We may curse Black Friday as an American tradition that’s ferreted its way into British culture, but there’s no denying Brits love a bargain too.
Especially when it’s on an item you were going to buy anyway (only a fool browses Black Friday sales without intention, ending up with a cheap saucepan set, a cat bed and some Diamonique earrings).
Tech never has the biggest discounts – thanks to the fact shops already make such a small margin on those products anyway – but most have discounts on at this time of year so, if you were planning to buy anyway, then you have nothing to lose.
Occasionally a shop will use a highly desirable tech item as a loss leader – a product they know they will lose money on that acts as a lure to get shoppers into store where they are confident they will buy more – but you’ll have to be quick with the real bargains as they are the ones that will go the fastest.
Apple is not doing a Black Friday sale as such – they are as usual offering a gift card worth up £120 free with certain purchases (up to £80 on iPads) in a ‘one day sale event’. So check the prices you find for iPads elsewhere because you might find Apple’s deal of a £120 or £80 card works out better for you.
