Black Friday 2024 live: Latest deals on everything from Superdrug to Nintendo

Let’s kick things off by taking a look at some of the retailers who have already launched their Black Friday sale.

First up is Boots, where you’ll find savings of up to 30 per cent across its range of fragrances and cosmetics. The retailer’s £10 Tuesday sale is also in full swing – no prizes for guessing what that sale is about.

Welcome back to the IndyBest Black Friday liveblog. The shopping season is well and truly in full swing ahead of the sale’s official start date of 29 November.

Retailers have kicked off their Black Friday sales early, bringing deals and discounts to everything from air fryers and vacuum cleaners to laptops, phones and more.

Stick with us on the liveblog today to grab the latest discounts as they appear.

That’s all from our Black Friday liveblog for today – thanks as ever for joining us.

We’ll be back again tomorrow morning with more of the latest and best Black Friday discounts, as well as highlights from our collection of Black Friday shopping guides, which we’re always updating.

To find the best Black Friday deals in one place, head over to our main guide. That’s where we’re rounding up discounts on everything from beauty and toys to laptops and electric toothbrushes.

If you don’t fancy a workout with Nintendo Switch Sports, don’t sweat it. We’ve got even more Switch deals over on our guide to the best Black Friday Nintendo deals.

Ahead of the sale and during it, we’ll be rounding up the top discounts on bundles, games and Switch accessories.

Nintendo hasn’t directly discounted the Switch this Black Friday (not yet at least) but the legendary games company is offering deals on bundles including the console, games and Switch Online membership.

The IndyBest team has more Shark fans than a Jaws screening, so it’s only natural that we’ve put together a complete guide to the best Black Friday deals on Shark vacuum cleaners.

We’re updating our shopping guides constantly in the run up to the sale officially kicking off on 29 November, so pop back in to find the latest discounts as they drop.

We’re big fans of Shark hoovers here at IndyBest. And yes, we’re aware that hoover is technically a brand name. And no, we’ll never stop calling them hoovers.

What’s that? You want us to prove that hoover is an acceptable generic term for vacuum cleaners? We’ll do that while you hoover up this £100 saving on a top-rated model from Shark.

While cordless vacuums are certainly useful for moving around the house, sometimes a heavier, corded appliance is what you need for a super deep clean. With Shark’s signature anti hair wrap technology, your vacuum will remove the hair from the brush-roll as you clean, so you don’t have to pull out a matted hair ball at the end.

If that Microsoft Surface Laptop deal is more than you’d like to spend, take a look at our full guide to the best laptop deals this Black Friday.

We’re rounding up the latest discounts on budget-friendly laptops from Lenovo, Asus, Apple and more.

Microsoft has kicked off its early Black Friday sale, dropping discounts of up to 28 per cent across its new Surface Laptop range. While far from the cheapest laptop deal you’re going to find, this is a big saving on a premium device. If you’ve been eyeing up Microsoft’s rival to the MacBook, now’s your chance to grab one for less.

I’m a big fan of the Surface Laptop, featuring it on my round-up of the best laptops of 2024. The device is as near to a MacBook-style experience as you’ll find on any Windows laptop. Meanwhile, the minimalist design, unified and streamlined software, and premium build quality all scream top-tier, with none of the usual bloatware and tacked-on apps found in other high-end Windows laptops.

The Xbox Series X has also received a price cut ahead of the Black Friday sale, albeit a small one. I’ve rounded up the best Black Friday deals on the Xbox in my article below. There are also discounts on the wireless controller and internal storage cards, as well as games such as FC 25 and Death Stranding.
