Black Friday Weekend and Cyber Monday 2023: Dates to Remember

Black Friday 2023 marks a significant occasion for those seeking discounts, characterized by extensive lines at shopping centres and colossal virtual sales. It provides an excellent opportunity to secure some pre-Christmas bargains.

Originating from the United States, this substantial shopping phenomenon is now celebrated in the UK as well as globally, with countless brands and retailers participating.

Given the multitude of participating brands, prices become competitive. However, discerning whether you're actually securing a worthwhile deal can be challenging.

In the UK, the evolving cost of living crisis is transforming shopping habits.

Therefore, the forthcoming Black Friday needs to present substantial savings on coveted brands to achieve success. But what date does Black Friday 2023 fall on and what deals are predicted?

OK! provides all the necessary information regarding this year's Black Friday weekend.

Typically observed on the last Friday of November, Black Friday this year will fall on Friday the 24th of November.

The discounts will continue throughout the entire weekend, including Saturday the 25th of November and Sunday the 26th of November.

Major retailers such as Amazon and Sky frequently commence their Black Friday sales on their websites several days or even a week prior to the actual sale.

In 2022, Black Friday was celebrated on Friday, November 22. The sales generally started early and extended into the following week. This event is typically followed up by Cyber Monday.

Cyber Monday traditionally takes place the Monday following Black Friday. Therefore, this year it falls on Monday the 27th of November 2023.

This 24-hour digital shopping event is customarily tech-focused. However, an increasing number of fashion and beauty retailers are offering exclusive deals and discounts on this day as well.

In the UK, Cyber Monday generally outshines Black Friday, with retailers populating their websites with myriad offers until midnight.

The majority of UK shops participate in the Black Friday sale, inclusive of supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco, who provide discounts in designated sections and double deals for Clubcard members.

Among the most significant online shops participating in the sale is Amazon. Depending on what you're seeking, other excellent deals can be found at retailers such as Currys, Sky, BT, Boots, PrettyLittleThing, and beyond.

While UK customers typically do their Black Friday shopping online, some individuals wait in line outside physical stores like the Apple store and Next from the early hours, especially if substantial discounts on in-demand items are being offered.

OK! will offer updates on this page regarding where the best Black Friday deals can be located.

While the temptation to make multiple purchases on the day is common, it's essential to first verify whether you're truly receiving good value for your money.
