THOUSANDS of bargain hunters are set to flock to stores for what has been billed as the biggest Black Friday discount bonanza ever.
Some retailers in Warrington are expected to run discounts as they bid to compete with the big city shopping locations such as Liverpool One and the Trafford Centre.
Stores in Golden Squarre, independent fashion retailers and big names such as Asda and Marks and Spencer will be among those reducing prices just under a month ahead of Christmas.
Originally an American craze, Black Friday has swept across the UK and Europe in recent years, and this year's sales extravaganza is predicted to be the biggest yet.
Analysts Verdict have predicted that 47 per cent of the UK's shoppers will pick up a bargain tomorrow while Visa Europe has forecast that the country's shoppers will spend £360,000 a minute on their cards.
