The cost of living crisis tends to hit hardest when it comes to replacing everyday home essentials.
No matter how many crystals we hoard, or how many times a day we work to manifest good things – sometimes bad luck gets the upper hand and we wind up with a broken dishwasher.
From vacuum cleaners and clothes airers to washing machines and tumble dryers, the loss of these daily saviours can have dire consequences on both our day-to-day living and our poor wallets.
Yet there’s one annual sales event that rolls around during the winter months to lift our spirits and replace old, forgotten and broken home appliances: Black Friday.
When is Black Friday?
Much like the annual Met Gala, Black Friday falls on a specific weekend every year – the last weekend of November. This year, that means Black Friday will fall on November 24.
What is Black Friday?
The annual sales event which is encircled and triple-underlined in every shopaholic’s calendar, Black Friday is a bargain-hunting tradition which originated as a post-thanksgiving clear-out event in the USA over 50 years ago.
Since finding its way across the Atlantic, Black Friday has expanded into a penny-pincher’s dream. It now comprises of sales on everything from fashion, lifestyle and beauty products to large home appliances, TVs, air fryers and more.
When does Black Friday end?
Black Friday stretches over the final weekend of November, ending with an event known as Cyber Monday – which falls on November 27 this year.
What kind of deals can we expect?
Prices will be slashed on everything from high-end tech brands such as Miele, Apple and Hoover, to cheap and cheerful smart tech such as Google Home devices.
