Is the Tesco Black Friday available online?

STORE bosses urged to stamp out “Black Friday” chaos. There’s still time to vote, though, and your click in the box below could change things entirely!

At the Tesco Extra store, on Saville Street, Spital Hill, small crowds waited patiently to get a deal as the store opened its doors at 5am.

Why is it called Black Friday? .

Last year, Black Friday overtook Cyber Monday for the first time as Amazon.co.uk’s busiest day, when it sold more than 5.5 million items at a rate of 64 per second.

What retailers are involved this year? Indeed, a whopping 82%of those polled say the mayhem of last year’s event has put them off shopping in-store because they would feel unsafe.

Mr Masterson does not expect it to hit the heights of previous year, but is still hopeful the increased numbers through the doors will help kick off the shopping season. You could get lost in stuff previous year. Past year we just stumbled across it and there were riots. They’ll have more warning this year, but I’ll be amazed if they all hold up.

Hundreds of bargain hunters were gathering outside the store, as Tesco was one of the few retailers across the city and surrounding region to kick-off their Black Friday sales at one minute past midnight.

Discounts are expected on TVs, toys, games consoles and electrical goods. By going through those channels you will be sent notifications as to the latest deals.

Prices were slashed on electronic items from coffee machines to televisions.

Last year, fraud spiked on Black Friday and remained high throughout the festive period as crooks targeted the digitally naive. Last year, the company offered 30% off homeware and clothing and up to 20% off food – both online and in-store. “I went looking for a bargain, I think I spent £400”.

For example, Homebase spread its Black Friday sale over 10 days, while USA retailer Macy’s started its sale yesterday.

The American-owned giant said on its website it chose not to take part in Black Friday after listening to its customers, and was instead running a series of offers in the run up to Christmas.
