Best deals at John Lewis to expect for Black Friday 2024: Offers on furniture, tech, accessories and more

Whether browsing online or in person, there’s nothing quite like landing on a retailer which offers everything you could possibly need and more under one single roof. Though London is known for luxurious department stores scattered across the capital, John Lewis is a beloved go-to chain for a reason.

Recently, the famed one-stop-shop has updated its price promise to ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’. From Monday 9 September, John Lewis will be price matching 25 online and high street retailers with the help of AI technology, ensuring customers get the most competitive price every day on home, fashion, beauty and technology. What’s more, you’ll have seven days to claim the difference if you find a better price with a major competitor, or if JL drops its price.

Thankfully, this updated price guarantee comes just in time for Black Friday – which is just around the corner.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Every year, Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving 2024 takes place on November 28, which means that Black Friday will fall on November 29.

When does Black Friday end?

Bargain hunters rejoice, for Black Friday is no longer a 24-hour-only event. It normally stretches over the entire Thanksgiving weekend, right up until the highly anticipated sister to Black Friday known as Cyber Monday on December 2.

Why is it called Black Friday?

There are many theories for this. Here’s one: Before Excel spreadsheets existed, accountants would update financial data manually in ledgers. Red ink was used for a negative balance, and black ink for a positive one. Black Friday helps businesses across the globe to push their profit margins right back up ‘into the black’, hence the well-known moniker for the post-Thanksgiving sale.

What deals at John Lewis can we expect?

Expect bargains on everything from large furniture items like sofas and armchairs, to coveted tech such as TVs, sound systems, large kitchen appliances and so much more.
