Friday 23 November sees the annual Black Friday bargain bonanza spring to life once again, marking the start of Christmas shopping season across the country. With exactly 5 weeks until 25 December, the countdown to Christmas has well and truly begun and the Black Friday event presents a perfect opportunity to bag a bargain at sensational prices.
Today, leading high-street retailer, Ryman Stationery is ready to unveil its Black Friday boom for 2018 which will see unbelievable deals to be had both online and in-store. Running for 7 days from now until Monday 26 November, savvy shoppers will be treated to the biggest bargains and dreamiest deals.
Originating in America during the 1950s, Black Friday, which falls the day after Thanksgiving celebrations, was coined to represent the point where retailers began to turn a profit and therefore transitioned from the ‘red’ to the ‘black’. And us thrifty Brits love a bargain, as interest in our favourite shopping spree sees no slowing down. According to a GoCompare report, this year it’s estimated that UK consumers will spend £4.5 billion in the Black Friday sales. That’s £165 per household – a 53% increase from 2017’s planned spend*.
Shopaholics are now hosting Black Friday parties, which will see friends gathering together with a drink in one hand and laptop, phone or tablet in the other, to snap up the best deals. After all, several pairs of eyes are beadier than one.
So, snap up Ryman’s incredible offers whilst you can and get your Christmas list ticked off, without feeling the pull of the purse strings.
