Black Friday 2024 officially starts on 29 November, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already begun their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier having joined the action last week.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team are compiling hundreds of deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, our liveblog has you covered.

But, whether you’re after a TV, toys, jewellery or furniture, the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the most impressive. The best, genuine deals 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, Dyson’s Black Friday sale has discounted the cultairwrap, Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low and Pandora has just 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.

Save on Garmin this Black Friday

If you’re after a fitness-focused smartwatch, Garmin makes some of my favourite, and right now you can save on the Venu 3.

The Garmin Venu 3 is a fantastic all-rounder, blending fitness tracking with wellness features. As I said in my review, the 1.4in AMOLED screen “always displayed my metrics in even the harshest of lighting conditions”. I appreciated how it gave me a holistic view of my health, providing a score based on sleep, workouts, and stress and letting me know when to take it easy or push harder. I also loved being able to take calls and access guided yoga or meditation directly from my wrist. Right now, you can save £51 off the Garmin Venu 3 this Black Friday.

Looking for a PS5 Pro Black Friday deal?

If you’re looking for a PS5 Pro Black Friday deal, I found one on the EE store where it’s down from £699 to £659. It’s a decent saving, considering it’s only been out for a couple of weeks.

The PS5 Pro is a powerhouse console, boasting support for 8K graphics, more internal memory and enhanced ray tracing and upscaling through Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology. It’s a serious step up, delivering superior performance and outshining the Xbox Series X. Plus, with 2TB of internal storage, you’ll have plenty of space for all your favourite games without worrying about running out of room.

Save £60 on this LED face mask this Black Friday

LED face masks kind of scare me, but they’re actually a pretty cool skincare tool once you get past the initial impression. Beauty writer Lucy’s found a deal on this Currentbody LED face mask and skin kit.

The Currentbody skin LED face and neck kit is one of the only devices in beauty writer Lucy’s experience that can actually help reverse the signs of aging. She described how it made a noticeable difference in her skin: “I inspected my forehead, nasolabial creases and crow’s feet weekly to scout out any noticeable improvements,” she said. “I truly believe that both the former areas appeared filled, more plump and more hydrated towards the end of the testing period.” With £60 off this Black Friday, it’s the perfect time to snap up this clever beauty gadget.
