The biggest sale of the year is just a few weeks away but early Black Friday offers have already started dropping across major retailers. To help you spot the best deals, our Black Friday liveblog is tracking the latest discounts on everything from tech, TVs and laptops to beauty, clothing, mattresses and home appliances.

Whether you’re shopping for a Ninja air fryer, a Simba mattress, the Apple Airpods or anything in between – the likes of Samsung, Zara, Lookfantastic and Amazon are dropping prices across entire ranges of products.

With discounts popping up earlier every year, we’re expecting even more brands to launch their Black Friday events ahead of the official sale dates (29 November to 2 December). Boots, Argos, Currys, Dyson and John Lewis have all kicked off proceedings with what many of them are calling their biggest Black Friday sales ever. Elsewhere, hundreds of deals are arriving across pretty much every category you can think of.

We’ve been covering the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales for years here at IndyBest, so, we know how to spot a good deal from a dud. If it’s got a decent discount (and it’s worth your money), you’ll find it here.

Argos started dropping its first early Black Friday deals not so long ago, so you don’t need to wait till the end of November to bag a bargain on tech, toys and home appliances. I’ve been monitoring what’s on offer in my guide below, but here’s a quick rundown; our favourite Oral-B toothbrush is less than half price at the minute (now £35, Argos.co.uk), while the cult favourite Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumiser (now £25, Argos.co.uk) is exactly half price.

Dyson’s early Black Friday deals include £100 off the corrale straighteners

(Dyson)

In our review of the corrale straighteners, we called them an “truly innovative tool”, with our reviewer saying that they make “styling your hair – whether that’s straight or curly – a breeze”, owing to being cordless. And, the flexing plates “make straightening in one pass a reality, meaning your hair can be heat-styled quickly and with less heat damage”.
