This year consumers are expected to spend more than ever online and in-stores with experts predicting sales of up to £5billion in the UK alone.

Consumers nationwide can expect to reap the financial benefits of huge discounts across a wide range of items from consumer electronics and tech to  fashion and homeware, but how can you get the most for your money?

According to , these are the Black Friday retailers offering the best deals this year:

Amazon

Last year Amazon’s Black Friday event offered thousands of discounted products available for a limited time only, with new deals added every ten minutes. Offers this year are likely to range from clothes and jewellery to laptops and games consoles.

Argos

Argos is one of the biggest retailers to take part in Black Friday and last year received around 12 million web visitors over the course of the day. Deals are likely to include price cuts on TVs, games consoles, laptops, cameras and toys.

Tesco

Last year Tesco went all out on tech deals, and this year we can be sure to expect the same. There’s likely to be heavy discounts on everything from electrical and tech items to toys and consoles.

John Lewis

Expect significant discounts both online and instore, on everything from macbooks to Michael Kors bags. John Lewis have remained tight lipped about the discounts they’re going to be offering this year, but we’re expecting them to be giving consumers savings across the nation’s most-loved tech gadgets and home appliances.

Boots

Already, Boots has revealed that they’ll be offering shoppers a Soap & Glory phone charger and mirror handy handbag kit with every purchase of two or more full sized Soap & Glory products in the run up to Black Friday. We’re predicting more Soap & Glory products to go on offer for Black Friday - watch this space.

Sainsbury's

Sainsbury’s was one of the last retailers to reveal their Black Friday 2015 discounts - but they were worth the wait! Their consumer electronic and homeware offers were amongst the most competitive of the day, with the Dyson DC44 cordless vacuum cleaner being sold for £190 instead of £270. There is no doubt that they’ll come up trumps again this year!

Game

Game had huge deals on offer in their last Black Friday event and this year you can expect to find plenty of deals on not only games, but consoles including the Xbox and Playstation range. The retailer often discounts their package deals so you can expect to see consoles being sold with the most popular games at a fraction of the price.

M&S

The Black Friday event at M&S is always a shopping extravaganza. Expect to see huge discounts on clothes, homeware and more. Remember to sign up for their M&S Sparks card to receive exclusive discounts all year round.

Last year’s deals saw up to 50 per cent off electrical appliances and 60 per cent off furniture and beds at Debenhams. You can also expect to see fantastic deals on designer clothes and beauty products.

Here are vouchercloud’s top tips for buying bargains Black Friday:

• Focus your efforts - Create a list of the items you need or want and don’t stray from it! From shoes and bags to laptops and cameras, big brands will try and entice you to buy more than you bargained for on Black Friday (often in package deals) and whilst it seems like a good investment at the time, your bank account might not thank you for it this close to Christmas.

• Set a strict budget  - It’s so easy to get carried away with online spending when it comes to buying the latest gadgets, fashion items and bargains on Black Friday so it’s so important to set yourself a clear and defined budget. And stick to it. It’s easy to think that an extra £50.00 spend won’t matter too much but it can all add up if you break the budget on a number of items.

• Do your research - Doing your pre-Black Friday research is a good excuse to put your feet up and relax one evening!  Most brands such as John Lewis, ASOS and Marks & Spencer will start to tease consumers with their weighty discounts before they go live on Black Friday. So, try and take a look online or in store before the date and consider the products you’re interested in buying. Always look around for voucher codes on sites such as com.

• Download the latest apps - If you’re looking for tech, homeware or the latest fashion bargains this Black Friday, you should download their apps before the 25th November. Branded apps such as Amazon and House of Fraser will have will have dedicated Black Friday discount landing pages so you can scan through deals quickly on the day and make the most of the deals.
  

  Deals last the whole weekend - Consumer panic sets in on Black Friday and most people will try and purchase all of their bargains early on, but remember that deals will nearly always last the whole weekend.  Don’t forget, it might be worth holding out until Cyber Monday to see if any of the products you’re looking to buy come down in price more.

• Pay safely & securely - If you’re shopping online for Black Friday, be sure to use a credit card or Paypal. If you do use a credit card, use one that offers you rewards such as air miles or vouchers for money off your shopping to save even further.

• Ask for gift receipts - if you're buying gifts for family and friends then remember to ask for a gift receipt so they can return or exchange any unwanted products after Christmas.
