Black Friday is just a whisper away, teeming with bargains galore set to unveil on November 29. Amidst the retail frenzy, you might have clocked that certain shops don’t wait for the official day to unfurl their Black Friday flags – there are copious deals up for grabs already. For those savvy bargain hunters, discount websites amplify the joy of Black Friday with even more irresistible deals.
Groupon has a load of products and experiences that cover nearly every segment of your festive shopping list. In anticipation of the spree, lets delve into some standout deals from Groupon’s Black Friday offerings. Featured in the Black Friday bonanza, shoppers can buy Snow Paws Sheepskin Slippers for £22, reduced from £50, a hefty saving of 56%.
Available UK sizes range from 3-8, with colour selections like chestnut, coffee and sand. A satisfied customer left a review on the Snow Paw website, reading: “Just tried another make, and back I come to these, lovely cosy, warm and last reasonably well,” reports the Mirror.
Fashioned with a suede exterior and a snug sheepskin inside, they’re perfect as a Christmas gift idea. Over on Amazon, one of the very few negative reviews we could find mentions issues with the ‘sole collapsing’ on one of the heels. If you’re more interested in a festive experience than gift shopping, why not take advantage of reduced entry to a Christmas Fair at various locations?
You can choose from the Christmas Fair at Ascot or the Great Yorkshire Christmas Fair on a selection of dates. Tickets for four people are now £10, down from £20. Groupon advises: “Choose from a range of dates and locations to visit our Christmas Fair. Each ticket provides access to a variety of holiday-themed attractions, including markets, entertainment, and seasonal treats. Enjoy a day of festive joy at a location and time that best fits your plans. Our goal is to offer a convenient and enjoyable experience for everyone.”
So far, one person has given the experience a five-star rating – with no negative reviews at the time of writing. Groupon has a good reputation on TrustPilot – boasting a 4-out-of-5 rating averaged from nearly 23,000 reviews. “Good discount on the product I purchased. Excellent communication from the third party. I would recommend it to anyone interested in their products. Third time I’ve used Groupon, no issues,” read one five-star review.
“Really easy transaction,” another satisfied customer commented. “Bought discounted tickets and printed them to bring along to the event. Saved over 50% of the full ticket price. I love a Groupon!” One customer praised: “Love Groupon for last-minute gifts or new places to try. Whether it’s a 60-minute massage or a 5-course tasting menu, and everything in between!”
However, one negative review stated: “Item I bought would not download, the supplier was very unhelpful and abrupt and promised a refund. I’m still waiting 15 days later as they are not responding to Groupon.” Some customers have also pointed out that Groupon can be challenging to get in touch with or unable to assist when third parties don’t deliver: “So hard to find customer services contact, almost impossible, so stuck when we need them.”
