If you have patience, look on amazon at their deals. They, along with Very, Currys, John Lewis etc are likely to post deals. (I like John Lewis for their service)


Great website called pricespy.com which you can search for items and see the cheapest listed price. It's not always perfectly up to date, but it does give you a feel of market price.
Like I've searched for pizza makers just now (don't seem to have the betty crocker brand though).
https://pricespy.co.uk/c/pizza.....price

Another useful website is hotukdeals.com which people post deals they've found. There's all sorts of things on there, I usually just search for the item I'm looking for. Remember though to check the date that it was posted as it might be long out of date.


hoovers, not sure what you're looking for or your price range-

Actually, I read an interesting article on the BBC this morning, which pointed out that the vast majority of black Friday offers are not even particularly good prices. In the past few years, prices have often been lower in the weeks following black Friday.

Do your own research, but don't take special offers at face value.

Nearest we have to a betty crocker is called a Domo pizza maker. But lots of people I know prefer the Progress multi grill version cos it has temp control
Its usually £42.99 but just checked its currently £34.99 on amazon which is the cheapest I've ever seen it!

Thank you so much! I wonder which pizza makers are comparable to the Betty Crocker hype.

As for a Hoover I’m open to recommendations I feel like I bit a new one each year… should I go cheap and continue with that or get something that will hopefully last?

Cute wooden toys! Thanks for the link.

True point. I’m starting to look not but I’m not in a rush to purchase. The sales do last all season.

I tried the vax carpet cleaner and I loved it but it’s annoying because you always need to bend down.

Anyone has this? https://www.very.co.uk/bissell.....1.prd

Yes I just bought the Progress but not opened it yet! Lots of my friends have it and rave about it, same as Betty crocker. Its the same type of appliance, just the UK brand.
You use it same way as Betty crocker.
I'm looking forward to using mine, the only question is milky/parev/meaty!

I have the progress family multi grill. It's probably the only kitchen gadget I've bought that I actually use. We take it out at least once a week often more. Mine is milky so we make pizza, chips, all different types of eggs, we did s'mores one time, parev sausages and nuggets and also veg. It cooks really well and I prefer my kids use this than a pan on the fire. I think you'd be able to cook meaty type food in it as well. I see it as a mini oven and a large pan in one.

Be careful with this company. I personally wouldn't order from them. Read their terms and conditions throughly.

Hahaha! I want to have a juicer so badly to make veggie juice. But DH is getting me a big pot I want to make stew oh a Dutch Oven it's called in English. Not a giet ijzeren pan (Dutch). Anyhoo...sometimes you can ship things from the USA for a tenner that is what I did with a big Dutch oven and I'm so happy with Heart
