Save yourself a few quid before Christmas.
A few years ago, in anywhere outside the US, Black Friday was a term someone might use on a day they had to go into work after a particularly heavy Thursday night on the tiles.
Although it’s still crazier Stateside (a lot crazier) it has started to become a big deal this side of the pond too, with bargain hunters determined to save themselves a few quid by grabbing the best deals around.
You can do likewise from the comfort of your couch with a smartphone, tablet or laptop; here’s a selection of the Black Friday deals from a range of different online outlets today.
