John Lewis may not be a brand one associates with bargain shopping, but the retailer does offer some great discounts and chances to save up to 50% on selected items.
So what is the John Lewis sales start date and what can you expect to see at a discounted price?
When Are the Next John Lewis Sale Dates?
John Lewis is one of the biggest high-end retailers in the UK, in business since 1864. Perfect for style-conscious shoppers as well as those on the hunt for quality and value, John Lewis department stores offer a variety of products ranging from home furniture & appliances, sports & leisure equipment as well as fashionable clothes, make-up and skincare.
Typically, John Lewis has ongoing sales throughout the year that can give you 20 to 30% off major brands like Ted Baker, Hobbs and the company’s own Anyday collection.
In addition to these, there are three major sales that the company launches annually:
- Summer Sale—usually takes place in the middle of June, but this year the sale began on the 1 of July and lasted all the way to the end of August, with special offers of up to 50% off on selected categories, including clothing, makeup, electricals and furniture.
- Black Friday Sale—Last year’s Black Friday sale had huge discounts with offers ranging from 70% off on tech and electronics, 45% off on homeware, and up to 30% off on beauty and fashion collections.
- Boxing Day/ Winter Sale—Shoppers can take advantage of great savings opportunities, going up to half off on various sale items. This seasonal deal begins on 26 December and lasts until the end of January (combining the Boxing Day and John Lewis winter sale dates into one event). The Boxing day sale at John Lewis is usually on both online and in-store.
Plus there are exclusive chances to get gift cards and vouchers—currently there is a £100 e-gift card on offer if you buy one of the qualifying TVs or electricals between 7 and 31 October.
On top of that, John Lewis runs clearance sales on items about to be discontinued or other selected products. These sales are held twice a year—in June and after Christmas in-store and from 5 pm on Christmas Eve online.

5. Save more with cashback
Using cash-back shopping apps is another great way to save more when shopping at John Lewis or any retailer for that matter. You may be unable to use cashback cards and apps when shopping the sales, but they are a great way to get more for your money outside the sale dates.
6. Use vouchers and discount codes
There are plenty of promo codes to be found on coupon sites that can give you anything from 10% off selected electricals to 20% off or more on clothes, homeware and beauty products.

Since John Lewis offers lots of premium brands in addition to their own range of products, make a wish list beforehand by browsing through their website or shops.

8. Make sure it’s not cheaper somewhere else
Don’t be quick to jump on sale dates, especially those released by high-end retailers. Before heading to John Lewis stores, make sure you’ve checked elsewhere for the products you want to purchase in case they are cheaper at another department store. It never hurts to shop around for the best deal.
