But it’s worth noting that just because a product is in a Black Friday sale, doesn’t mean you can find it, or something similar, cheaper elsewhere.
You should always shop around before parting with your cash because it may not be the best value.

When is Black Friday 2020?
Black Friday 2020 takes place on November 27.
It follows Thanksgiving in America, which occurs on the third Thursday of November, and sees stores across the pond slash prices the following day so people can bag incredible deals.
Offers usually continue over the weekend, now commonly referred to as Cyber Weekend and then onto Cyber Monday.
But sometimes retailers start sales a few days early, so make sure you keep an eye on Amazon’s website throughout the week, if not sooner.
Deals site Money Saver Online predicted that Amazon would start launching Black Friday deals from the end of October – and it was right.
What can we expect from Amazon’s Black Friday sale in 2020?
Amazon tends to put a large amount of its stock on sale during the annual event, with toys, homewares and health and fitness products all being slashed last year.
While Amazon hasn’t revealed what deals it will have in place for this year’s event, its Amazon Prime Day event – where Prime members get discounts on items across the website from October 13 to October 14 – is typically tech heavy.
Amazon told us that over Prime Day, there will be more than 1million deals going live globally from brands including Philips, Toshiba, Nescafe, Lego, Nintendo, Shark, Samsung, Under Armour, Sony, and Le Creuset.
This could mean that shoppers will also see heavy discounts on tech, kitchenware and toys during Black Friday sales too.
