It comes after several major retailers including Ikea, The Range and Amazon slashed their prices ahead of Boxing Day sales.
Post-Christmas sales can be a great time to bag some end-of-year bargains and most shops take part.
If you’re just looking to take advantage of some major savings, there are lots to choose from.
Remember to write a list in advance, and always compare prices ahead of the sale to ensure you get your coveted items for the very best price.
And just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t always mean it’s a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Google Shopping, Price Spy and Idealo all let you compare the prices of products across a number of retailers to make sure that you’re not getting caught out.
