Martin Lewis' Black Friday deals
It’s Black Friday week which means stores are pumping out deals galore, including Selfridges 20 percent off, a £104 Body Shop bundle for £42, £25 Ikea Christmas tree gets £20 voucher, 50 percent off everything at La Redoute and more. These are our Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis’ Deals of the Week.
Remember, deals can change quickly, even while I’m on the programme. So always double-check the terms and conditions before spending. Plus, while I hope these deals will save you cash, don’t spend if you can’t afford it, don’t need it, or won’t use it.
Black FridayIt’s a US phenomenon, the first Friday after Thanksgiving when traditionally the Christmas deals are launched. It’s now come over here and merged with Cyber Monday (the busiest online shopping day) to become a Black Friday weekend. In many ways this isn’t new, we’ve always had deals throughout November and December, just now more of them are concertinaed into this one weekend.
These deals come in two forms: either individual goods heavily discounted, or blanket codes for all items. But don’t get sucked into the hype and don’t buy on impulse. Though if you have things on your list you need, it’s worth checking out if you can buy them cheaper right now.
Cross store dealsHere are just a few of those, yet more and more retailers will announce they are doing this. For a continually updated list see Martin’s full Black Friday deals page

It’s valid on full price items only, though some brands are excluded, and it’ll work at standalone stores, not concessions such as House of Fraser, Selfridges and Topshop.

·John Lewis price-matchJohn Lewis will be price-matching its rivals’ Black Friday offers, in line with its usual ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ price promise. It’ll match both in-store and online prices of high street retailers such as Debenhams, Currys and Argos from Friday, we expect until Monday 30 November, but it won’t price-match online-only sellers such as Amazon and AO.com.
These are the specific offers heavily discountedThere are also specific product deals which are coming out – these tend to go very fast, but can be where the biggest discounts are.
£104 Body Shop bundle for £42From tomorrow (Friday) the Body Shop’s promoting its online-only special Black Friday bundle for £41.80, though it is available now. It’s a collection of various beauty products that usually cost £104.50 if bought individually at full-price, so essentially a 60 percent discount. Now, the Body Shop does often give discounts of between 25 and 40 percent, but £42 for the lot is still a great deal. Just enter the code BUNDLE and you’ll get hand cream, body butter, body mist, shower cream, eye definer and more. There are 12,000 bundles available but if previous years are anything to go by, they’ll go quick.
Buy £25 Ikea Christmas tree and get a £20 voucherThis is a deal to pine for.From today, if you buy a £25 real Christmas tree (Abies Nordmanniana) from your nearest Ikea store, (excludes Croydon and Norwich) you’ll get a £20 voucher to spend at any participating store between Monday 18 January and Sunday 7 February next year. It’s likely to be tree-mendously popular. Ikea says the tallest ones are about 170cm (5ft 7in), but they do vary in size. If you buy at Wembley, the voucher’s only valid in that store, but until Sunday 27 March.
Magnum of Prosecco for £10If you visit a Morrisons store (not online) you can get a Canti Prosecco magnum (1.5L) for £10. There’s no set end date, it’s on until stock runs out. But it’s a maximum of six bottles per customer. Please be Drinkaware.
