After much anticipation, the year’s biggest shopping event is here. We’re not talking about the January sales or even the end-of-summer clearances. True bargain-hunters know that Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday surpass them all.
Set your expectations high: Argos is one retailer who can always be relied upon come Black Friday. The high street store goes to town on discounts, slashing prices across a swathe of categories, from home, electricals, furniture, kitchen tools, and fashion for all the family.
If you’re hoping to land a home bargain, keep an eye on the Habitat range where you can find design-led pieces for even less come the end of November.
The store will also bring back its Price Promise this year. Products tagged with this badge will not lower in price before Christmas, so you can shop with confidence knowing you’re getting the best price over the festive shopping season.
Argos is in good company when it comes to Black Friday sales: big retailers like Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, Boots and The White Company are all flexing their sales muscles. Find the cream of the crop in our dedicated section and Live Blog here.

Henry Quick Cordless
Best for: the latest model from an all-time favourite
The Henry Quick differs from your classic cordless in two significant ways. Firstly, it still uses bags and secondly, it doesn’t have a pesky filter that requires a delicate hand-wash every few weeks.
At present, the Henry Quick comes in two of the signature colours – red for Henry, and pink for Hetty - as well as a graphite hue without the characteristic face on the side for all you boring lot. It’s currently listed at an affordable price point which includes 26 free pods.
If there’s one thing that continues to amaze users about the Henry vacuum cleaners, it’s their capacity. Though the 1-litre capacity on the Henry Quick would at first seem to pale in comparison to the hefty 9 litres of a regular model, the Henry Quick is designed for domestic use. As a result, you’ll find that 1 litre is more than enough to get you through a fair few house cleans.

Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd gen)
The Echo Show 10 Second Generation is an Alexa smart speaker with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display and stereo speakers, making this an ideal gadget for movie lovers. The touchscreen is responsive and provides HD visuals.
Thanks to a built-in 13-megapixel camera, the Echo Show 10 allows you to make and receive video calls. And if you go on holiday or go out to run an errand, you can remotely access the device’s camera to check that everything is fine back at home. When you’re not using the camera, you can shut it using a sliding cover.
The Echo Show 8’s large, crisp display means it works great as a digital photo frame and for accessing recipes in the kitchen. There are two colours available: Glacier White Fabric and Charcoal Fabric. Something to bear in mind is that the Echo Show 10 is a bulky device, so it’s probably not ideal if you don’t have much shelf space.

When is Black Friday 2024?
The date shifts every year, so the easiest way to remember is that Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November. This year, that date was November 29.
When does Black Friday end?
The sales event isn’t a one-day-only affair. Deals will continue throughout the weekend until we reach Cyber Monday on the other side. Is this traditionally the day the sales will start wrapping up, although you might be able to find a few late deals if you’re really lucky.
Black Friday is considered officially over on December 2 this year.
Why is it called Black Friday?
It sounds a bit morbid, but the truth is the black of Black Friday comes from the traffic fumes that choked American streets when the shopping craze first took off there in the middle of the last century.
It’s a name that has stuck: the shopping event is held globally, despite its origins as a post-Thanksgiving sale in the US.
