Black Friday Deals Start NINE Days Early
Some of Britain’s biggest retailers have started their Black Friday deals over a week early, and are planning on running the deals for weeks.
The American holiday savings event has become popular in the UK in recent years, last year an estimated £5.8 BILLION was spent in the four days between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Latest Deals have taken a look at what retailers are offering before the big day
Amazon
Amazon is one of the most highly anticipated stores for Black Friday, and has started its savings earlier than expected, with it’s own brand products going on sale a day ahead of other brands.
From today, shoppers will be able to get sought after Amazon products, like an Amazon Echo for only £69.99, £20 off it’s original price.
As well as deals on tech products, the sale has extended to Amazon music.
The service, which is usually £7.99 a month, will now only be 99p for the first three months, if customers sign up today.
The offer is both part of Black Friday, as well as to celebrate a year of the service running.
But there’s a catch to Amazon’s early deals- they will only be available until midnight on the 15th, so shoppers will have to get in early to not miss out.
After this, Amazon’s other Black Friday deals will start, such as ‘lightning deals’, where products will be discounted for a limited amount of time, and can happen as often as every 5 minutes.
Amazon Prime members will also get exclusive early access to these deals.
Amazon also released a TV advert to promote their savings event.
The retailer, which normally is only available online, is also launching its first ever pop-up in Soho, London.
This will run over four days, from the 21st until Black Friday on the 24th, and has been described as a “Black friday experience pop-up”.
