FAQs
When do the Boxing Day 2023 sales start?
The Boxing Day sales usually start on 26 December, but many deals can start on the run-up to Christmas and continue through to the start of January and beyond. Some of your favourite retailers may even be offering discount codes for you to make the most of the sale event.
What Boxing Day deals can we expect in 2023?
While we don't know exactly what retailers are going to get involved, thanks to previous years, we've got some pretty good ideas. You might even be able to expect more than half price off selected items, as last year we saw 80 per cent savings on items like fashion, beauty, fitness and homeware.
Are Boxing Day deals as good as Black Friday?
Arguably, you might even be able to find deals as good as you would on Black Friday. With some retailers slashing prices up to 75 per cent, you might be able to bag a bargain. Like Black Friday, the Boxing Day sales no longer last for just a day. We're expecting to see discounts well into the new year, so, make sure to bookmark this page to find all of the best deals.
Top tips for Boxing Day sales:
Be social media savvy
Follow your favourite brands on social media - brands these days often award the customers that pay attention. Although the Boxing Day sales historically only last a day, many brands like to make the most of the build-up – often dropping hints and discounts on social media a few days before and after.
Sign up for newsletters and updates
Yep, we all know they’re annoying and clog up your inbox but your inner bargain hunter will thank you when it’s all over. Sign up to the heat newsletter for more information.
Organisation is key
Spend the week beforehand deciding exactly what you're looking to buy: Focus is everything! Make a budget and try not to be distracted even if a deal looks good, try to stick to your list.
You should also set up online accounts with your favourite shops in advance so you're not stressed out by checkout logins and redirects, also frustrating and a way to lose valuable deal-hunting time.
