When is Black Friday 2022 in the UK?
Black Friday 2022 officially kicked off on 25 November and ran across the entire weekend. It originally began in the US as a one-day sale after Thanksgiving, to mark the start of the Christmas shopping season, but has since expanded across the Atlantic.
However, in a bid to stay competitive, retailers and brands have often unveiled deals weeks before, with offers launching earlier and earlier every year. This year, we saw the likes of Boots, Dyson and Currys slash prices across popular products well before the big day itself.
When is Cyber Monday 2022?
Cyber Monday is the name given to the final day of the sale, which was Monday 28 November this year. It’s often your last opportunity to score some savings before the Boxing Day sales, however, some retailers and brands extend their offers beyond Cyber Monday.
Don’t worry about trawling through hundreds of pages of deals, our team of experts will be spotlighting the biggest and best offers that are still available post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
