Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year where millions of people rush to the shops and online hunting for the biggest savings.
Retailers and high street brands across the country slash their prices – offering major discounts and deals just in time for the most wonderful time of year.
However, did you know with a Newsquest Rewards membership, you can save even more?
You might even be able to save twice through special discounts from the likes of Currys and John Lewis.
Black Friday is often most ideal for tech deals, but there’s no doubt you will also find some very impressive offers in other areas like fashion or homeware too.
With the festive season coming up, it’s the perfect time to prepare for gift giving, as well as bagging those items that you’ve had your eye on for a while.
When is Black Friday?
Traditionally, Black Friday marks the start of Christmas shopping and tends to fall on the last Friday of November.
For 2024, the official date for Black Friday is November 29.
Why is Black Friday called Black Friday?

5 ways to make the most out of Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Make a list
Think about what you need and what you would like to buy in advance. These can be gifts for the festive season, new things for your home, or just something nice for yourself.
If you have been thinking about bigger purchases like kitchen appliances or tech gadgets, this might be the best time of the year to do it.
Also make a note of any alternatives in case what you want is sold out or isn’t on offer. Having a list helps you feel more prepared and will prevent you from impulsively buying things you don’t need.
Use your Newsquest Rewards discounts
Check your list against your SmartSpending™ retailers so that you know where you can make an even bigger saving with discounts or cashback.
Set a budget
Decide on a budget and stick to it. Of course, weekends like this are a great opportunity to save, but it’s easy to get swept away and overspend.
You don’t want to end up spending more than you were planning on and regret it the week after. So set a budget, ideally per category, and keep track of it.
Compare offers
Check products on multiple sites to make sure you really are getting the best deal.
Don’t miss out on early deals and don’t wait until November 24 to start browsing.
Make sure to keep an eye out for savings the whole month of November, since retailers might decide to treat their customers to discounts early.
