Samsung tech
Unlike Apple, ran a big sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, including some of its most popular TVs, Phones and other gadgets.
Samsung is definitely one that's worth shopping around for though, as plenty of other retailers stock its tech at better prices.
TVs
TVs are often worth a look in the sales as manufacturers usually release new models in Spring.
That means that by the winter the prices have dropped to their lowest point, as retailers look to clear out stock and make room for newer models.
White goods
Fridge freezers, cookers, microwaves and kettles can be expensive, so it makes sense to buy a new one while the prices are low.
