BUDGET chain Aldi is set to once again take part in Black Friday this November.
Last year marked the first time the chain official took part in the huge sale bonanza, with a slew of tech focused price cuts to entice shoppers.
Aldi fans were able to flock online to pick up savings on the Nintendo Switch console, which was slashed to £229.99, along with other coveted tech items ahead of the festive season. But can we expect this year?
What deals to expect in the Aldi Black Friday 2021 sale?
It’s likely that Aldi will once again promote deals in an online-only sale rather than in stores during Black Friday.
Like last year, it is highly likely Aldi will offer a curated list of standout deals that will go live the morning of Black Friday and remain available while stocks last.
Shoppers will be able to browse all the deals on a dedicated Aldi Black Friday deals page – making it easy for bargain-hunters to snap up the very best offers as early as possible.
But remember, just because items are in a Black Friday sale doesn’t mean you can’t find them cheaper elsewhere.
Always do your research and shop around to ensure you’re getting the very best deal.
So far the budget chain has remained tight lipped over what categories might be included in the price cuts, or whether it will choose to focus on tech again this year.
But we will be updating this page regularly with the latest news and announcements, so make sure you check back ahead of November.
You can also stay up to date with all the latest news by checking our full guide on everything you need to know about Black Friday ahead of the big day.
When will Aldi Black Friday 2021 deals go live?
This year Black Friday officially takes place on November 26 and we predict Aldi deals will go live on this date.
Last year, despite teasing what offers would be available ahead of the sale, the retailer opted to make the online savings only available to shop on the official date through a dedicated Black Friday page.
When is Black Friday 2021?
Black Friday always falls the day after the American Thanksgiving holiday, which is always on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year Black Friday will take place on November 26.
Over the last few years many retailers have chosen to release early deals in the weeks before the big day, so shoppers wanting to start their sale shopping early should make sure they check in on announcements from key retailers at the start of November.
When is Cyber Monday 2021 and will Aldi take part?
Cyber Monday is the online only sale event following Black Friday and this year it takes place on November 29.
Previously Aldi has not released specific deals for Cyber Monday, but many Black Friday deals continue to be available while stocks last.
Shoppers keen to pick up bargains from the budget chain can also shop the Aldi Specialbuys on offer that week too. But these items are also only available while stocks last
