It’s that time of year again, and Black Friday seems to begin earlier each year as retailers scramble to get people to part with their cash as quickly as possible. Some deals are good, but are only valid while stocks last or for a day, so how can you decide whether to buy or wait and see if there is a better deal? The best thing to do, is look at what you will use, or what you know you can give as a gift because buying for the sake of a good deal means often items stashed in a drawer or getting sold on eBay.
Last year saw some retailers change their strategy midweek in order to compete with other companies, abandoning daily deals and just putting them all out due to customer complaints, plus the fact that if people find a better deal then they cancel or return the item and them just reorder. Remember, any sales done over the phone or by email, you may cancel within 14 days in the UK by law, and retailers would be wise to offer good deals and avoid a multitude of returns or cancellations which take up time and cost more in the long run in regards to staff costs.
Here are some of the latest Black Friday deals, and the page will be updated whenever possible, and don’t forget, offers are subject to availability and can be withdrawn at any time.
