Amazon has been on a discounting rampage since mid-November and it certainly won't be slowing down any time soon.

We usually get an early look at the deals a few days before so we can prep highlights of the best ones in advance and then tell you about them as soon as they go live.

And seeing as Amazon has a lot of deals going on at once even on a quiet day, getting straight to the good ones will save you a lot of time browsing through tat.View today's deals: AmazonCurrys impressed us in the Boxing Days sales last year (and more recently on Black Friday) with big discounts on TVs, laptops, gaming consoles, Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners, kitchen electricals and more so expect something similar around Boxing Day.

Very is also a top fashion, home and beauty item retailer too so expect a wide gamut of deals.View today's deals: VeryAO is one of our go-to retailers when we're scouring the net for cheap TV deals or laptop deals all year round.

AO really specialises in home electrics though and it's a fantastic time of year to upgrade with a new fridge, freezer, washing machine, kettle, microwave and the like.View today's deals: AOJohn Lewis doesn't really like sales, but it does like to nab customers from other retailers by offering a price match service.

Why bother with the faff Because John Lewis offers a two year guarantee on a huge selection of items at no extra charge, which is great for peace of mind when buying electrical items.

Despite its disdain for sales, we saw JL unleash some sweet TV, laptop and electrical item deals on Black Friday and it'll get involved again during this sales period. View today's deals: John LewisArgos is one of those retailers who always seem to be having a sale.

As we just said, a lot of stores are starting today and we expect even more will go live on Christmas Day - yes they're pretty keen.

If just before Christmas is the time to scramble for last-minute gifts, anytime from the day itself onwards is the chance to treat yourself or use those gift vouchers to make a great deal a truly spectacular bargain.When do the January sales startExpect an early start here too.

Although if we're going off the last few years, the January sales haven't been particularly special.

It's been all about the Boxing Day deals really, although we're pleased to report some of the better ones stayed online a good few days into January.

January sales are more of a continuation of the remaining Boxing Day sales so you can probably expect to see many stores simply rebrand the sales to 'January sales' the day after Boxing Day on December 27th. Given many workplaces are off until around January 2nd, retailers are keen to show you the best deals as soon as possible while you've got time off at home rather than try to push deals on you while you're heading back to work or nursing that New Year's Eve hangover.
