Like Halloween and high school proms, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are American traditions that now seem firmly embedded in the life of our rainy island nation.
It’s not hard to see why the retail bonanzas caught on. Us Brits love a bargain, after all. And as the outbreak of open warfare at supermarkets of previous years testifies, some of us are even prepared to risk serious injury to get one.
It doesn’t have to be that way, though. A lot of the best bargains can be had online. Where there’s no danger of personal harm, it’s nice and warm and there’s very likely a nice brew on the go.
And to make your life even easier, we’re going to highlight the best deals on Uswitch, Amazon and other high-street retailers right here. We’ll be focussing specifically on mobile phones, accessories and gadgets. Because that’s what we know at Uswitch Tech.
Until the deals are announced and we’ve got something to share with you, here’s the information you need to make sure you’re ready for the big day.
When is Black Friday 2017?
Sooner than you think. This year’s event is happening on November 24th. So if you’re really in the mood to clean up and tick everything off your Xmas lists, you may want to book the day off now.
When is Cyber Monday 2017?
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday. So that’s 27th November.
