Black Friday, the shopping frenzy where prices are slashed for the festive season, takes place this year on November 25.
But you don’t actually need to wait that long to get your hands on bargains – at least if you’re shopping at John Lewis that is.
In a bid to help shoppers spread the cost of Christmas, the retailer started its Black Friday sale early, with new offers regularly being added across fashion, beauty, tech, and home.
Different products will be discounted throughout the run-up to the big day, meaning you can avoid the crowds while doing your shopping for less.
Kathleen Mitchell, Commercial Director for John Lewis said: ‘Despite the rising cost of living, our customers still want to celebrate Christmas, so our teams and suppliers have worked incredibly hard to make sure we can offer our customers great value deals on the products they love.
‘With new deals being launched daily, we’d encourage shoppers to keep an eye on our website and shops over the coming weeks, so they don’t miss out.’
If you’re buying gifts, John Lewis’ returns policy lasts from now until January 28, and you’ll also get free delivery over £50 and two-year warranties on all electrical appliances as standard.
Check out our favourite Black Friday buys from the British department store below – and don’t forget, you can also shop this year’s heart-wrenching John Lewis advert too.
