Black Friday 2024 – live: Latest news and early sales
Whether you’re looking for Apple airpods or budget skincare, you’re in the right place
With just weeks to go until the main event, early Black Friday offers are now dropping daily. As the biggest sale of the year, the deals bonanza is your chance to save across tech, TVs and laptops, as well as beauty, clothing, mattresses and home appliances.
Whether you’re looking for Apple Airpods, Ninja air fryers, Shark cordless vacuums, Simba mattresses or Elemis skincare, all the biggest brands and retailers take part – think Zara, Lookfantastic, Amazon, John Lewis, Pandora and many more.
With the discounts seeming to drop earlier each year, we’re expecting plenty of brands to launch their Black Friday events in the weeks leading up to the official sale dates (29 November to 2 December). Boots, Argos, Currys and John Lewis have all just kicked off proceedings with what many of them are calling their biggest Black Friday sales ever. Elsewhere, hundreds of deals are arriving across pretty much every category you can think of.
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.

Score a rare saving on Apple Airpods
Hefty savings on Apple products are extremely rare, until the Black Friday month of November, when iPhones, iPads, AirPods and more are heavily reduced. From Currys to Argos to John Lewis and Very, plenty of brands slash the price of products at the start of November (Apple itself doesn’t take part in the sale).
You can find the best early Apple deals below, including a mega Airpods saving.
Apple AirPods, 3rd generation: Was £149, now £129, Amazon.co.uk
There’s a £20 saving to be had on Apple’s third-generation AirPods at Amazon. In our review, our tester said the “improved audio is noticeable, especially with spatial audio and the new shape”. The AirPods Pro are better sounding, thanks to active noise cancelling, but if that’s not a feature you need – perhaps you live a monastic life alone in the woods – this is a great deal on the basic pair.
The Argos Black Friday 2024 sale has started
A one-stop shop for savings on big-name brands in previous years (think Lego, De’Longhi, Revlon and BaByliss), Argos has already discounted products from the likes of Dyson, Revlon, and Lego.
Whether you’re looking to save money on an air fryer, TV, gaming gear or beauty tools, Argos has you covered. To save you scrolling, we’ve picked out some savings you can shop right now - and they’re only going to get better.
