Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving Day, marks the biggest day for shoppers in the United States. This year Black Friday falls on 29 November.

However, the US retail phenomenon's craze has now caught the United Kingdom too as some retailers offer Black Friday deals.

With newspapers carrying ads already and websites flashing deal alerts, retailers have begun luring in shoppers with lucrative deals. The excitement about shopping is inevitable.

In the United States, retailers open their doors as early as 5 am or some even in midnight on Black Friday and Thanksgiving.
