How many days until Black Friday?

What Black Friday means for UK shoppers

Black Friday is the Friday after US Thanksgiving, and it has become one of the biggest retail days in the UK too, with many deals now running for the whole week or even the whole of November. Prices are not always as low as the signs suggest, so it helps to note the normal price of anything you want a few weeks beforehand and compare it with the "deal" price. Check the return policy, watch out for sold-out lead-in offers, and set a firm budget before you start browsing. Price-tracking tools and comparing at least two retailers will catch most inflated discounts. Cyber Monday follows three days later and tends to focus on electronics and online-only offers.
