Five shops to visit during Black Friday in the UK

It’s not completely new to see American culture invading parts of British society. Just like in the States, shops across the UK are beginning to offer large discounts on products by using “Black Friday” as an excuse. While it isn’t as big as Boxing Day, the American “holiday” is becoming more and more influential in the United Kingdom.

The impact of Black Friday is so big that it has become a great way for people to find jobs – at least during the holiday season. Loads of products are sold and stores are crying out for temporary staff, so young adults are updating their CV layout to get a job in a shop in November, December and even January. Starting in the month before Christmas, it’s a great time to buy gifts and essentials, so here’s a look at some great places to visit on Black Friday.

Argos

Argos has many stores across the UK, and it is one of the shops known for its Black Friday deals. The retailer’s Black Friday event offers significant discounts on smart tech, toys and games equipment, kitchenware, clothes and fancy dress costumes.

Argos is also the perfect spot for Black Friday shopping for fans of home electronics like televisions and microwaves. The retailer normally offers discounts on a wide range of products including smartphones, laptops, TVs and home appliances.

Currys

Currys is a popular high street shop that sells electronics and household appliances such as washing machines, televisions and mobile phones. Shoppers can also find online deals for TV sales on the Currys website. The store offers a wide selection of TVs, from Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and LG. There are curved or flat screens in different resolutions to choose from, depending on preferences.

In addition to TVs, they have other products essential for the home, like microwaves and heaters and air purifiers. Appliances always make a great gift, and these discounts could help make a loved one very happy this holiday season.

Boots

Boots is an iconic pharmacy chain that sells a range of products such as medicines, toiletries and cosmetics. Anyone who needs any of these items or would like to gift someone some luxury products is in luck. Boots can be found in most major cities, including London. During Black Friday, there are great deals on makeup, including mascara, eye shadow palettes and foundations.

Shoppers can also take advantage of deals on hairstyling tools, bathroom essentials, deodorant, razors for men or women or even some favourite lotions!

B&Q

B&Q is a popular do-it-yourself store where it’s easy to find all those home improvement needs. For example, they stock everything from furniture to garden products and electrical items, as well as painting and decorating supplies and ironmongery. They also have an excellent selection of kitchenware, bathroom accessories and more.

While it’s possible to buy a tool online, heading to the store is a smart option. DIYers can use the great deals that B&Q offers to buy the tool needed to finish whatever they are building in the garden or living room.

B&Q has stores in most major towns and cities across the UK, making it simple to pop in whenever something new is needed for a home or garden project.

Monsoon

Monsoon has over 150 stores in the UK. The company sells its clothing through both brick-and-mortar shops and online stores, including Amazon Fashion.

Fashion-lovers can find offers for designer clothing for men, women, girls and boys at low prices, making it an ideal place to shop during Black Friday. Those looking for some new threads at an affordable price point should consider doing some browsing here for the festive season – and summer may be over, but it’s possible to get started purchasing fashionable dresses for next spring and summer while they’re more affordable as well.

Monsoon’s Black Friday deals are available at both its physical and online stores. Whether shoppers are in the area and want to check out the selection in person or they’re feeling lazy and want to do it from home, it’s possible either way.

Conclusion

Black Friday’s (and Cyber Monday’s) economic impact is immense. Mammoth corporations like Amazon have used it to make a huge profit each year. There are also plenty of UK companies that are also offering great deals, and it’s always good to shop locally. It’s worth having a look at the shops mentioned above to treat oneself or a loved one.

While some people are against Black Friday as a materialistic or American concept, it is an excellent way to save a bit of cash and get that holiday shopping done, taking some of the edge off the financial stress many are feeling at the moment. Of course, there’s always secondhand shopping and making smaller tokens of affection as gifting options where money doesn’t stretch far enough – and they’re better for the environment too!
