Why is it called Black Friday and where did it come from?

Black Friday was given its name as it is often the day that shops "move into the black" – meaning they have enough money to cover their costs while reducing prices.

The sale falls on the weekend after the US's Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving is a federal holiday in the United States that originated as a harvest festival and has been celebrated on and off since 1789.

Many non-retail employees and schools have Thanksgiving and the following Friday off, creating a four-day weekend and increasing the number of potential shoppers.

The weekend traditionally marks the beginning of the holiday season ahead of Christmas and New Year.

The Friday after Thanksgiving came to be associated with shopping in the 1950s, though didn't gain the name Black Friday until later.

The tradition has spread elsewhere in recent decades, and is now marked in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, and a growing list of other countries.

We've put together a guide on the Black Friday meaning and name, where you can read more about its origins.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday after Black Friday, and is considered one of the final opportunities to snap up incredible savings before the festive season starts.

Many of the best Black Friday deals often run until Cyber Monday, giving shoppers an extended period to snap up discounts – or even specific deals, just for the day.

Cyber Monday was created in 2005 by marketing companies to encourage people to shop online.

In previous years, demand for deals online has caused retailer websites to crash, or virtual queues to be put in place.

How to get the best deals on Black Friday

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals a few ways you can get the best deals this Black Friday...

Buy the right products – there are literally thousands of products to choose from every Black Friday, but some are worth going after more than others.

Dan Evans, editor at HotUKDeals, previously told The Sun five particular brands or themes are worth pursuing – Lego, fashion, video games or consoles, Shark and Ring doorbell.

Create a wish list – don’t get sucked in to promises of massive discounts and offers.

Make a wish list of items you actually want to buy so you don’t end up getting something you don’t need.

Earn as you spend – it’s worth checking if any Black Friday deals can be bought through cashback sites like Quidco or Topcashback.

It’s free to sign up and you could get what is effectively free money just for buying something you would have any way.
