Best Black Friday Deals

SONOS is very tempting. I was looking at one the other day. Don't really have £139 to spend though without dipping into the savings.

I got one on a bit of a whim because I didn't know what I wanted as a Christmas present a few years ago and someone had mentioned they are decent. They very much are.

We now have 3 (two * 1s and one * 3) and are considering at least one more. In fact my 6-y-o might be getting one for Christmas because he keeps stealing his sister's. This isn't an issue most of the time as she doesn't live with us, but when she is with us we then have Sonos wars. This differs from Sonos wars when [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] is round and keeps sticking bloody Muse into my playlist.

That first Sonos is very high up in my "best things I've ever bought" things.

You could buy one but you really need a pair and play 'em in stereo mode. One is OK, two is better, IMO. They do sound very good for their size, lovely quality.

I'm a Vodafone customer and was due to be able to upgrade in about a month or so - I noticed they had a Black Friday deal where you could get the Samsung Galaxy S7 (the phone I wanted anyway) with 6GB data p/m as well as unlimited calls and texts for £24 a month rather than the £47 they apparently usually charge for that bundle. It costs slightly more upfront but still equates to a big saving over the course of the contract.

I thought I'd at least try asking them if they'd allow me an extra early upgrade to take advantage of this, and they did which I'm rather happy with. :thumbsup:

We're mostly looking at them because the Mrs likes to have music on when she's spending all Sunday baking in the kitchen. It's tempting but feels like there could be cheaper alternatives for the sort of use we'd get out of it.

Most sales these days seem like they've had the prices manipulated beforehand unless it is a genuine 50% off everything sort of sale. Bought a new TV and next month saw te same tv, in the same shop, £30 more expensive during a sale! Reason was the next model up was reduced so they were trying to make that look like more of a bargain.

The devil's in the detail. So many online 'deals' throughout the year are anything. If you follow the usual * by the side of the product down to the small print underneath, where it tells you that this product was previously sold at the sale price etc. Thing is, people see the 'discount' and click away.

In related news, for those with teenager daughters (and probably sons) ASOS has a Black Friday 20% off across the board.

This. I'm not big into music, but the Sonos is top quality. I've got a bridge and a Play1 in my kitchen and lounge

I bought a play 1 and play 3. Fantastic to say the least. Now, I just want more!

Dont take any notice of Black Friday tbh - I hate shopping at the best of times.
The wife has got us a new TV though this morning - 43" Blaupunkt with Free view etc....£149 from Tesco.
Pretty happy with that.

Yep, that's probably why they were so quick to agree.

And that is virtually the only downside to going the Sonos route......moreish!

FatSuperman · Nov 25, 2016

I've got a 5 and a 3 (the only ones they sold at the time) and they are currently not plugged in because the missus went and got a turquoise dab radio (with Bluetooth speaker capability) from John Lewis.
