What is Black Friday?

If this is set to be your first Black Friday shopping experience, you’re in for a fantastic treat. What began in the US as a one-day sale is now a global phenomenon, with discounts so big you can save hundreds of pounds.

Every year, more and more retailers take part. Apple, Dyson, Shark, KitchenAid, LG, Nintendo, Asos, Flannels and Sky lead the savings, but last year Gymshark, Lululemon, Pandora, Hotel Chocolat, Ugg, Philips and Dr Martens joined the roster.

To find out who is taking part this year, read our extensive guide to the brands and retailers that offered huge discounts last year.

When did Currys Black Friday 2022 sale start?

Instead of announcing a date for when its Black Friday sale would begin, Currys went right ahead and kicked off deals on 2 November. The shop says prices on hundreds of products have been reduced by up to 40 per cent, and there’s a deal that includes six months of free access to Apple TV+ with every qualifying purchase.

According to Currys, in 2021 it had over 10 million more online visitors across the Black Friday weekend than in 2019, and the busiest times on-site were 9am and 12pm. It also revealed there was an average of 118 orders per minute, so you’ll need to be quick to ensure you don’t lose out on amazing deals.

As an extra perk for Black Friday shoppers, Currys will also continue to offer free delivery on all orders over £40, with no cut-off time.

When does Black Friday end at Currys?

The Black Friday sale at Currys will technically finish on Sunday 27 November, but don’t fret, as the deals won’t stop there.

The retailer has confirmed its Cyber Monday sale – the last day of discounts before Christmas – will take place on 28 November, so you’ll have a whole extra day to bag plenty of bargains.

The best Currys Black Friday 2022 shopping tips

The magnitude of Black Friday can be overwhelming, so before you start shopping, there are a few things you can do to ensure you don’t end up spending money on products you may not need.
