BLACK Friday sales could start as early as three weeks before the day itself, deals experts predict.
One of the biggest shopping days of the year officially takes place on Friday November 26 this year.
But many retailers now stretch their Black Friday discounts and deals over days or even weeks around this time.
Shoppers are worried that deals could be harder to find this year though, as many retailers are struggling with supply issues, driver shortages and aisles of empty shelves.
Retailers have insisted it will be business as usual and and we’ve shared top tips for where you’ll be able to bag the best bargain this sale season.
Now deals website Money Saver Online has revealed its predictions for when top retailers will start their Black Friday deals on items ranging from toys and clothes, to beauty and electricals.
The sale start dates are based on last year’s sales as well as insider information.
Of course, they are just guesses, but they can give you a good idea for when you can start planning your bargain hunting, especially with Christmas not far off.
We will also keep you updated with all the latest discounts at the top retailers as they are announced.
Always check you’re getting the best deal too – just because it’s in the Black Friday sale doesn’t mean you’re getting the best price.
You can use a comparison site like Google Shopping, Price Spy, Idealo or CamelCamelCamel to find which shop is selling an item at the cheapest price.
The earliest Black Friday sale is expected to start at Very on November 5.
Highlights of Very’s Black Friday sale last year included £129 off the popular Shark Anti Hair Wrap Vacuum Cleaner, Nike Air Max 90 trainers from £65 and Apple AirPods with charging case for £159.
