Black Friday marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, offering massive discounts and deals.
The term “Black Friday” originated in the 1960s in the US. It referred to the point when retailers turned a profit, or went "in the black," after operating at a loss throughout the year.
Black Friday is synonymous with incredible deals, drawing millions of shoppers both online and offline. Retailers slash prices to attract customers, making it the perfect time to grab gadgets, fashion, and more at bargain prices.
Although it began in the US, Black Friday has become a major shopping day in the UK. From high street stores to e-commerce giants, everyone participates.
Pro Tip: Shop early and use price comparison tools to ensure you’re getting the best deals.
