With less than two weeks to go until Black Friday’s main event, we’re already seeing hundreds of early deals from major brands and retailers, including Currys, Argos, Boots, Shark and more, so you can start your shopping right away.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop, or invest in a new mattress, the team has been compiling the most impressive deals so far on every product category imaginable in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for a real-time stream of discounts and news, our liveblog has you covered.

The Black Friday sales could save you cash on a TV, toys, jewellery and furniture, but the steepest discounts aren’t necessarily the best deals. The most impressive discounts 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, Samsung has started its sale, Ghd is offering up to 25 per cent off everything, Oodie has 50 per cent off blanket hoodies and Dyson is offering hundreds of pounds off its products. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at Boots, Currys, Argos, Lookfantastic and more, in what some are calling their biggest Black Friday sale ever.

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.

Xbox Series X Black Friday deals

All right, so there aren’t many good Black Friday deals on the Xbox Series X just yet, but you can get a small £25 saving on the console at Amazon. Hopefully more will drop soon, but for now, this is the best I’ve got.

The Xbox Series X is the most powerful gaming console Microsoft makes. Large and cuboid but completely silent, it matches the performance of a high-end gaming PC – loading games in a snap and booting up menus in a fraction of a second. Right now, you can save £25 on the console at Amazon.

I’ve also found deals on the Xbox Series S, plus Xbox controllers and games in my article below. Feel free to have a browse, I’ll be sorting together more Xbox deals as they drop:

Suck up this Shark vacuum cleaner deal

If you’re looking for a new vacuum cleaner this Black Friday, then one of the IndyBest team’s favourites is currently on sale at Amazon.

It’s always a good day when one of The Independent’s tried-and-tested best buy products are on sale, and that’s exactly what you have here with IndyBest’s best buy cordless vacuum from Shark. After putting it to the test, Zoe was blown away by how intuitive the machine was, saying: “The suction power on carpet and hard floors is a dream. It’s constantly working out what power levels you need to pick up the most mess.” Doing all the work for you, it now comes with almost £200 off the price at Shark.

This is a brilliant MacBook Air Black Friday deal

If you’re looking for a new MacBook Air this Black Friday, then you’re in luck! I’ve found this pretty spectacular deal on the latest and greatest M3 MacBook Air at John Lewis.

There’s a £75 saving on the latest 13in MacBook Air at John Lewis right now. “The Air’s speed and battery life are outstanding and more than enough for almost everyone. In fact, the Apple MacBook Air is the best general-use laptop you can buy, with gorgeous looks, weight and thickness that are the ultimate in portability, and deeply impressive performance,” David Phelan, The Independent’s tech critic said in his review.

Black Friday mattress deals

The best part about Black Friday is that you can finally get a good night’s rest, because a bunch of mattresses go on sale during the price-cutting bonanza. In fact, plenty of bed-in-a-box brands have already begun slashing prices.

Eve Sleep premium hybrid mattress, double: Was £949, now £549, Evesleep.co.uk

(Eve Sleep)

A great deal from Eve Sleep this Black Friday with a generous 40 per cent off, the premium hybrid mattress is a fusion of spring, foam and over 1,400 full-sized pocket springs. When testing this mattress, interiors writer Ali said: “On this I had the best night’s sleep in years. This is thanks to the hybrid premium’s clever fusion of full-size springs and layer upon layer of innovative foam. The mattress boasts memory foam that isolates movement, meaning there’s no motion transfer if you sleep next to a night fidget – but then again, the night fidgeting seems to have ceased anyway, and I’m getting a great night’s sleep all round.”

Mountain Warehouse Black Friday deals

Outdoor brand Mountain Warehouse has launched some early Black Friday discounts, and the sale includes everything from hiking boots to padded down jackets. Most are on clearance, so they’re at rock-bottom prices.

Its men’s padded jacket has been reduced by a huge 63 per cent, while the women’s extreme down jacket has been slashed from £210, down to just £100.

Will Adanola have a Black Friday sale?

Adanola’s a bit of a weird one. Unlike other sportswear brands, such as Gymshark and Aybl, Adanola decided last year that it wasn’t going to have a Black Friday sale. I’m not sure if it’s sticking with that decision this year, but I have reached out and will keep you posted. It only made the announcement a week before Black Friday. Here’s what the brand said last year over on Instagram:

When will Uniqlo Black Friday sales begin?

(AP)

If you’re a fan of Uniqlo’s effortless and minimalist chic, you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer for the brand to kick off its sale. I predict that Uniqlo won’t be starting its sale until the Thursday before Black Friday (28 November) if it follows the same pattern as last year.
