Only a few slightly hi-fi related ones spotted so far.
Chromecast Audio gadgets are back down to £15 at both Tescos and Currys.
Now TV! boxes may be available with various Sky packages from £14 to around £30 depending on the package. Various suppliers, including Tescos.
I ordered a Chromecast Audio from Currys, as it might enable me to listen to music from the far end of the living room, rather than having to plug in the optical cable to my DAC.
There's also an Adobe software bundle of Photoshop Elements 15 and Premiere Elements 15 at Amazon for around £51. Last year I bought the bundle of version 14, so no need for me to order a new one I think. Also, it was a bit of a pain, as I had to update all my system software on the two machines I installed it on in order to get it to run. The newer version may have the same issue, possibly with both Windows and Macs - though otherwise it's quite good value. In fact, although I had the discs, I still had to download the sofware, as the discs didn't work, but I do have the codes etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/he7/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-15-Premiere-PC/B01JG87900
One last thing re Photoshop (also Lightroom) - there is a very good now Free package bundle from Google, called the Nik Collection which works with Photoshop and Lightroom. Well worth downloading that package - suitable for anyone who is even moderately keen on photography - https://www.google.com/nikcollection/
