The only way to save money is, not to spend it.
Too true; I had a look at the various offerings and decided there was nothing I needed or wanted.

Well I was looking to buy an IPhone 7 or 8 but all Apple are offering for Black Friday is a £40 gift card with the phone.
They can stuff that, and will wait for the New Year sales now!

Hi

I ventured out this morning for some Black Friday bargains.

No reductions at all in the Charity Shops.

The sim-free iPhone 7 32GB has a reduction in Argos but it's not much.

Thanks for that Ffosse.
Actually it would be the IPhone 7 Plus I would want, which is the larger 5.5" screen.
£669 with 32G storage.
I want it to come down further before I buy, though it is still a lot cheaper than on release.

iPhone 7 Plus price

Launched on September 16 2016
Starts at $769 (£719, AU$1,229) for 32GB model

https://www.argos.co.uk/search/get-s...plus-at-argos/

The 7 is 4.7" screen which is bigger is the one that I want.
Or the larger 8 Plus I think it is, but then a lot more expensive of course.

Hi

Don't knock it Boozer.

Some years ago I was in Rhos and went into a small charity shop.

I don't know if it is still there?

Hanging on the wall was a lovely watercolour of a snow covered Yeomans house in Yorkshire.

It is now on the wall of my lounge.

It is the old family home and it cost me £5.

Nice one Swim, and good on you.

Only a few minutes ago online I bit the bullet and purchased the very latest IPhone 8 Plus with 64G Storage. I have purchased it from John Lewis who were the only ones to knock £50 of it making the phone still a whacking £749 citing Black Friday for the £50 reduction! Also John Lewis give a 2 year guarantee.

Anywhere else, including buying direct from Apple it is £799 and only a 1 year guarantee.
I will be . picking it up from our local Spar Shop tomorrow anytime after 2.00PM, and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

£700 + for a mobile phone - ouch! Did you ever in your previous life think you'd be paying so much for a phone and thinking you're getting a bargain lol?
