Black Friday has been and gone, but this is where we’ll bring you all the best deals throughout November 2024.
Originally an American shopping day taking place on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday then it made its way over to the UK in the early 2010s. It was thanks to Amazon at first.
But then the fever spread to other online retailers during the years afterwards. Some early pionners included Currys, John Lewis and Argos who still offer up some big savings during the onslaught of deals.

Initially, Black Friday deals took place in UK stores – notably the then-US-owned Asda. But the in-store deals have given way to their online counterparts. Cyber Monday developed as the online counterpart to Black Friday, but this has now less distinct and forms part of a longer deals period.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday 2024 takes place on Friday 29 November, the day after Thanksgiving in the US. Cyber Monday falls on the following Monday (that immediately follows Black Friday) so in 2024 it’ll be the 2 December.
