When does the Black Friday 2023 sale start?
Shoppers looking to save more may be wondering when Black Friday starts, and this year Black Friday falls on November 24.
The annual shopping bonanza always follows on from the Thanksgiving holiday in America, which is every fourth Thursday in November.
That means Black Friday is every fourth Friday in November.
Of course, although the shopping event started in America, it is now just as big in the UK.
Nowadays there are tens of thousands of brands and retailers taking part in the sale event, slashing prices on thousands of products ahead of the festive season.
While Black Friday falls on November 24 this year, some retailers launch their deals and discounts in advance of the sale day.
When does the Black Friday 2023 sale end?
When the Black Friday sale will end varies from retailer to retailer.
Cyber Monday is typically the last day of the Black Friday discounts, but in previous years the deals have continued long into December so you can bag even more bargains.
In the past, we have also seen advent calendars reduced well into December, even though you really should be cracking them open on December 1!
So if you are looking to bag a bargain and don’t mind playing catch up, there’s a chance you’ll find even more discounts on advent calendars as the weeks to Christmas creep closer.
However, doing so may mean you miss out on the advent calendar you were holding out for, as they sell out fast.

Yes, we’ve already seen discounts rolling in across advent calendars.
In past years, we’ve seen massive savings across a wide range of advent calendars during the Black Friday sales, with savings on chocolate, beer, food, beauty and kids calendars, at all price points.
If you have your eye on a particular advent calendar it’s best to do some research ahead of the sale and check where it is being stocked and the current prices.
For popular advent calendars stocked at multiple retailers, bargain hunters are advised to shop around and compare prices to get the best deal.
We know advent calendars give you a huge saving compared to buying each item in the bundle individually, but shopping for the best advent calendars in the Black Friday sale makes for even bigger savings.

When is Cyber Monday 2023 and are advent calendar retailers taking part?
Cyber Monday is traditionally the online-only extension of Black Friday and follows Cyber Weekend, so falls the Monday after Black Friday.
This year Cyber Monday falls on November 27, but whether those deals will be extended after Cyber Monday and into December is subjective to each retailer, the product and the stock levels.
While most offers will run across the whole weekend, ending on Cyber Monday at midnight, some retailers do choose to release exclusive savings at different times.
It’s worth keeping an eye out for exclusive Cyber Monday savings or extra discounts, as shops make a last-ditch attempt to clear sale stock ahead of the festive season.

We have expert guides on the best beauty advent calendars, the best wine advent calendars, the best tea calendars, and the classic best chocolate advent calendars.
