| EXPERT TIP |
| Best early Black Friday deals
|
Black Friday falls on 28 November this year, but some retailers have started deals early.
In previous years, we've seen discounted products that get low test scores or are even Which? Don't Buys. In other words, they're simply not worth your money.
Luckily, our deals experts will be checking deals every day in the lead-up and on Black Friday to find genuinely good discounts on products that performed well in our tests.
