Yahoo News Black Friday Argos, John Lewis and Currys deals 2019: Thursday's best offers in the sale
We’ve got to the time of the year where the clocks go back, nights are drawing in and temperate drop, and that means only one thing in the shopping world – no, not Christmas, but Black Friday.
The pre-Christmas sales are probably the best of the year where the high street and websites slash prices on everything from fashion, tech, furniture and homewares.
The event began as just the first Friday after Thanksgiving, but it’s increased in length and now lasts much longer than that, with some retailers beginning some deals as early as October. But the main event usually starts the week before Black Friday deals and runs to the following Monday, known as Cyber Monday.
As soon as the deals are released, we'll be on the hunt for the best offers and featuring them here, so be sure to check back in to see them. For now, we've predicted what deals the biggest retailers will be offering this year, with advice on how to prepare for their sales.

John Lewis & Partners
What makes John Lewis & Partners one of the best places to shop this Black Friday is its commitment to being Never Knowingly Undersold.
This means that it continually checks and compares its prices against high street competitors' prices every day, even during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Last year, the retailer launched its Black Friday sale a week before the big day, and it's following suit for 2019 as the deals are once again launched a week ahead of the main event.

When is Black Friday?
As the sale falls on November 29 this year, there's less than a month for shoppers to find deals before Christmas.
But Black Friday 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 10 days.
