Black Friday is almost here. The main deals event is just one week away but even now is a great opportunity to snap up a deal. Be aware though, both the deal and the stock don’t hang around for long, so once you’ve spotted the model you’ve researched and like the sound of, we recommend buying immediately.
As one of the largest appliances you can buy for your home, a fridge freezer requires thorough research before you part with your money. And some also come with a high price tag, so finding a discounted model is a definite win. The cost of living crisis means that many of us are looking to save money where we can. As a reaction to this need, we’ve already noticed that some retailers have released their Black Friday deals earlier compared to last year.

How to calculate your KwH usage
Because a fridge freezer is kept on all the time, most retailers will work out the average yearly kilowatt hour usage for you. This will be listed in the key specifications on the product listing.
The actual cost per kilowatt hour for a fridge freezer varies. Factors like where you live and your energy tariff provider will mean that the final price you pay for running the fridge freezer will vary from household to household.

When is Black Friday?
This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 25 November. More recently, the term has been appropriated to refer to the entire four days of savings spanning Black Friday, right the way through to Cyber Monday (28 November).
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday refers to the large sales event that occurs on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It’s often the best opportunity to take advantage of some huge discounts not only across homeware, but tech, garden, clothing and more.
Usually the sales begin the day after Thanksgiving, but we’ve also spotted plenty of retailers releasing their Black Friday savings early this year.
What were some of the best deals from Black Friday last year?
We weren’t surprised to see fridge freezers were a popular appliance last year. From budget-friendly brands including Beko to household names such as LG and Samsung, there were plenty of deals on offer. The whole gamut of fridge freezer types were available, too – high-tech interactive models, generously sized American-style units, integrated models and, of course, simple frost-free ones, too.
Some of the most impressive deals offered a few hundred pounds of the RRP.
