(The Independent)

The Black Friday period is upon us, meaning some of the biggest high street stores are slashing prices on everything from fashion to furniture.

No longer just the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday now refers to both the day, the weekend and the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday.

Last year, it even saw some retailers having deals the week before too. But this year, Amazon has already begun its sale, a whole month early. Keep up with the best early Amazon Black Friday deals in our guide. Other retailers, including AO, Boots and O2 have also began much earlier too.

Curry’s PC World too has joined in on the action, unveiling its early bird savings of up to 68 per cent across tech, laptops, TV’s and home appliances, available now online until 19 November.

There’s big name brands included too, from Beats headphones to LG TV’s, Fitbit watches and everything in between.

The retailer has also guaranteed a refund on the price difference of products which receive further discount on Black Friday itself, meaning if you shop now, you know you’ll be getting a competitive deal.

If you’re struggling to decide between two different laptop models or TV’s that seem similar, the retailer will be running a service called ShopLive throughout the sale, a 24/7 video shopping resource allowing customers to chat to staff at Currys online.

Here, we we will be constantly updating the best deals throughout the run up to Black Friday, the main weekend and Cyber Monday.

When is Black Friday?

This year Black Friday will fall on Friday 27 November, and the event will run over the weekend until 30 November, which is Cyber Monday.

While the main event runs for a few days, we’re already expecting the longest lead-up ever, as big brands and retailers have already launched their early Black Friday deals weeks before the big day.

Amazon launched its early bird sale a whole month before Black Friday – two weeks earlier than last year – while other retailers such as Boots and Superdrug have also started their sales.
