Website: Currys*
Start date: Thursday 26 December
Sale strength: Up to 40% off on 3,500+ items
Likely to boost? We haven't seen Currys increase the discount on its sale in previous years, so we don't expect it to this year. However, Currys often price matches other retailers, so you could see selected items reduced further if a competitor has reduced its price.
What does 'up to 40% off' mean?
Min discount we saw: 8%
Max discount we saw: 73%, for example this Oral-B Special Edition iO8 electric toothbrush* for £138, was £449.99
Typical discount based on 10 random items: 31%

There are always ways you can save money at Currys*, so even if there isn’t a cracking deal out there that works for you, don’t assume you can’t cut your costs further.
Ways to save money at Currys include:
Free delivery or collection. When you buy online from Currys delivery's free, or you can collect from a store if you prefer (find your nearest*). Of course, this depends on your local store having it in stock.
Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had luck haggling, and Currys came 7th with a 59% success rate - so it's probably worth a go if you feel confident. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more tips.

Check out similar retailers, eg, Amazon, John Lewis. If you're not committed to buying from Currys, check for deals from other shops such as Amazon, John Lewis and Argos, where you may find there's a better offer.
Had a problem with Currys? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to Currys*.

Tech and home appliances retailer Currys* has launched its Black Friday sale online and in stores, as of Wednesday 30 October, and lasting until Monday 2 December, while stocks lasts.
When we checked on Friday 29 November, the sale included 5,700+ items such as vacuums, air fryers, TVs, and fridge freezers from brands such as Ninja, Dyson, LG and Samsung. We think it's likely more items will be added to the sale as we get closer to Black Friday itself (29 November).
What discounts have we seen?
Min discount we saw: 4%
Max discount we saw: 45%
Typical discount from ten random items: 22%
Here are a few deals we spotted when we checked at 7.06am on Friday 29 November:
Oral-B iO3 Series 3 electric toothbrush* – £49.99 (was £159.99). CHEAPER ELSEWHERE for £49.95 at Superdrug and Amazon*
Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L air fryer in white* – £219 (was £269.99). This white version is exclusive to Currys, but the cheapest we've seen it in other colours is £199 at Amazon and Argos
Dyson V15 Detect Absolute cordless vacuum* – £479 (was £649.99). Price matched at AO.com, John Lewis and Very
LG C44 OLED55C44LA 55-inch TV* – £1,199 (was £1,599). CHEAPER ELSEWHERE for £1,194 at John Lewis* and Amazon*
Price match promise
Currys’ price promise guarantee* includes items purchased in its Black Friday sale, so if you find the same product cheaper at a major UK retailer (including Amazon, AO.com, Argos, Asda, John Lewis and Tesco), it’ll match the price before you buy or up to seven days after purchase. However, the product must be offered on "identical terms", such as making sure it has the same specification, model number and delivery availability. Some MoneySavers have told us they've been denied the price promise because of this.
Four-months' free Apple TV+ with selected purchases
Currys is offering four-months' free Apple TV+ on tech purchases* up to Monday 2 December – to claim the benefit, you need to a new or returning Apple TV+ subscriber (in other words, no current active subscription). If the item you're after is the same price at other retailers, this added extra might be worth considering – though this isn't as strong as 2023's offer, which was five-months' free, or 2022 which was six-months.
Extended returns policy
If you purchase any product from Wednesday 30 October until Tuesday 24 December, you have until store closing time on Thursday 23 January to return it. Standard delivery's free for items over £40, but up to £20 for big items (major kitchen/laundry appliances and TVs over 40").
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford.Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.
