Black Friday has officially landed in the UK – but with several conflicting information about what a good deal looks like, it’s hard to know what to choose.
Thousands of Brits will have their email inboxes flooded with information on sales and their favourite products going into sales. Some experts claim the sales are too good to be true, with several retailers inflating the retail value for it to seem like a better deal. However, with Christmas around the corner, Black Friday can prove useful for picking up bargains for the big day, if you know where to look.
From TVs to kitchen appliances, the Daily Star have compiled a list to help you avoid the scams and bag the right gift – whether that be for yourself or a loved one this Christmas. Some products are part of our affiliates program, some are not.
