While Black Friday 2021 is still a couple of weeks away, stock uncertainty and increased appetite around the annual sales event means more and more retailers are launching their sales early to give you more opportunities to shop the discounts.

And, the Currys Black Friday deals are now live. Launched this morning (Friday 5th November) at 7am, the sale follows the likes of Very and AO – both of which also launched their Black Friday deals earlier this week.

Also known as Currys Black Tag event, Currys Black Friday sale features deals across technology such as TVs and wireless earbuds, gaming accessories such as Razer headsets and home appliances such as coffee machines and fridge freezers. In essence, you have the opportunity to deck out your whole house with new gadgets, if you so wish.

The best deals so far seem to be across TVs and gaming accessories, with Currys slashing £300 off a Samsung 65-inch Neo QLED TV and 21% off the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset (now down to just £119).

Price Promise is Currys’ dedicated price-matching scheme. If you find that a product is sold for less at another UK retailer, Currys will match the price.

You can request a price match before you buy a product or, if you’ve already bought it from Currys, it will still work up to seven days after your purchase.

Currys honour this during the sales seasons (including Black Friday 2021) or when a competitor is running an offer or discount. Taking the time to compare prices may seem like a faff, but if you’re willing to do the additional step, it can be a great way to save some extra money and make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.

How to find a Currys Black Friday deal

This is a competitive time of year, both for retailers and buyers. If you want the best deals, it pays to do pre-planning.

First off, narrow down your search by deciding what sort of products you’re looking for. Do you need a new phone with accompanying earbuds? A TV with a soundbar? Or maybe just a new phone case? Whatever it is, plan and decide on a budget. This will help you stay on task when wading through a slew of tech bargains online.

Currys offers perks if you decide to shop there alongside price matching, including free delivery on every product and the ability to reserve and collect in-store.

Shop around. Check in with a variety of retailers to ensure you get the best deals. Black Friday is a competitive period, and they will compete with each other through the discounts they offer. Check multiple sites for the best chance of a bargain.

Check social media. Some deals may be teased on social media during big sale events ahead of their appearance on online stores. Keep an eye out.
