Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now nearly upon us with retailers like Amazon, Currys, PC World, GAME, John Lewis and even Apple getting behind the global online sale.
Whether you’re after a new 4K TV, Xbox One or PlayStation 4 the next two weeks will be the perfect time to treat yourself.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday will take place on the 25 November, however some retailers like Amazon have chosen to extend the sale into a two week event.
Most of the UK retailers however like Currys, Game and John Lewis have confirmed that they will be holding a one day event that will take place both in store and online.
Black Friday 2015 might have felt subdued compared to the chaos that was 2014 but don’t be under any illusions, it was still the largest sales event of the year.
Currys reported an astonishing 30 TVs being sold every single minute, while orders were up 2900 per cent compared to the same time last week.

Which shops are taking part in Black Friday?
Amazon
Amazon’s Black Friday event has already started. With a mixture of long term deals and Lightning Deals which expire at the end of the day the company is celebrating Black Friday for two whole weeks.
Research is key though, some deals will only last for an hour or so and then return to their original pre-sale price. If you’re a Prime member you’ll also get access to some of these deals early.
If you don’t mind buying something that has already been opened, Amazon Warehouse might be the second stop for you. With literally thousands of products from TVs to blenders there’s an immediate 10 per cent discount and potentially more as well.
Here’s just a few of the deals we’ve found so far:
Amazon Product Deals
As part of Amazon’s daily deals the company is offering some major discounts on its own products.
Monday’s deal was a massive £30 off one of its most popular eReaders the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. About as thick as a pen and sporting a high-resolution 300dpi backlit display this is the ultimate Kindle for those that like reading it on the commute.
Tuesday sees Amazon selling its brand-new Dash buttons for just £0.99 instead of the usual £4.99. These little WiFi-powered buttons can order you replacements for all your household essentials with just the push of a button. What’s even better is that you’ll still get the same £4.99 discount that Amazon was offering on your first Dash purchase.
