36-year-old mum, Cecile said “This tool is my ultimate Black Friday stress-saver!”
“I shop on a lot of deal sites, I love browsing discounts before I buy. But when Black Friday rolls around, there’s just too many deals to shop and not enough time.”
“I’ve been shopping on LovetheSales.com for a while now. I got an email a few weeks back about a new Black Friday Price Drop Tool, so I had a quick look.”
The LovetheSales.com Black Friday Price Drop Alert tool lets you shortlist millions of full price & sale price items from across the web, and then alerts you when shortlisted items drop in price, or even if it’s going out of stock.
“I must’ve spent an entire evening wishlisting all my favourite things I was looking at buying over the past few months. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t really hopeful that anything would happen, I actually forgot about it for a couple of days.”
“I got the first email alert that my Jennifer Ouellette purple headscarf had dropped in price by 70%, and I was blown away! I couldn’t believe it, I had been checking that scarf on and off for months now, waiting for it to come down in price from £70.”
“A few days later I got another Price Drop Alert for my Joules Eve jacket, which I wanted at the start of Autumn, it was £55 off in the Black Friday sales.”
“The alerts then came around like London buses. I got alerted that my super comfortable Summits Skechers had a Black Friday discount of £25, and the mustard grab bag I wanted from brand Lunar was now discounted by 58%.”
“I even got an alert that the Dune faux fur lined tote bag I’d been looking at got a £32 Black Friday discount, and better yet I nabbed the last one before it sold out.”
“I’ve been burned on previous Black Fridays with items I’ve wanted selling out, or not knowing where the deals were going to be. I literally thought this Black Friday I would be like a headless chicken, frantically checking my wishlist every minute to see if anything had dropped in price. Now I can sit back with a glass of wine, my slippers on and wait to see if anything else I shortlisted drops in price over Black Friday.”

We’ve spent the previous 6 Black Friday’s perfecting a tool that does all the work for you! The average Black Friday shopper will cut their BF spend in half using this tool. It’s great to see mums like Cecile treating themselves already, and scooping up the millions of Black Friday price drops happening right now!”
