Black Friday 2024 live: Latest UK offers from John Lewis, Tesco, Nespresso and more
Black Friday sales at the likes of Currys, Amazon, Pandora and Boots are well underway
Calling all deal hunters: Black Friday will officially begin tomorrow (29 November). With that said, Black Friday sales at big-name brands and retailers, from Currys to Boots, have been in full swing for weeks. Here, you’ll find the latest Black Friday news, and the most impressive deals as they drop.
Whether you’re after beauty essentials, a high-spec laptop, a new mattress or a top of the range TV, Black Friday is second to none when it comes to the sheer number of deals available. Throughout the sales, the IndyBest team will be bringing you the best discounts, on tried-and-tested buys, in our Black Friday shopping guides.
From toys to jewellery and furniture, we know the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the best. The most impressive, genuine deals are on products that are actually worth your money, which is why we’ll be bringing you discounts on products that have been tried, tested and approved by us.
Right now, you can save on the Dyson airwrap; Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low, and Pandora has 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.

Get this Nespresso coffee machine for less than £70
One of Nespresso’s already pocket-friendly coffee machines, I’ve just spotted a deal on the vertu pop.
Nespresso vertu pop: Was £99, now £69, Currys.co.uk
“With its bright pop of colour, tiny size and quick and easy coffee-making capabilities, we only have good things to say about this cost-cutting coffee machine”, said our reviewer. They also noted that it’s “all incredibly sleek and streamlined”, which makes it a great pick for those coffee drinkers looking for a “fuss-free” appliance. “All used pods are stored in a tray inside, which can be pulled out and thrown away, and one simple button on the top is all you need to press”, they explained.
Save £50 on our favourite Garmin watch
In our review of the Garmin watches, the vivoactive 5 came out on top, and I’ve just spotted a discount that will see a saving of £50 on the wearable.
Garmin vivoactive 5: Was £229, now £178.99, Johnlewis.com
“The first thing we noticed about the vivoactive 5 was its sleek, streamlined design”, said fitness gear expert Zoe, when she reviewed the vivoactive 5. “Once on, we loved that it weighed next to nothing (23g, to be precise), which meant we barely noticed it on the wrist”, she added. In terms of what it can track, it covers fitness metrics like steps, heart rate, distance, calories burned, sleep quality, and more than 30 preloaded sports. It also boasts a sleep coaching capability, providing you with a sleep score and personalised sleep coaching.
Save a whopping £450 on our best gaming laptop
Zeroing in on gaming deals, here’s a phenomenal deal on a gaming laptop.
Razer blade 14: Was £2,349, now £1,899, Currys.co.uk
The Razer blade 14 was hailed as the best laptop for gaming by our tech writer, Steve. “The 2560 x 1600 display runs at a silky smooth 240Hz, but the hardware can easily handle 4K gaming when plugged into an external monitor. The 1TB SSD is plenty for your Steam library, while neat design touches like the expansive glass touchpad, comfortable keyboard and generally minimalist looks mean the Razer Blade 14 can do double duties as a creative work laptop,” he noted. Snap this deal up while you can.
