I'm a shopping expert, and these are the best early Black Friday deals to shop Shop offers ahead of the main event, with deals from Dyson, Apple, The Ordinary and more Daisy Lester Why is it called Black Friday?The first use of the term 'Black Friday' is thought to date back to the Fifties, in Philadelphia, where the local police department used the term to describe the huge traffic jams, overcrowded pavements and mobbed stores in the city on the day after Thanksgiving.
It wasn't until the 1980s that the phrase caught on in the rest of the US, and was used as a marketing ploy to promote the consumer event and encourage sales. It was then deployed as a reference to the financial status of stores, as they went from being "in the red" to "in the black", as profits increased.
The sale still falls the day after Thanksgiving each year, but it's evolved into a huge four-day event that concludes the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday, which falls on 2 December this year.
