I've got to say, I'm a sucker for a bargain
0:02
Got myself a doorbell today, two-thirds off. I'm already in a good mood
0:06
Happy days. But is it all just one big rip-off? Are they just reheating old offerings for us
0:11
So, look, you can find a deal. I think you need to be very specific
0:16
So what happens is basically retailers will sell old stock, getting ready for new stock to come in in January
0:21
So I think if you're specific, like you said, you're looking for a doorbell or something else, go in, you can find a good deal
0:27
My advice would be check marketplaces. Vinted, Gumtree, eBay, Black Market, they also sell new
0:34
So there's definitely more opportunities to look at marketplaces and retailers together to find the better deal
0:39
Is that what you do at JoinDig? It's a search engine that we can search in. So you don't just go to the big online retailers
0:45
and assume it's the best price. Exactly, exactly, because the big online retailers will buy the big space on Google, the sponsored results
0:51
What JoinDig does, we put marketplaces and retailers together, AI-based, we quickly search the best deal
0:57
for what you're looking for and serve it up in seconds. So it's saving you time
1:01
I got some cat food at 25 off today Now that how exciting my life is Is that where the smile back Yeah yeah yeah But there are some good bargains out there but I very suspicious that I just getting offered something
1:12
You know, like the old DFS sofa sales. Yes. Basically, it's been on sale all year, but they suddenly say
1:16
oh, and people fall for it, and they can get themselves into debt. Am I being cynical
1:21
No, look, I think my tip would be go in looking for something specific
1:25
Go in if you're looking for the doorbell, or you're looking for a pair of trainers. Then go in with that
1:29
Don't go in and go, I need to buy something. Go in with specifics and you'll come out with a good deal
1:34
If you go in looking for a deal for anything, you will spend money. Too much money
1:38
And the problem is, of course, with Christmas coming around the corner, people are going to go chucking their money all over the shop
1:45
Have we seen any downturn within this year? Because people are quite nervous about the budget that came in this week
1:50
Are people, might Black Friday be a little bit muted this year? So it has been muted so far
1:55
So the budget has delayed a lot of spending. So what you will see is, so Cyber Monday starts obviously Monday
1:59
what you'll see is that deals will extend. And then what you'll find is Christmas
2:04
kind of 20th, 21st, more sales will start pre-Christmas. Obviously, the tricky bit for parents
2:09
is it might not get delivered in time. So that would be post-Christmas
