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.

The Apple ipad 10th gen has fallen to one of its lowest prices

While Apple doesn’t get involved in Black Friday, the tech giant’s gadgets see discounts at third-party retailers. As for iPads, our tech writer, Alex, expects the biggest reductions to be applied to entry-level tablets (the 10th-generation model and 9th-generation models). Here’s a deal you can snap up right now.

With a discount of £40, the 2022 iPad has fallen to one of its lowest prices. “The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad air, which usually costs £170 more,” our tester said in their review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion,” they added.

Now for a sizzling deal on a Ninja air fryer

When it comes to convenience, an air fryer can be a real game changer, helping you whip up meals without the faff. If you’re yet to invest in one, Ninja has already launched its Black Friday sale, with up to £70 off kitchen appliances, from air fryers to ice cream makers.
