The sale commences on the last Friday of November and continues until the following Monday, known as Cyber Monday. This term was created because traditionally, physical stores would conclude their discounts on this day, and online retailers would take over. Nowadays, most Black Friday sales are conducted online, although some retailers introduce new deals to mark the end of the weekend.

Originating in the US as a post-Thanksgiving tradition, Black Friday made its way to the UK in 2010 through Amazon's first-ever Black Friday sale. When is Black Friday 2024? This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29th, and lasts until Monday, December 2nd. However, it's worth noting that some retailers may start offering deals earlier in the month.

We've already seen early sales from brands such as Lego , Pavers , Grüum , Boots and John Lewis , which have unveiled some fantastic deals to check out..
