Nearly nine out of 10 Black Friday deals could be found at the same price or cheaper earlier in the year, according to analysis.
Consumer group Which? looked at the prices of 219 popular home and tech products for six months before Black Friday 2019 and six months after.
These included products from Amazon, AO.com, Argos, Currys PC World and John Lewis.
The analysis found that 85% could be found cheaper or the same price in the six months before.
Only three of the 219 items were at their cheapest price on Black Friday.
Among the examples, was a set of Bose headphones at Currys PC World - sold for £249 on Black Friday but cheaper or the same price on at least 15 occasions in the six months prior.
At John Lewis, a De'Longhi coffee machine cost £1,285 in the Black Friday sale, but it had been the same price or less on at least 35 occasions in the six months before, falling to less than £1,200 on several days in May and June 2019.
