On Black Friday, shops prices plummet for 24 hours. The goal is that people buy a lot of things before Christmas. . The day earned its name, as it’s often the day shops ‘move into the black’, meaning they have enough money to cover their costs.
But, frequently there are fights between people because they want to buy the same things. Indeed, people are crazy during this night.
The term originates from the U.S. The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday, It officially marks the beginning of the holiday season as retailers prepare for Christmas trade. Although in the past it has traditionally occurred within the U.S., now British retailers want to offer similar deals for UK customers.
Black Friday
This year, Black Friday will fall on Friday 25 November.
All stores, online and offline, offer big promotions on products. Larger retailers such as Amazon and Argos offer up to 75% off. It’s a big day for the purchase of electrical goods, mobiles and tablets (such as HD TVs, phones, beauty products, home accessories, fashion and toys)
Moreover, some retailers begin before such as “Amazon” who launched his Black Friday 12 days early.
But, be careful, unfortunately we can’t expect too many laptop bargains. Because Both Apple and Microsoft say they will raise prices in the UK by about 20 per cent due to the fall in the pound’s value since the UK voted to leave the EU.
A lot of shops are doing the Black Friday, even the most famous supermarket in UK : “Tesco”.
The nightclubs also do the Black Friday, such as “The Union”. We can have the enter at 99p (instead of £5) on 25th November but also one week before (18th November)
The real question is, at what time does it start?
In the US, traditionally stores opened at 6am. However more recently retailers want to open at midnight.
In Scotland, it will start at 6am and end at 8pm.
