Argos is yet to announce their Black Friday deals, although other retailers have kicked off early.

Shoppers looking for a new iPhone or Xbox managed to snap up those coveted buys for less in Argos’ Black Friday sale last year – and we’re expecting prices to be slashed across technology, homewares, toys and more once again this year in Argos’ Black Friday sale 2020.

Retailers will all have tons of deals on during the sales period, so check the likes of Amazon, Currys PC World, AO and others to make sure you’re getting the best prices on electronics.

Price comparison sites can’t always keep up with the rapidly-updating deals, so it’s worth doing a bit of manual digging to make sure you get a bargain.

Be sure to shop around to get the best deal on Black Friday sales. You may be able to find the same product cheaper elsewhere.

When is Black Friday 2020?

Black Friday will be taking place on November 27 this year.

An easy way to remember the date is to know that Black Friday always falls the day after the US holiday Thanksgiving, which happens on the last Thursday in November.

Shoppers looking for deals can often start saving in the weeks ahead of the big shopping day – and afterwards, too. Sales often last through Cyber Monday, which is on November 30 this year.

When is Cyber Monday and will Argos be taking part?

This year’s Cyber Monday falls on November 30, and Argos has already confirmed that it will be taking part on its Black Friday holding page.

As the online-only arm of Black Friday, Cyber Monday is a great chance for shoppers to pick up deals if they missed out on the Friday, so keep an eye on this page for more updates.
