The Money Saving Expert (MSE) team, founded by Martin Lewis, has identified a wave of 'grey Friday' promotions ahead of the official Black Friday on 28 November. These deals, already live at major retailers, could help shoppers save hundreds of pounds on everything from electronics to fragrances.
MSE has compiled a list of confirmed offers, including up to £300 off selected TVs, 20% off fragrances from brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel, and up to 50% off at Decathlon on over 1,000 items. Dyson is offering up to £200 off selected vacuums, air purifiers, and hair appliances, with the popular Airwrap discounted to £359.99 (normally £479.99).
Other notable deals include up to 50% off at The Range on over 9,000 items, and Sky's offer of 500Mb broadband, digital line, and Sky Stream TV for £35 per month for new customers, plus a £20 prepaid Mastercard. These promotions run until December 1 or 2, or while stocks last, with some ending sooner.
MSE advises caution, noting that the calendar is a predictor and recent years have been unpredictable. However, with price-matching already underway, shoppers can expect more discounts as Black Friday approaches. For a full list, visit the MSE website.
