Cards ready, buyers. The run-up to Black Friday 2020 is upon us and if the last few months of sales are anything to go by, it’s time to prepare for the best and biggest deals of the decade.
While the Black Friday event officially kicks off on November 27, retailers are way ahead of the curve this year, with some already offering discounts.
In true Black Friday tradition, we expect to see deals for almost everything you could be saving; cell phones, washing machines, headphones, holidays, and all the Christmas gifts you may want to give yourself (or others) this year.
But unlike in previous years, this year’s sales will be completely online, thanks to the second lockdown, which has closed all “non-essential” stores for the rest of the month.
As always, The Telegraph will not only select the highlights from a huge and growing selection of Black Friday retailers, but will also share the best last minute deals with you as they go live. The following, therefore, is our guide on how to find the best Black Friday deals, as well as a summary of those that are already available.
Where to find the best Black Friday deals
- Amazon’s Black Friday extravaganza, which has been so successful for the company that it alone brought CEO Jeff Bezos’ net worth to more than $ 100 billion in 2017, heavily promotes and discounts its private label products. Think virtual assistants, virtual books, and just about anything else that falls under the category of “technology.”
- TVs are a Black Friday staple and as their back-end technology becomes increasingly advanced, we expect OLED displays and next-gen models to be much more affordable during the shopping period.
- Apple isn’t known for discounting its famous products on Black Friday. However, this is not all bad news: Many mobile network providers are clamoring for demand by offering SIM-free iPhone and iPad deals, as well as greatly reduced monthly plans.
- Clothing retailers typically prefer store-wide and site-wide discounts (often around 20% for commercial brands and 10% for designers) to individual deals. This, however, makes them one of the only places to find great bargains on a store’s ‘extras’ such as accessories, household items, and gadgets that make them brilliant accessories to stockings.
- The PS4 and Xbox One ‘bundles’ (which include a console and some discounted games) are likely to be available everywhere game consoles are sold. The new PS5 is less so, but we imagine some retailers will lower their RRP a bit.
- As part of an effort to expand its audience beyond thrift lovers, eBay offers a variety of exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. In recent years, they have been especially generous with discounts on appliances.
- Novice and professional photographers alike are likely to save hundreds of pounds on camera and compact gear. Most large tech retailers will discount one or two flagship products in each category.
- Both John Lewis and Currys PC World match the price of many of their competitors’ best offerings, making Currys a one-stop-shop for technology and John Lewis a worthwhile destination for high-end products.
