If you’re looking to tick off items from your shopping list ahead of Christmas, Black Friday and Cyber Monday should be on your radar. As part of the biggest sale of the year, retailers pull out all the stops – including Argos.
From tech and home appliances to beauty, fashion and mattresses, the mammoth event (which kicks off on 24 November) sees savings on everything from air fryers and power tools to dehumidifiers and vacuum cleaners.
Whether you’re looking for a larger item with a more purse-friendly price or fancy nabbing a surprise sale find, Argos is known for delivering stellar savings. It’s currently offering a price promise, so the price of an item with the green badge will not go lower before 1 January, so keep an eye out when browsing the website.
Home to big-name brands such as Ninja, Shark and Dyson, as well as popular products such as Apple AirPods, hair straighteners and gaming gear, the one-stop shop is well worth a browse.
Here’s everything you need to know about Argos’s Black Friday 2023 sale, including the deals available right now.

When is Black Friday 2023 in the UK?
Black Friday takes place in November each year, on the day after the US holiday Thanksgiving. Last year, it kicked off on 25 November. In 2023, it will take place from Friday 24 November through to Monday 27 November (Cyber Monday).
When will Argos’s Black Friday sale start?
Last year, Argos launched its Black Friday sale weeks before the main event and continued to drop deals right up to Cyber Monday. As for this year, the retailer has added some information on its website, sharing “we'll have great deals in the run-up to the big day on 24 November 2023.” Some items have already been marked down in price.
What deals can we expect from Argos in this year’s sale?
A go-to for everything from toys and tech to beauty and home appliances, Argos’s deals span nearly every category – meaning it rivals Amazon as a one-stop shop for all your needs. If previous years are anything to go by, we can look forward to big savings on home appliance brands such as Shark, Ninja and Dyson, as well as savings from toy companies such as Lego and Mattel.
Plus, Argos stocks big-ticket tech brands, including Samsung, Apple and Sony, so we can expect discounts on pricier items, too.
