Martin Lewis, 46, the Money Saving Expert, revealed heaps of money saving tips on ITV’s The Martin Lewis Money Show Live tonight, from how to save money on energy to saving pennies on council tax.
This weekend marks one of the biggest retail events in the calendar – Black Friday.
But which retailers are taking part and what are some of the best deals to be taken advantage of?
Martin Lewis revealed his predictions for which brands will be taking part, and what discounts they’ll be offering, as part of his “Festive Forecaster”.
Based on Black Friday deals from the last few years, Martin outlined the following deals to look out for:
Amazon/AO.com
On now – products on offer include the Echo Dot, which is £20, usually £50.
Ikea
On Thursday 22 if you buy a £25 Christmas tree you’ll receive a £20 voucher.
Selfridges
Martin is yet to have confirmation about the department store taking part in Black Friday, but predicts that from Thursday 22 November it will offer 20 per cent off online and in store.
Boots
Boots has a range of star gifts and weekly offers this Christmas. Martin predicts these will launch on Black Friday.
Apple
Apple is offering one off items with 10 per cent off.
KFC
If you use the KFC app this Friday (Black Friday) you can get a portion of free chips without doing any other spending.
Marks & Spencer
The store announced it was not taking part in Black Friday last year, but did end up discounting many items in the end. Martin predicts this will be the same this year.
Baileys
Martin predicts this will be discounted in Morrisons and Asda.
American Express
If used in thousands of stores you can get £5 off minimum spend.
Beauty Advent Calendars
Look out on December 1 as Martin predicts many of these will be discounted.
Thorntons
Martin predicts the week of December 3 the store will offer 20 per cent off.
The Body Shop
If patterns follow like previous years, the store will offer 40 per cent off products from Monday 10th, with the offer of a free gift.
John Lewis
The department store will be price matching, again with one-off items discounted. During the week of December 10, Martin predicts the department store will offer half-price decorations and wrapping.
Kurt Geiger
The shoe store usually offers 50 per cent off in the January sales.
ASOS
The online fashion store usually offers 50 per cent off on hundreds of items from around December 17, just in time for Christmas.
The Money Saving Expert advised people to ask themselves whether they need an item before participating in Black Friday.
