When is Black Friday 2024?
10:58 , Daisy LesterFalling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season. In fact, the first use of “Black Friday” in retail can be traced all the way back to the Fifties, when shops shifted from losses (in the red) to profits (in the black).
In the decades since, what started as a one-day sale has evolved into a four-day event (and, in some cases, a whole month of deals) that’s marked internationally and concludes on what is known as Cyber Monday.
This year, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (2 December).

Now, you can save even more money, thanks to early Black Friday deals. True to form, our team of shopping experts have rounded up the best heated clothes airer offers available:
