Tesco Black Friday 2015 deals
Black Friday kicked off on Tesco Direct as the clock struck twelve this morning, and from 5:00 in 250 Extra stores across the country.
The company's featuring more than 200 electrical, entertainment and mobile products over its three-day event, many discounted by as much as 70%.
It's already launched a series of 'little helps' to make the run-up to Christmas easier, including a £9 bottle of award-winning Louis Delaunay champagne and an MSC certified lobster for £6.
"We're doing all we can to help customers have a fantastic Christmas and we're excited to be offering so many great Black Friday deals this year," says Rob Hattrell, Tesco's general merchandise director.
"Our Black Friday event will include over 200 different products, so we hope customers will find something for all the family."

Last year, stampedes broke out at several Tesco stores across the UK. We'll have to see how things turn out this year, but so far it's all looking a bit more controlled - indeed, at some stores there are reported to be more security guards than shoppers this morning.
