What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is an American tradition that starts after Thanksgiving and originated as a one-day event, but now spans over the entire weekend – at the end of November.

It usually starts on the last Friday of the month and continues over to Monday, which is also known as Cyber Monday.

It gives shoppers looking for a bargain the perfect chance to purchase presents for loved ones and pop an item in their baskets for themselves – but at a lower price than usual.

What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

To be honest? Not that much, but the super sale starts on the Friday – with deals taking place over the weekend, and finishing online (only) Monday.

Historically the best deals for tech items and your traditional home appliances are best on the Friday, whereas smaller items like fashion, beauty and toys are at, sometimes, the lowest price on Monday. It’s also worth noting that as the name suggests, Cyber Monday is only online – so you won’t be able to shop anything else in stores.

So if you’re looking for a new TV, fridge-freezer or just a beauty gift set it might be worth making a note about that, especially if you have multiple people to buy for.

Best shopping tips for Black Friday?

As tempting as it might be, it’s worth having an idea in mind of what you need and want.

Sure, a new pair of shoes, brand new TV and juicer might be splurges you want to purchase – but maybe write down the people you need to buy for, create a budget and look at places that historically are on sale.

It’s also really handy to create a ‘wishlist’ of items you’ve perhaps had your eye on, and see if the price finally goes down over the shopping weekend.

What were the best deals last year, and will they be better this year?

Well as many would say, this year will probably be bigger and better than ever before – at least we’re hoping so for the sake of our wallets.

But with some big brands going live already, there’s already plenty that will wet your sales appetite for sure.
