Black Friday deal dates revealed including Amazon and Lidl as Tesco, Boots and Aldi launch sales EARLY

BLACK Friday is at the end of the month, but many retailers have already launched early sales.

Black Friday is a prime time to buy Christmas gifts for less than usual, or pick up some winter essentials, with deals across tech, beauty, fashion, broadband and home.

This year, Black Friday officially falls on November 29.

But the event is no longer just one day, with those hunting down a deal having until December 2, or so-called Cyber Monday, to make the most of the sales - and some stores run their bargains even longer.

Late November is always a great time for discounted tech, with big-name brands like Apple, , , and  all included in price cuts.

For those who already have their eye on something, they should start looking at prices now rather than waiting for the official Black Friday eventto begin.

That way they could get ahead of others hoping to nab the same item.
