Have I been searching for bargains this week or what?

This lightweight, showerproof jacket is perfect for the summer. It can be folded up into itself and stored away like the old pack-a-mac you used to have as a kid.

Maybe that was just me.

Available in sizes small, medium, large and XL and also in a bright yellow/black colour combo.

This Analog Team Player Lightweight Jacket is £25 reduced from £50 and shipping is £3.

Anzi Trapy – is an online store selling loads of retro sports gear including a few exclusives.

That’s another competition done and dusted. Special thanks to Sunglasses Shop for sponsoring the latest one with three pairs of Nueu sunglasses.

I did the usual high-tech method of writing everyone’s name done on paper, cutting them out, screwing them up and then sticking them in a coffee mug to draw out.

The three winners were notified on Friday night and so they’ll shortly be looking slightly out of place by wearing a cool pair of shades in the wind and rain. It ain’t easy being fashionable people!

Thanks again to Daniel and Sunglasses Shop for giving us the illusion of summer by giving away some sunglasses, maybe the winners will get some use out of them by going abroad.

Got contacted by Lee who’s representing Joe Bloggs and said I should check out their new range.

I kinda forgot about Joe Bloggs, weren’t their jeans the big thing in the early 90’s?

They’ve got a wide range of men’s tshirts and some shirts and jeans. I think the grey tshirt here is my favourite. The best thing is the prices on the Joe Bloggs site, they’re pretty reasonable. This grey “San Luis” tshirt is a snip at only £12.

The best thing is that Joe Bloggs have also given us smart geezers an exclusive discount code so you can get an extra 10% off. Just use the code – smartgeezer- at the checkout.

So check out the Joe Bloggs online store today.

After having a long lie-in to recover from the night before, I went through the comments, the SmartGeezer Facebook group and the emails to put everyone’s name in the hat…well, it was an empty coffee mug.

I gave it a good shake, shut my eyes and drew out Lawrence!

I sent the young fella an email letting him know of the ecstatic news that he’d just won a tshirt from Gouldy’s and he replied with a simple but succinct, “quality mate!”.

Lawrence took full advantage of the bonus round by sending me an email with the answer to the question, so he had two names in the mug.

So Gouldy’s is going to send Lawrence one of these blue tshirts and let me tell you, there won’t be any disappointment, it’s a very good little runner.

Thanks to everyone that entered, I’ll try and get another competition up sooner rather than later.

Remember to check out www.gouldys.co.uk kids!

Saturday 24th November is international ‘Buy Nothing Day’. Why the 24th? Buy Nothing Day in the US is the day after Thanksgiving, which is the last Thursday of November, and is the busiest shopping day of the year over there. This year the 23rd is the day after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving doesn’t mean much to the rest of us so having it on the following Saturday is a bit strange to me, why not have it on Boxing Day over here?

Anyway, I think it’s a good idea. The hippy, put-tin-foil-on-your-head conspiracy stuff about corporations taking over the world is a stretch for me but I like the idea of highlighting one day to not shop or consume. I mean, I don’t shop everyday, so it’s not going to be hardwork for me but the fact it raises awareness about excessive consumption and becoming too focused on material possessions is a good thing.

Like Remembrance Sunday, take a moment to think about things, then on the stroke of midnight hit the internet with your credit card like the apocalypse is coming and prices have been slashed for the last time!
