Black Friday top tips for shopping

Black Friday, a day which falls on November 27 this time around, saw Britons spend an astonishing £810 million online past year, before forking out another £720 million three days later on what’s known as Cyber Monday.

While Asda, the Walmart-owned cheerleader of Black Friday has pulled out of the day after a few of the chaotic scenes it witnessed twelve months ago, the likes of Amazon and Argos are going big already.

Black Friday madness is beginning early this year. This deal brings down the price of the Kindle down to $49.99 from $79.99. They have no plans to make alterations to standard arrangements in terms of managing customer flow and service. Deals are yet to be revealed.

Best Buy has advertised the same Fire deal in the Best Buy Black Friday 2015 Ad.

As ever, there’ll be the usual “lightning deals”, where deals will appear for a limited time, and they’ll also have a “deals of the day” section, with items available at knock-down prices for 24 hours.

This year, the e-retailer will also feature deals from hundreds of UK-based Amazon Marketplace sellers, in a bid to provide customers with a larger selection of discounted products.

Argos has launched its Red, White and Blue Fridays in the run up to Black Friday.

Stores will close between 10pm and 12am to allow additional time for setting up, before opening at midnight (excluding stores which open at 6am).

But the supermarket said that shoppers now don’t want to be held “hostage” to one single day of sales and that fatigue had set in around the event.

The company tends to keep details of deals and promotions top secret until the very last minute but expect discounts on everything from the new iPad Air 2, MacBook, iMac to a whole range of accessories as well.

Needless to say, you won’t find any Chromecast’s for sale at the retailer during Black Friday this year.
