Yahoo Finance Best Amazon Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019 deals: top UK offers on sale today
Gone are the days when Black Friday was a one-day affair. The huge discounts continue this Sunday, with retailers reducing prices on some of their most sought-after items. Amazon has been a key player in the sale so far, releasing some of the best deals on televisions, headphones and smart devices throughout the week.
The online shopping giant goes all-out for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which is hardly surprising because it is the retailer that introduced the November sales to the UK. Last year alone, customers saved over £40 million in Amazon's Black Friday sales, and this year should be no different.
While other stores are reducing their prices this weekend, too, Amazon has a slight advantage over its competitors because, on top of selling electricals and gadgets at a discounted price, it also has its ever-popular Amazon-branded products (Echo Dots, Fire tablets, etc) on offer.
