What advice do the experts offer?
Gary Caffell, Deals Editor, told The Sun Online: "Remember, it’s not just one day anymore - most retailers start building up to it with smaller offers from the week before, so be prepared early.
"And if you are planning on shopping on Black Friday itself, set the alarm as stores pump out a lot of strong offers from about 6am – some even earlier - and with stock limited, popular items often sell out before breakfast."
author of , said: "Some stores have limited stock of certain Black Friday - for example get a £1000 Laptop for £10 - with these Black Friday offers you have to be prepared to wait in a queue for hours! Some people camp outside stores!.
"If you are prepared to go to extremes, this is a great way to save a ton of money! Limited stock items are very popular with students!!"
What do the experts predict will feature in the Marks & Spencer sale?
After looking at last year's deals, Gary says: "M&S’ Black Friday sale in previous years has only been up to 20% off selected lines and we expect the same again this year – nothing to get excited about.
"For M&;S this year, we again predict a modest discount in-store and online, with better offers found in other high street stores."
While Holly predicts M&S will be bubbling over with deals including 50 per cent off their own-brand Champagne, wine and clothing.
What was on sale last year?
Last year, Marks & Spencer offered big reductions Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate & Activity Wristband which was £66.49 down from £95.
