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 back in October included LOL Surprise, Jack Daniels and Yankee Candle, as well as a massive 2.4kg box of Celebrations for just £13.
And it’s early Black Friday deals include this Oral B toothbrush and money off Amazon’s own Kindle ebook device.
This could mean that shoppers will also see heavy discounts on tech, kitchenware and toys during Black Friday sales too.
