Marks & Spencers Black Friday 2016 deals – the best bargains and offers on sale now
IT IS that time of year again as Black Friday is back with a vengeance and it is predicted to be the biggest year yet.
Although the Black Friday deals may almost be over, Cyber Monday is just around the corner, with a whole host of new deals.
The tradition, adopted from our American cousins, sees shoppers lining up outside the stores in the hope of bagging bargains before Christmas.
All the major retailers are getting involved in this year's sale, as shoppers are expected to fork out £3billion on the big day.
Marks & Spencer has decided not to bundle itself in with rest of the high street and have gone against the grain by launching the "Fabulous Gifting Weekend".
Throughout the weekend products will be slashed in price by as much as 50 per cent - and its deals are already live online and in stores.
