Extra Days - Extra Deals - Extra Savings!

I wonder if Apple's UK sale will continue into next week - our VAT rate will reduce from 17.5% to 15% on Monday...

Get Email Alerts When Products Go On Sale

This web site will help you make sure you get the best prices on all of your purchases on cyber monday (and after!)

http://www.zingsale.com

It's a free service that tracks prices of products from online stores (like amazon) and sends you an email when the price drops. You can set a target price or be notified when it falls by a certain percentage. Might be a nice way to make sure you're getting the best deals this holiday season.
