Here's everything you need to know about Black Friday 2019 in the UK.
When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019?
This year, Black Friday is Friday 29 November 2019. Cyber Monday is Monday 2 December 2019. And yes, that means it coincides with payday for a lot of people.
What are Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Originally a US-only event, Black Friday has stretched across the pond and to other regions too. It is a day in November, the day after the US holiday of Thanksgiving, where retailers heavily discount thousands of items in the build-up to Christmas.
It lasts an entire day traditionally, but some retailers start their Black Friday deals early, including Amazon in the US and Amazon UK, which often starts its sales period a week beforehand. Black Friday is followed by Cyber Monday - an online event the Monday after that essentially carries on the bargains for an extra day.
In reality, the bargains can begin up to a week before Black Friday and carry on until the end of November with retailers making the most of the opportunity to sell more products in an ever-more competitive market.
What are the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday UK deals?
There are deals across so many areas. On Pocket-lint we round them up by category to help you find what you're looking for. Here's where you'll be able to find all the deals - we'll expand this section quite drastically in the lead-up to the day itself.
Amazon said that last year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday were its biggest days ever.

Which retailers offer Black Friday UK deals?
Amazon.co.uk
Amazon UK runs deals throughout the year but last year staged its "biggest ever" Black Friday sale across 10 days. There were some super bargains on offer.
Argos
Argos runs deals all through the year, but Black Friday is a time to get something special. There are great bargains on tablets, TVs and games consoles but there are cheaper goods to be had in almost every category it covers.
Carphone Warehouse
Carphone Warehouse always offers a range of deals on mobile devices, tablets and accessories. It runs its Black Friday bargains for 24 hours, both instore and online.
Currys/PC World
Currys PC World runs deals throughout the year and Black Friday is no exception when it has some super offers available.
eBay
eBay is the land of deals for many, be that new from store outlets, or from individuals who have something that you want, but they don't. Traditionally, there a full range of deals available through eBay, and although they haven't specifically been positioned as Black Friday deals, it's always worth looking. Games consoles, in particular, were very cheap last year.
EE
EE's Black Friday usually takes the form of some major deals on handsets, although you can also get bargains on price plans and PAYG deals too.
John Lewis
John Lewis has a commitment to be "Never Knowingly Undersold" so, as the site points out, it has to "match competitors' prices". The advantage with John Lewis is that it offers aftercare and often guaranteed cover for five years for many products, which is ideal for big gadgets like TVs or laptops.
GAME
Game starts pushing a range of offers on consoles and games early, but you can expect some even bigger deals come Black Friday.

Mobiles.co.uk is part of the Dixons Carphone group and a strong competitor when it comes to price. It will have some great offers on the day.
O2
O2 isn't a big Black Friday participant but could be tempted to offer some major discounts this year considering its competitors will.
TalkTalk
TalkTalk's recent Black Friday deals included a TalkTalk Fast Broadband package for £19.95 a month.
Tesco
Tesco's Black Friday deals usually last a week or so.
Three
Three always has something planned for Black Friday.
