Black Friday arrives this week, bringing with it a wave of discounts, limited-time deals and heavily promoted “must-buy” offers across the UK’s high streets and online retailers. Originally an American shopping tradition, it’s now firmly embedded in the British retail calendar, with many stores already rolling out week-long promotions.
For UK shoppers, it’s often seen as a chance to grab early Christmas gifts at reduced prices, upgrade tech, or stock up on household essentials. But rising costs, tighter budgets, and scepticism about whether some deals are truly genuine have left many people questioning whether Black Friday still carries the same appeal it once did.
Some love the excitement. Others prefer to skip the hype entirely.
What about you — are you bothered about Black Friday at all, or do you just ignore the whole thing?
