Shops have been busy as people take advantage of discounted prices on Black Friday.
US shops traditionally offer big discounts on the Friday after the US Thanksgiving holiday.
These offers have been increasingly common in the UK in recent years.
UK-owned companies have also tried to emulate what is the busiest shopping day of the year in the US.
John Lewis is offering 50 per cent off some electrical items, and 25 per cent off a selection of televisions amongst other promotions.
Online retail giant Amazon is also discounting some of its goods on its UK site.
However the rush to secure the best bid can lead to scuffles, with one incidentinside the Asda Superstore at Cribbs Causeway near Bristol, leading to the arrest of a 35 year old man.
