When is Black Friday?
Officially, Black Friday typically lands on the last Friday of November, so this year’s Black Friday is the 27th.

Black Friday Tips and Tricks
Make the most of Black Friday 2020 with some of our favourite Black Friday tips and tricks.
1. Wake Up Early!
Setting an alarm on Black Friday is definitely one of the best things you can do to ensure you're not late for sales! You’re up against thousands of spend-happy shoppers who will be just as desperate to score some of the best black Friday deals UK, so make sure you get a head start. Sure you don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn, but waking up early will give you first dibs on all those amazing discounts, especially since they’re usually in limited quantities.
2. Research the Best Deals
Read our blog on the best Black Friday deals yet? Definitely check it out, girl. No savvy shopper got lucky without doing a little bit of research. You should expect to come across LOTS of Black Friday deals from now until the end of the month, but not all of them are as good as they seem. To get the best offers and secure the cheapest deals, we recommend comparing those price tags to really help you bag the lowest price.
3. Use Your Student Discount
Lucky enough to be a student? Make the most of your student status and apply that student discount wherever the f*ck you can. Again, research could really help you with this one. Find out which stores already offer student discounts and narrow down those that are allowing this to be applied on top of Black Friday deals. If you’re not a student (sorry, huns) then don’t worry, as browser apps such as Honey can help you secure an even greater deal. Honey will let you know at the checkout whether you’ve missed any important deals that can be used to really make those savings feel mega.
4. Set a Budget
Whilst Black Friday is great and all, we’re not ignorant to the fact that we are in a recession and money, for one, is no doubt tight for many. Yes, it’s a great opportunity to bag a few Christmas presents and save a few pounds, but it’s also possible to get carried away. Setting a budget can help you shop within your means and avoid entering that overdraft with no doubt hefty charges. Knowing what you want to buy can really help manage your money and eliminate the temptation to impulsively spend cash on other things.
Feeling ready? Whether you’re looking for Black Friday clothing deals, or just want to know a few Black Friday offers to help you stock up on presents for the fam, the main thing is to have fun! Enjoy the deals and treat yourself!
