Black Friday is upon us and style fans are in for a treat as research from deals website HotUKDeals has revealed there are actually bigger price slashes on on fashion and beauty products than tech items.

Can’t wait to get your shop on? Get prepared with these top tips for getting the best Black Friday deals, by Voucher Codes
Do Your Research
Many of the best deals tend to only be available for a very limited time so do your research beforehand – if you have a particular item in mind check which stores stock it and make sure they all deliver to your area or have a local pick-up facility so you don’t get any dead ends on the day.
Be Prepared
Plan ahead and sign up to newsletters from your favourite retailers to stay clued up on all the best deals that are set to be available.
Check product reviews beforehand so you can add items to your basket and click buy as soon as the discounts go live.
Try Things On
If there are particular items you can only justify buying with a discount, make sure you’ve been to the store and tried them on beforehand wherever possible.
If you’re deciding between a couple of different styles, take a selfie of the outfit in the changing rooms so you can refer back to it before you commit to the purchase.
Stick To A List
Whether you’re planning to buy all your Christmas presents or just fancy treating yourself, the temptation to add things to your basket because they’re oh-so-cheap can soon add up.
Make a list of things that you know you definitely want to buy to help stay on track.
Set A Budget
If you’re the type who gets easily swayed into buying things you don’t really need, make sure you review your available budget ahead of the day and stick to it.
However, it is worth also having a ‘contingency budget’ in case you see something that you can’t be without.
