Black Friday is one of the biggest sales events of the year. It takes place annually on the first Friday following the US Thanksgiving holiday. This year, that day is 25 November.
Black Friday is synonymous with online shopping, meaning you aren't missing out if you choose to stay home. Expect big savings on tech, fashion, homewares, appliances, beauty and just about any other product category you can think of.
Another date to keep in mind is 28 November, which is Cyber Monday. The proximity of these 2 dates means many retailers are sure to keep sales running all weekend long. You can look forward to the whole second half of November as a time to save big on your dream products.
