We’ve run down the list of major UK retailers with Black Friday deals now live.
The shopping extravaganza takes place this year on Friday November 26.
You can keep an eye on all our Black Friday coverage to stay up to date with the biggest discounts available at Tesco, Argos and even Butlin’s.
Other big brands touting Black Friday deals include Skims, Amazon and ASOS.
But not all the offers promoted as part of Black Friday are as good as they sound.
Make sure you shop around and compare prices before buying.
Which? magazine found 187 of 201 products sold by Currys, Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, AO.com and Richer Sounds last year cost the same or more on Black Friday than they did in the months before.
And 99% of 201 products checked were cheaper or the same price in the months after Black Friday – meaning shoppers could sometimes save by waiting for prices to fall.
Experts have been reminding shoppers that something is only a discount if you were planning to buy it anyway.
You can always use the chance to sell instead – and rack up hundreds of pounds from old gadgets you never expected were worth something.
But if you’re going into Black Friday with spending in mind, here’s our list of the major retailers offering discounts ahead of the deals day.
