some good deals in the past, .... 50% of a 2022 FOX Factory X2.
Perfect example of how crap Black Friday is, when else would you waste perfectly good money on half a shock?
I'm watching the pennies so no big purchases planned in the near future and all the stuff I need (29er tyres, chains and brake pads) are all in high demand with limited stock so no hope of any deals there. Also I learned a few years ago that you can usually find the bargains cheaper after Christmas anyway or even just before. Will keep an eye on the thread though as you never know what random deal some shop might throw out to get some traffic to their website!
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking BF is mostly rubbish. If you’re looking for something specific and can manage get a good deal then great, otherwise it’s all a bit crap.
Hm. In that case, maybe it'd be useful if someone started a thread on an Internet forum somewhere in order to shout out any great bargains they find...?

Actually, i've been waiting for BF for months to buy the shit that I actually need.
I've had to rewrite this about 5 times because my keyboard keeps missing out letters and is completely ****d
I've been holding out to see if any firestick deals pop up. Thinking about it I picked up my Ion Scrub Amp shoes discounted last year and could maybe do with a backup pair.

Superstar are doing 20% off brake pads for the rest of the month (code: BRAKE2021).
Think they have decent stock as they've not long re-started selling pads.

However, it’s not always the case…always check the camel
Just checked the camel for the first time - possibly the last. Item I'm looking at says £224 on there, but £179 when I look at Amazon myself (not signed in, so nothing to do with Prime). Is it always like that?
If there’s something specific you want and would buy anyway, and Black Friday enables you to get it at a cheaper price then that’s no bad thing.
but buying things you want and are going to buy anyway isn’t a defence against an accusation of consumerism.
Got some socks from Wiggle. Good price for some woolie boolies and also the popular 100% Brisker glove.
CRC actually have any of the 29 quid XTR cranks or 200 quid fox forks or was it just to draw to the site?
I’m after some 100mm 29er rebas or sids if anyone spots a decent deal.
If anyone is after a floodlight cam, eufy on Amazon is pretty well priced
I've knocked £5 off all the T shirts in my shop with a discount code, can't link as not affiliated to STW and not fair to advertise on the back of their popularity.
oh and I'm looking for a podcast quality microphone (yeti blue or similar) if anyone sees one at a decent price, current RRP around £100
I’d like an echo show 10 and a new Firestick.
Kinda want an echo show 15 but i doubt they'll be discounted
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobi-v-15-portable-bike-pressure-washer/rp-prod34761
Mobi v 15 washer... no idea if it was RRP before BF.
I’m after some 100mm 29er rebas or sids if anyone spots a decent deal.
I've got a pair of 100mm Rebas on my Scandal SS that I'm contemplating selling swap to rigids if a used pair is of any interest. Bought in 2012 but in good condition and well maintained etc. 1/8 steerer, QR.
ShockWiz £225 at Wiggle/CRC, caught my eye. It is a better price than usual, although they've been down to £180 before going by previous PSA threads on here.
I got my Mobi for 50 quid a couple of years ago. I’ve seen it at full price briefly in the intervening years. It’s usually around £70-80 though.
CRC Wiggle are doing some good deals on Selle saddles.
Cycliq have their front and rear bike cams on offer. I left my old Fly 6 in France and the mark 1 Fly 12 is bricked, but I have ordered a new rear Fly 6. To be fair, they’ve now fixed the dreadful rear mounting that saw my original fall off and get lost. And they sent me a free replacement when I complained. But I left it in Albi by mistake.
Rega planar 1 plus here, no one has been discounting so soon as I saw it for 20% off couldn't resist, then a subwoofer similar deal, audio pro sw10 to those audio pro fans out there. Just need some vinyl now i ve long lost my collection.
Most of the bf deals I see posted are just bought in, I ve spent ages trawling the best prices.
Good luck all
Halfords tool chests (and bundles) are on offer again. Seeing as I started yet another shed clearout at the weekend, and need better organisation, it seemed an opportune moment to buy a second bundle. Have had the first since 2017 and all chests are working exactly as they were on day one.
Everything 30% off on the Quad Lock website (phone case / handlebar mount system)
I just rapidly scrolled through this thread and it reminded me of this
I hate Black Friday and I hated the Generation Game. "Cuddly Toy!"
20% off a load of lego on ebay. The prices don't look too keen in general but you can still double up with topcashback for a little more
Just ordered Cleva Vacmaster for use on the turbo - been dithering about them, but with BF10 code and sale price the fancy one with remote comes in at 72 quid delivered.

