Yahoo News Black Friday 2019: Best discount codes for Argos, Currys PC World, Just Eat and more
For avid shoppers, November marks the launch of one of the biggest events of the year, which sees hundreds of big-name retailers slash their prices. We are, of course, talking about Black Friday.
While you can be sure that most of your favourite brands will be taking part, if you’re going to make the most of the shopping frenzy you need to do your homework.
Black Friday is perfect time to indulge in some retail therapy and nab that sofa, laptop or winter coat you have had your eye on, but the good news is that there are plenty of bargains to be had before the event even kicks off.
While the majority of savvy shoppers will be gearing up to navigate the crowded shops this weekend, many overlook the savings that can be found online with unique discount codes.
From fashion and food to technology, brands such as Currys PC World, Argos, Just Eat and Nike are slashing prices for a limited time only.
To help make some serious savings, we’ve put together a list of our very own voucher codes that you’re not going to want to miss.
When is Black Friday?
This year, the event falls on November 29, meaning there is less than a month for shoppers to find deals before Christmas. The main event will last the entire weekend, culminating with Cyber Monday on 2 December.
However the deals – on the high street and online – begin long before the actual day, from anywhere between the week before to as early as mid-October. Last year, Amazon's Black Friday deals ran for an impressive 10 days.
What are discount codes?
There’s nothing worse than finding an item you’ve had your eye on, only to find that it is out of your price range.
Luckily, discount codes are a way of bringing these items into your budget, without having to substitute for a cheaper, potentially lower-quality brand.
Most online shoppers will have noticed those boxes at the checkout stage that ask you to enter in a discount code. Simply input the correct mixture of letters and numbers, and the cost of the item is reduced.

Tips for Black Friday shopping online
Make sure you’ve already got an account with the brands you know you'll be shopping with, like Amazon to make it easier and quicker (no time wasted entering all your details), and if you want next day delivery, register for Amazon Prime.
Sign up to newsletters of brands that you like and might want to shop from so that you’re first to know when their sales start and any discount codes you might need.
Download the apps of retailers you use and follow them on Instagram and Twitter for deals, too.
To find the original price of a product, use PriceSpy or CamelCamelCamel – the latter is especially useful for Amazon.
Don’t forget to check retailer’s returns policies before buying and to check the terms and conditions for sites you’ve not used before.
To make sure you are shopping safely online, check any emails you receive properly before clicking links to make sure they’re legitimate.
If you’re shopping from a computer, it’s also a good idea to ensure your anti-malware software is up to date.
