    Was tempted by a 4gb 480x at £156, but thought better of it since I have a 290x. Got Witcher 3 GOTY, Inside, Doom and 2 cheapo TVs.

    Asus ac88u router. Some other small bits and things. Some on offer..some not. Router is £60-70 off the usual price. Been looking at it for a while.

    A pair of NikeID trainers, I made my own that looked the same as another pair as it worked out less with these being in the 30% off sale items code and 22.5% quidco.

    Talk about a faff.

    Nothing. Was hoping to find a 960GB SSD and a retail Blu-Ray writer for a decent price.

    A 40" 4K Samsung TV. Missed the £300 Tesco offer while on the phone to John Lewis, who were about to price match it when it went out of stock. Still, £350 wasn't too bad, but had hoped for a tad less.

    Was after a TV anyway so was waiting for the Black Friday sales to see if anything interesting would come up.

    A lacklustre day of sales all in all. I think the best offers I've seen were on coffee machines, and I'm not enough of a connoisseur to cave.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2016?

    Absolutely nothing :/

    The one thing i was actually interested in* (a 11" celeron 2GB RAM but fanless laptop for £99) has been out of stock everytime i've checked at Tesco's for the past few days :/

    *potentially to replace my lenovo x121e. (I've made it nearly fanless, at the expense of it averaging near 70C...) But even that lowly celeron plus a mere 2GB RAM would outperform the E-450 AMD CPU i have now whilst barely making the laptop warm.

    Nothing at all.

    I didn't really go out of my way to look, but the only thing I would have been interested in getting wasn't part of the sales anyway when I checked.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2016?

    A 64gb SD (lexar Pro 1000x) got a free 16gb pen drive with it (black friday promotion).

    Funny think is I had it on stock watch as it was much cheaper than amazon and just got the email today it was back in stock, just happened to be black friday so I got a free pen drive, will work for the wife and stop her losing my 128gb drive.

    Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Logitech Harmony Elite (Replacing an Ultimate that'll be moved elsewhere)

    Less exciting but most expensive... A new washer/dryer. I've been on the lookout for a while, good timing. Especially as to match the other kitchen appliances I've been on the lookout for a black one.
