When does the Argos Black Friday sale start?
Expected start date: Friday 18th November
Argos is famed for its Black Friday sale, especially their discounted prices on toys, games, entertainment, kitchen appliances, TVs and gadgets.
The Argos Black Friday sale in 2021 started early on Friday 19th November. During 2020 and 2021, the Argos Black Friday sale sold over 20 products every second in the first hour of their Black Friday event, so this is why they start their event early.
In keeping with this theme, we expect the Argos Black Friday sale 2022 to start a week early on Friday 18th November. We were kinda close as the Argos pre-Black Friday deals started on the first week of November.

Tips for shopping the Argos Black Friday sale
To get the best deals possible this Black Friday, you need to be prepared, especially if you’re shopping across multiple sites. Below are our tips on how to shop in the Argos Black Friday sales. For tips on other retailers like Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, Very, AO.com and ASOS, just click these links!
1. Create a wishlist
Start off by creating a wishlist of products that you want to buy in the Black Friday sales. This helps you narrow down what you’re looking for, where you should be looking for it and if you’re buying Christmas presents, you can tick off what you've bought and who you’ve bought it for – it’s always best to be organised!
For example, if you’re looking for LEGO gift sets, make sure you know what retailer has the best prices and what age range, character and genre you want before you start shopping the sales. Argos is an extremely popular seller of LEGO so we recommend you shop for any LEGO sets at Argos for the cheapest prices.
2. Do your research
Next is to do your research on the products you want to buy and the store you want to buy them from. For the product, check its original price and protection policy. This helps you get a better idea on how good the deals are and if it comes with any guarantees and protection. When researching the store, it’s good to check delivery details and return policies. Whenever you buy anything – especially if it's online – it’s good to know when it’s getting to you, how you can track your order, how to refund an item and how many days you have to return it.
3. Create an Argos account
If you’re shopping from Argos this Black Friday, create an account before you start shopping the sales. You need an Argos account to pay for your online order, so rather than faffing around on the day trying to set this up, get ahead of the game and set one up early. This not only helps you keep track of your orders and delivery process, but you can also add items to your wishlist and register for an Argos card for even more savings.
4. Sign up for Argos email updates
If you sign up to the Argos email list, they’ll send you information about their current deals and savings all year round. As we get closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they’ll also send you a sneak peek of their deals and will most likely give you early access.
5. Check previous Black Friday deals
Checking last year’s (or even the year before) Black Friday deals gives you an idea of what to expect this year. This can help you understand what kind of discounts and cuts were made last year and what items were the most popular from your choice of store. It’s also helpful to find out how quickly things sold out last year and when the sales started to make sure you’re ready for the day.
Argos Clearance sale
For extra deals before, during and after Black Friday, Argos runs tons of offers throughout the year, including 2 for £20 deals, up to half price discounts and essentials from £8.
The Argos clearance sale is the best place to look for cheap prices on 'everything must go' type products. In the clearance, you can find price drops on technology, home and furniture, garden and DIY, toys, baby and nursery, sports and leisure, appliances, health and beauty, and fashion.
