Originating in the United States, Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving and marks the start of the festive shopping season. This year, Black Friday falls on 29th November, making it the perfect time to start your Christmas shopping! In recent years, this shopping phenomenon has crossed the pond and is now a major event in the UK.
What once was a single-day shopping frenzy has now expanded into a week-long celebration of deals. Many retailers kick off their Black Friday sales earlier in the month, extending well beyond the designated Friday and often running until the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday. With both high street and online retailers joining in, Black Friday has become a prime opportunity to grab amazing deals.
The term “Black Friday” originates from the accounting tradition where businesses recorded losses in red ink and profits in black. This shift into the “black” signifies profitability, which is why the name persists even in today’s digital accounting world.
Navigating Black Friday can be challenging with countless retailers vying for your attention. To help you bag the best bargains, consumer organisation Which? has shared some essential tips:
According to Richard Headland, Editor-in-Chief at Which?, “During big shopping events like Black Friday, it can be easy to get overwhelmed by discounts, deals, and deductions. To get the best out of Black Friday, shoppers should do their research, form a plan, and stick to it.”
