Black Friday 2024 officially starts on 29 November, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already begun their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier having joined the action last week.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team are compiling hundreds of deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, our liveblog has you covered.

But, whether you’re after a TV, toys, jewellery or furniture, the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the most impressive. The best, genuine deals are those on products that are actually worth your money, so we’ll make sure to bring you offers on items we’ve tested ourselves.

So far, Dyson’s Black Friday sale has discounted the cultairwrap, Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low and Pandora has just launched its sale with up to 30 per cent off jewellery. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at John Lewis, Argos, Lookfantastic and more. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Friday sales ever.

Save on the iPhone 15 Pro this Black Friday

Smartphones always see some of the largest price cuts on Black Friday, and that’s no different this year. From the Google Pixel 8 Pro to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, there are deals t be found. Tech writer Steve is busy rounding up the best price cuts on mobile phones, and he’s even spotted a spicy price cut on the iPhone 15 Pro.

If you’ve been eyeing the iPhone 15 Pro, now is the time to grab it at a discounted price. It’s currently £849, down from £999 at Laptops Direct. This is the model I use every day, and despite the launch of the iPhone 16 Pro, I chose not to upgrade because the 15 Pro gets all the exact same AI features at the 16 Pro. It’s not a huge upgrade.

I haven’t seen the AirTag this cheap in years

After two years of price hikes, Apple’s AirTags are finally back at a price I haven’t seen since before the cost increase. A pack of four is now available for just £84 at Amazon, so if you’ve been waiting to grab these, now’s the time to act before prices change again. I’ve been tracking the price since their release in 2022, and this is the best deal I’ve seen since the hike.

My favourite robot vacuum is now on sale

I’ve tested a lot of robot vacuum cleaners, but there’s one I keep coming back to – the Eufy X10 Pro. Right now, you can save almost 30 per cent on the autonomous vacuum, saving you both time and money.

This little sucker really can do it all. The Eufy X10 Pro features both a mop and a high-suction vacuum, and can even refill its own water tank, dry its mops, and empty its dustbag. The only maintenance I need to do is refill the water in the clean base. I absolutely love it, and it’s even cheaper in the Black Friday sale.

Here’s a well-brewed coffee machine Black Friday deal

If you’re fed up of giving all your money to Starbucks, then it’s probably time you invested in a coffee machine, which is much more wallet-friendly than those daily coffee runs.

(Nespresso)

The Nespresso Vertuo Pop is Nespresso’s most affordable coffee machine, and it’s earned rave reviews from the IndyBest team, with Lauren particularly impressed. Now, with a nearly 50% discount on Amazon, it’s an even better deal. The “small but mighty” machine is compact at just 3.5kg, making it easy to store away in larger cupboards when not in use. It’s a great addition to any kitchen, offering convenience without taking up much space, all while delivering quality coffee. If you’re looking to upgrade your coffee game at home, this is a solid choice.
