If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Waterstones Black Friday deals on selected items
Incl 50% off popular titles. Online only. Not that impressive
ExpiredGo online to Waterstones* and you'll find discounts of up to 50% off selected items as part of its Black Friday sale, until 11.59pm on Tue 28 Nov. Delivery's £2.75, and the discount's only online, not in stores.
Waterstones told us there will also be 'huge discounts' across a range of bestsellers. Items included will be clearly marked and the discount applied automatically at the checkout, so there's no need for a code.
Examples of discounts we found at 12pm on Thu 23 Nov include (don't forget to add delivery):
- Jamie Oliver's 5 Ingredients - Quick & Easy recipe book* - £13 (was £26). Cheaper elsewhere, £10.99 at Amazon*.
- Origin, by Dan Brown* - £10 (was £20). We found this price-matched at Amazon and The Book Depository.
All in all, most of the items we found were either price-matched or cheaper elsewhere - so, as ever, it's worth doing your own price-comparisons before you buy.
Important: Don't allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don't need or can't afford. And always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don't just take a retailer's word for it.

Cheapest 'Harry Potter & Cursed Child' book
£10 at Tesco Direct, Amazon, Waterstones & more
Expired
With just over a week to go until Harry Potter & The Cursed Child: Parts 1 & 2 officially opens in London's West End, there's still time to pre-order a copy of the 350-page script book from the play by Jack Thorne (based on an original story by Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling).It'll likely to be popular, so pre-ordering makes sense if you want to read it as soon as it's released (Sun 31 Jul - Harry's birthday). Prices range from £10-£20, so we've rounded up the cheapest places to get it below.
Cheapest places to pre-order the Cursed Child script book:

Amazon* £10, free delivery. Or £9.99 for the Kindle Edition* (e-book).
Smyths Toys* £9.99, delivery £2.99 or collect from a store for free (find your nearest*).

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.

Received car finance mis-selling compensation out of the blue? It DOESN'T stop you complaining about the latest scandal

When will your student loan be written off, cancelled, or paid off?

This information has been a long-term part of my Should I repay my student loan? guide (where...
