When is Black Friday?
Traditionally the major shopping event takes place on the last weekend of November – and after the American holiday, Thanksgiving.
This year, that falls on November 24 with massive offers and discounts happening over the weekend, and finishing on Cyber Monday, November 27.
As the name suggests, this is an online only event – though some stores may also keep the sales coming until the following week, as we ramp up the Christmas spirit and shopping period.
When are the best Black Friday deals available?
Many brands like to keep their plans top secret until the actual date, but you’ll be pleased to know that quite a few major retailers have already set pre-Black Friday deals live already.
John Lewis, Argos, Currys and Ninja are just a few that have hit the button – tempting customers in with some super savings.
For those who want to wait for a real bargain, there’s not long to go – so why not get a ‘wishlist’ of items together, and avoid disappointment?