I've ordered a (used) Apple Watch series 6 with cellular for £215, which seems like a great deal (needs the code BLACKFRIDAYUK), assuming it's in reasonable condition.
Currently on a series 3, but looking forward to leaving the phone at home 🙂
27.5 × 3 WTB Bridger tyres for a tenner each. These were forty quid previously on CRC. Nice grippy tyres for the winter hack.
Garmin watches and Polygon bikes on sale in the Blacks site.
MrsTrekster needs yet another Fitbit, her current charge has gone awaol!!!
If some other health type watch comes up let us know. Cheers...

I used to use camel camel camel but it stopped letting me import an Amazon wish list and I stopped bothering with it. I’ve had some bargains from it over the yrs, things I’d been after for a while but not fussed when and bought when heavily discounted.
I’m after a makita plunge saw. Not decided on corded or cordless. Have batteries but unlikely to use that far from a plug?
Got a redshift stem £50 off last yr that I was going to buy anyway which was nice and has been good.
I bought a tandem last year during lockdown and have covered over a thousand miles with my daughter on fun rides and school runs.
Hoping to have even more fun on this one.

What I actually want is a burley tag along... the one that clips to it's specific rack....

Going to grab the Erbauer drill and impact driver twin pack in the morning from B&Q - For DIY only and I was waiting till now to see what deals come up, ticks most of the boxes so It'll do for me!
Lazer Lamps have some good clearance offers for Black Friday
That tandem looks like its missing the usual diagonal tube in the middle. Are there any reviews? Is it stiff enough? I was thinking it might make a good kids bike with two child seats on whilst their little and riding it normally when they're older.
@horatiohufnagel
There are a number of videos on YouTube. I've set myself appropriate expectations for a 500 quid tandem and placing my faith in Polygon being a big firm to know their stuff. I've not got big mountain rides planned, just the next stage up from what our Thorn Voyager can manage.
Samsung deals now up.....£60 off the A52s looks like a bargain.
Tablets not so much, considering the new ones should be out soon, but a good amount off full retail nonetheless.
Magicshine 3500 for £99 with a free rear light.
50% off loads at sunglasseshut.com. Tempted by some new half jackets as it's hardly any more than replacement lenses and the iridium coating is failing on my existing ones.
Magicshine 3500 for £99 with a free rear light.
Is that olight store kosher?
It seems to be branded olight rather than magicshine. Doesn't say monteer on it either. Looks the same and uses the same part number but not actually a magicshine as far as I can see. Might still be good for the money but definitely one to be cautious on
Olight have a "better" reputation than Magicshine. I suspect they are all part of the same company. The olight website is kosher. They do have an annoying habit of charging crazy RRP and then selling at a reasonable price during periodic sales.
That's a good price for that light, but will I remember to hit buy on the 25th before they go out of stock?
Shark vacuum cleaners have a good BF sale on... Honey popped in another 10% off code for me.
Got the updated cordless lift away thing for £250..
Top cashback too...

Ooni are offering 20% discounts until end of Nov. Gosney a bit less.
Hmm, I never did get round to choosing a pizza oven this summer, may have to revisit that thread we had going and fire up some Xmas flavours.
Anyone seen any Sonos deals anywhere?
What I actually want is a burley tag along
I used to clip mine onto a kiddy back tandem. Long since sold. It was excellent, but the Adams trail-a-bike was not so bad either.
Hmmm sonos...Normally they are good for deals, but perhaps not this year
20% off OS Maps now - everything, including annual subscription now £19.
Anyone seen any Sonos deals anywhere?
Not a Black Friday thing, but if you are looking at spending a decent amount it can be worth buying a bit of used old kit that qualifies for their upgrade discount on new stuff. Eg. I recently spent £65 on an old Connect Amp and used it to get a £600 discount.
Anyone looking for photoediting software and get 50% off DXO Photolab 5 Elite. Down from £199 to £99.50.
Some good deals on Ryobi tools on Amazon if you already have decent batteries:
https://www.hotukdeals.com/tag/ryobi
That’s a good price for that light, but will I remember to hit buy on the 25th before they go out of stock?
You can add to basket now but I dunno if that helps. Set a reminder?
Olight have a “better” reputation than Magicshine. I suspect they are all part of the same company.
I have no idea about the company thing but it seems like with lots of Chinese stuff - there are loads of options that are seemingly 'the same thing' but sometimes branded differently. You don't really know what the quality control/internal components are going to be like, and there are fakes of copies and copies of copies etc. I would reckon OLight is a pretty safe bet though.
Just ordered some Keela Roadrunner Trousers from the Keela sale.
£50 instead of £79.95 😊
