While Black Friday is technically November 27, the annual event (which originated as a post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas spending opportunity in the US) includes a huge number of Aussie and international retailers and brands slashing the prices of products across technology, beauty, fashion, home and more.
Black Friday first began in the US on the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is usually observed on the fourth Thursday of November.
Traditionally, this Friday marked the beginning of the holiday spending rush, but in recent years it has snowballed into a global shopping phenomenon where retailers offer staggering discounts on a range of products across technology, beauty, fashion, homewares and more.
In Australia, Black Friday now competes with Boxing Day as our biggest shopping extravaganza and last year, National Australia Bank expected shoppers would spend $2.9 billion on the sales.
