If you like a bargain, then you've come to the right place.
In November, retailers across the globe will be offering deals and discounts on their products thanks to the growing popularity of Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions.
Black Friday deals were traditionally a one-day-only affair, but recent years have been huge, with deals running throughout the whole of November right up to Cyber Monday. Here, we'll be explaining what Black Friday and Cyber Monday are, and look into some of the best deals from last year from retailers across the UK.

Was 2015 the biggest Black Friday ever?
Of course it was! Last year's event saw a record spend in the UK. It was the first year that on just Friday itself UK spending topped 1bn, with £1.1bn spent by British shoppers. The whole weekend including Cyber Monday brought in a staggering £3.3bn for UK retailers, with the Monday on its own not far behind its Friday brother with £968m spent. Cash everywhere.
Even American media think the British uptake of their beloved tradition is noteworthy.
Shoppers were not deterred by the surprise of Asda pulling out of Black Friday altogether. If anything, it may have encouraged UK shoppers to look harder for what they consider a true bargain.
Do retailers go into meltdown?

Asda's decision to not participate in Black Friday last year helped keep physical stampedes down slightly, but it didnt stop websites creaking under intense traffic. However, much like how technology develops over years, the rise of Black Friday is truly telescopic; it's not unusual for sales records to tumble each year or to see profits double - expect sensationalist headlines come the end of November and retailers strap themsevles in for the rush. But hey, even if there is a media rush come Black Friday to analyse why people queue overnight to get a cheap telly, who are we to judge? We always get excited about Friday, and as long as you're prepared for it, you can bag the bargain of the century with a cup of tea in your armchair. It's widely accepted that Black Friday is an online beast now - and what a beast. In a good way, we mean.
Black Friday 2016: When is Black Friday?
Black Friday 2016 will falls on Friday 25 November 2016, although consumers will see deals during the week leading up to Black Friday, the weekend following it, and Cyber Monday - 28 November 2016.
Black Friday 2016: What is Black Friday 2016? What is Cyber Monday?

Always the day after the US' Thanksgiving celebrations, or the fourth Friday in November, Black Friday marks the start of the official Christmas shopping season. It's a day on which many US consumers do not work, and when they can expect to see a number of discounts on products.
Traditionally a US thing, Black Friday came to the UK through Amazon and Apple, and in 2016 multiple retailers will offer discounted products for Black Friday and the monday that follows, which is known as Cyber Monday, in the UK.
There are two main schools of thought about where the name Black Friday comes from. The first originates from the streets of Philadelphia, where the term was used to describe the heavy congestion on the roads and shopping high streets thanks to frantic bargain hunters. The second explanation is that Black Friday is a day where shops accounts would go from being in debt to being in profit, thus going from red to black, hence the name Black Friday.
US high-street stores and retailers naturally began offering Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on their websites, which meant many were also available to UK consumers. Apple and Amazon, two of the biggest online retailers, then began offering deals worldwide. Now everyone wants to get in on the act in the UK.

Black Friday 2016 buying advice: What makes a good deal?
While there are lots of amazing tech deals to be had on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's worth pointing out that not everything will be the good deal that it sounds. Here are some tips for buying tech (and other stuff) on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2016. Always check the market value for a product. Just because a laptop or a tablet has a 'save 50%' label slapped on it, that doesn't mean you'll be getting it significantly cheaper than you would yesterday or next week. The Black Friday sales can begin a week prior to the event and some will last pretty much up until the beginning of January. Plus sale prices are usually calculated from the RRP, and few products maintain their RRP for their lifetime on sale. It's not unheard of for some retailers to raise their prices immediately before a sale.

This is particularly true of older products, and many of the 'deals' you'll see on Black Friday and Cyber Monday are previous-gen- or poor-quality products the retailer wants to get rid of. That doesn't mean they are not a good buy, but it's worth checking the specification against more recent devices.
The best price might not be on the weekend
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are huge events in retail, but these days someone somewhere has a sale on every day of the year. If you see a great deal today, don't wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday in the hope that the price will come down further. It might not be reduced and, worse, it might be out of stock.

You don't have to buy a product simply because it's from a well-known manufacturer such as, say, Samsung. Samsung makes many excellent high-end products; it also makes a lot of cheap devices that are cheap all year around. Don't forget to read up on the product you're buying: read reviews from both tech sites such as this and real-life end users. To grab a bargain on Black Friday you need to be quick, but in your rush to snap up a deal don't forget to read the small print. Carefully check the item description and delivery requirements before you add a product to your basket. If you're buying for Christmas, make sure that product will arrive in time (and bear in mind that at this time of year, and especially after a big sales event such as Black Friday, postal services will have a lot of parcels to ship and may take longer to do so). Shipping charges can also make your purchase go from a quick deal to an extravagance you didn't really need.

Do you really need that item? It's easy to be tempted by bargains, but you're not saving any money at all if you're buying something you probably won't use. HotUKDeals suggests writing a list of what you hope to find ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, then looking for deals on only those products on the day. If you don't visit the sale pages you can't be tempted.
Be sensible online
Don't buy anything that you can't afford, and be careful how you pay. Purchasing on credit cards is convenient and offers extra protection than does buying with a debit card, but if you're not going to immediately pay back that money then you may end up out of pocket in the long run. PayPal is another option for making secure payments.
