Yahoo Finance Cyber Monday Black Friday 2021 deals: Ring Doorbells, Apple AirPods Pro, Amazon Fire Tablet and more
The biggest event on the shopping calendar is here. Every year it gets bigger and bolder with deeper discounts to scoop as more and more retailers join the bargain bandwagon.
Whether you’ve been waiting to pounce on a discounted big ticket item or you’re looking to bag an incredible deal for gifting or self-treating, Black Friday is the ultimate shopping event you won’t want to miss.
What is Black Friday?
Coined after the colour of the traffic-choked streets that surrounded Philadelphia in the 60s when the shopping phenomenon first took place, Black Friday occurs the day after the US celebrates Thanksgiving.
Retailers took advantage of families being together by throwing epic sales. Handily, it’s timed just before Christmas which means you can shop greater gifts for less.
Over the years, the Black Friday event has travelled across the Atlantic, and along with Cyber Monday, are both now well established fixtures in the UK’s shopping calendar.
When is Black Friday this year?
Given we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on these shores, there can be confusion over when exactly Black Friday takes place. The date moves every year, but just remember it takes place on the fourth Friday of November. In 2021, this means it will happen on November 26. The sales last through the weekend, with most ending on Cyber Monday.
According to a survey by shopping comparison site Finder.com, it’s anticipated that Brits will spend an astonishing £4.8bn over Black Friday weekend, averaging a spend of £275 per person.
Another survery by OnePoll for KPMG UK found one in four shoppers (24 per cent) planning to spend more this year than last. Of the ones were planned to shop this Black Friday, 42 per cent said they were planning to purchase gifts for others, with a third (34 per cent) looking to purchase treats for themselves.
Will there be early deals ahead of the main sale?
Here at ES Best, we’re Black Friday veterans. We’ve seen discounts, sales and promotions launching a week, even a full month ahead of Black Friday over the years.
However, with retailers battling against each other for your precious pounds, and all with plenty of stock to offload, we expect price-cutting to take place even earlier this year. Hello bargain city.
What is Cyber Monday?
While Black Friday initially began as just one day of mega discounts, it has since snowballed into an entire weekend of offers, culminating in Cyber Monday - this year that’s November 29.
This is the day typically reserved for tech products: think laptops, home entertainment, home security, smartwatches, TVs, tablets, mobile handsets, cameras - if there’s an on/off switch, it’s likely to feature.
If you’ve been pondering a big tech purchase it’s worth hanging on for Cyber Monday as there can be incredible offers flying around - as long as stock is still available, of course. As always when it comes to sales, timing is everything.
Which retailers have the most deals?
Most retailers will offer site-wide discounts online while others will have a dedicated section to help you shop with ease.
Want luxury for less? Big designers and brands are angling for a piece of the Black Friday sales action: think Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Kate Spade, Coach and more.
What were the best deals from last year and can we expect these again?
As your destination for all-things shopping, the best place to spot the greatest deals will be right here on ES Best. As well as dedicated roundups per stockist and category type (Fashion, Beauty, Home & Garden, Tech, Kids & Maternity etc) we will also run a live blog, as we do every year.
Last year, our series of lockdowns and the pandemic meant incredible deals were up for grabs.
We saw hundreds wiped off the RRP of the iPhone XR and the price of a Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock plummet from £105 to £59.99. Many bargain hunters cleaned up on Dyson’s vacuums, many of which fell by £100. Fashion giant ASOS marked down clothing and accessories by 70 per cent, while LEGO usually cuts its play sets by 30 per cent per cent. In its 2019 sale, jeweller Ernest Jones offers shoppers £200 off on spends of £1,000 or more.
As well as discounts, there are offers like gift cards and extra accessories thrown into the mix.
If you’re looking for a bargain for Christmas, future birthdays and more, Black Friday is the one shopping event you simply can’t afford to miss.
