With this in mind, it feels a little confusing, overwhelming and, frankly, annoying to navigate, especially as so many companies will be pestering you already with their savings.
In fact, a study conducted by Currys this year found that 57% of Brits feel sceptical about discounts offered during Black Friday, and 65% think it’s a straight-up ‘con’.
However, there is treasure to be found on the big day. So, to help, we’ve written up a useful guide explaining all the key dates around when Black Friday starts and ends, as well as the date of Cyber Monday. We’ve also explained when most retailers start and end their savings, and put together a mega (really, it’s huge) list of trusted retailers currently running their sales.
