BLACK Friday is fast approaching but Home Bargains is remaining tight-lipped over whether it plans to offer big discounts on the day or in the lead-up.
The sales event is taking part on November 29 this year.
But while the discount retailer hasn’t taken part in the shopping event in the past, it refused to rule it out when asked by The Sun.
So keep an eye on this page as we near the date to see what discount, if any, it might offer.
Home Bargains has yet to confirm if it’ll take part in Black Friday this year and it’s not done so in the past.
But it’s already known for offering cheap deals on top brands across items ranging from food to toys.
It does, however, already have deals on Christmas stocking fillers and gifts such as these Hot Wheels cars reduced by more than 60 per cent, and a Mini Mouse doll for under a tenner.
Meanwhile, if you need a sweet fix it has multipack deals on Cadbury’s selection boxes, Haribo sweets and M&Ms.
If you buy items online, Home Bargains charges 50p to deliver a small parcel, £3.49 for a medium parcel and £7.99 for a large parcel for the UK mainland, so you will need to factor that in to your shopping.
You could of course go to your local store, which you can find using its store locator tool.
IT might be tempting to dive in and snap up LOADS of items on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but here’s how you can guarantee you’re getting a good deal.
PREPARE Research the items you want to buy and find out the cheapest price. Websites like PriceSpy, PriceHistory and CamelCamelCamel will give you historical data on prices so you can see how much you should pay.
GET FOLLOWING Follow your favourite shops on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and sign up to its deals newsletter to get the latest on any offers. We post the best deals in our Sun Money FB group too.
EARN CASHBACK Check websites like Quidco and TopCashback BEFORE you place your order. Cashback websites PAY you to shop. All you have to do is click through their links and the money is added to your online account, usually within 14 days.
CHECK FOR CODES Take a look at The Sun Vouchers, and see if you can get extra savings with discount codes.
The Black Friday tradition first started in America when retailers offered huge discounts to customers on the last Friday of November, the day after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Shops on the UK high street started to introduce the sales to encourage shoppers ahead of Christmas.
Plenty are expected to be involved this year on November 29 and in the run-up.
Last year, Tesco cut prices on a number of gadgets and toys available in its stores.
While we expect fragrances, cookware and luggage to be on sale again in Debenhams this year.
B&M’s Black Friday page hasn’t launched quite yet, but it’s best to keep an eye for when it does launch as last year the retailer had some amazing discounts.
Ebay always gets involved in the big sales events, and we would expect Black Friday this year to be no different.
