The year’s biggest shopping event is almost upon us. 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.
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 is 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 hung around and travelled across the world: the shopping event is held globally, despite its origins as a post-Thanksgiving sale in the US.
What Argos deals can we expect?
Set your expectations high: Argos is one retailer who can always be relied upon to meet them on Black Friday. The high street favourite goes to town on discounts, cutting 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.

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.
