While Black Friday traditionally takes place on 29 November, in recent years the sales event has morphed into a month-long shopping bonanza. Hundreds of early deals have been dropping across major brands and retails over the last couple of weeks (Currys, Argos, Boots and Shark, to name a few), so you can start your shopping right away.
As always, the IndyBest team has been compiling all the best deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. Plus, for a real-time stream of discounts and Black Friday news, our liveblog has you covered.
This is your chance to score savings on a new TV, a high-spec laptop, a new mattress, and cult favourite beauty products, 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.

With the launch of the cheaper Meta Quest 3S for £290, Meta has repriced the existing Meta Quest 3 to make its original (and still best) VR headset more enticing. The 512GB model is the most storage you can get and has come down from £619.99 to £469. It features more sophisticated lenses than those found in the budget Meta Quest 3S, so visuals look a little sharper, and it’s slimmer too.
