There are several discount shopping events throughout the year that we all keep an eye on, from Amazon Prime Day to Boxing Day sales.
However, there is one sale that many bargain hunters consider to be better than all the rest: Black Friday.
When is Black Friday 2020 in the UK?
Originally Black Friday lasted for only one day – the last Friday in November – but in recent years this has been expanded.
This year, Black Friday will fall on Friday 27 November and the event will run over the weekend until 30 November, which is known as Cyber Monday.
Last year Amazon’s sale ran for a massive two weeks and this year the retailer has graced us with an early Black Friday sale, which is already live.
Multiple other retailers are also expected to run a month long Black Friday sale, with Boots having also already launched some Black Friday discounts.
What is Black Friday?
The event originated in the US, with shops offering discounts the day after Thanksgiving.
Since Amazon brought the event online in the UK in 2010, it has overtaken other big annual sale events like Boxing Day and the January sales.
Why, you ask?
Well, a huge range of retailers have got onboard with Black Friday and slash their prices on big ticket items like TVs, sofas and coffee machines. So it's the best time of the year to find a deal, and of course, an ideal opportunity to get your Christmas presents sorted.
