Friday 27th November, 2015. Black Friday 2015 is here – where to find the best deals?
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday first arrived in the UK five years ago when Amazon thought it would try its luck bringing the shopping sensation to a new market. In 2013, Asda, which is owned by American retail giant Walmart, participated in UK’s version of Black Friday, and last year most major UK retailers including John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Argos and even British Airways jumped on board.
This year, internet sales over the 24-hour period are expected to surpass £1bn for the first time in UK history. Ebay said it anticipates 9 million Brits will visit its website on Black Friday, buying 25 items every second.
Don’t get caught up in the scuffles: here’s how to do Black Friday like a pro. And if you miss out, there’s always Cyber Monday next week.
