Which? Shorts podcast: are you really getting a good Black Friday deal?

Our investigation shows the price you paid might have been lower earlier in the year

In this week's Which? Shorts podcast, we share with you our independent research into Black Friday, and reveal how many of the prices might have been cheaper at other times during the year.

Many eye-catching deals are already flooding the market, but we can reveal the different tactics used by retailers, the confusion experienced by even the savviest of shoppers, and some very dodgy-looking deals.

Listen here to the full episode, written by Ellie Simmonds and read by James Rowe.
