CHRISTMAS has come early for shoppers looking for bargain presents this year.
Several major retailers including Ikea, The Range and Amazon have slashed prices ahead of Boxing Day sales in just over a week.
Boxing Day sales can be a great time to bag some end-of-year bargains and most shops take part.
Some big retailers also launch early sales to give shoppers a chance to pick up discounted products ready to be gifted on Christmas Day.
If you’re just looking to take advantage of some major savings, there’s lots to choose from.
We’ve had a look to find which places have sales on already and have listed some of the best offers.
Remember though, you should always shop around when looking to buy anything in a sale.
You might find it cheaper elsewhere, or it might be worth waiting to get it at an even lower price later on.
You could also use price comparison sites like Latest Deals, Camel Camel Camel, moneysavingexpert.com and pricespy.co.uk.
