Black Friday 2024 live: Latest deals so far, from Samsung S95D TV to Dunelm
Brands and retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales early, with deals on Ninja, PlayStation, Yoto and more
Black Friday 2024 kicks off in less than a week, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already kicked off their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier joining this weekend.
Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team is 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 while Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low. 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.

PlayStation Black Friday deals have begun, with PS5 at all-time low price.
The biggest bit of Black Friday news for me today is that Sony PlayStation has kicked off its Black Friday sales, and the company has discounted both the PS5 Slim disc and PS5 Slim digital edition consoles to their lowest-ever prices. If you’re in the market for a new console, now’s the best time to grab one.
PS5 Slim digital edition console: Was £389.99, now £309.99, Amazon.co.uk
The all-digital PS5 Slim has smashed to its lowest price yet this Black Friday, with an £80 discount. While it skips the disc drive, you can always add one at a later date if you fancy it. The Slim comes with upgraded internal storage, so you’ll have plenty of space for all your games. Performance-wise, it’s identical to the disc edition, so you don’t need to worry about getting an inferior product.
Is today Black Friday?
Good morning shoppers, and happy Friday.
While today is indeed Friday, it’s not technically Black Friday. Black Friday starts next week, but let’s not quibble about the specifics. Black Friday has basically already started, with plenty of retailers slashing prices on all the top products I’ve had my eye on throughout the year.

The Nespresso vertu pop is now less than £70
Nespresso has produced some very pocket-friendly coffee machines. Case in point, the vertu pop – which , with this deal, is even more of a steal. With a 30 per cent discount, the price has dropped to less than £70.
Nespresso vertu pop: Was £99, now £69, Nespresso.com
“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. And with this discount, what’s not to love?
Don’t miss this rare Toniebox deal
While deals on the Toniebox don’t come around often, this one sees the children’s audio player discounted by 20 per cent – so, you can tick one more name off your Christmas shopping list for less.
Tonies toniebox, pink: Was £79.95, now £63.96, Tonies.com
“This versatile audio player has been designed firmly with kids in mind; it’s soft and padded (with no pointy corners), durable and completely intuitive to use”, one of our reviewers said of the Toniebox. “Our four-year-old testers were able to skip through songs or chapters and operate the volume controls immediately”, they added.

Keep warm with a half price Oodie
It’s cold – very cold – so, why not grab yourself an Oodie (an extremely cosy upgrade from your regular hoodie) to keep the chill at bay? Happily, the OG blanket hoodie brand has launched its Black Friday sale, with 50 per cent off.
The Oodie, black: Was £65, now £32.50, Theoodie.co.uk
Oodie’s hoodie received high praise in IndyBest’s review of the best blanket hoodies, with the oversized hoodie found to be “very oversized, cocooning our 6ft tester down to the knees”. With a hood and a front pouch, the hoodie also features a super-soft sherpa fleece lining. “Large enough to curl beneath it on the sofa but still sufficiently fitted and lightweight to move around the house while working from home, the Oodie will be a saviour when temperatures plummet,” said our reviewer.
Clean up with this Oral-B deal
We rated the Oral-B Pro 3 the best electric toothbrush in our round-up, and right now, it’s just £35.
Oral-B Pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £35, Boots.com
Praised for its low price and effective cleaning power, the brush is noisier than the premium iO range but cleans just as well, according to our tester. “This budget-friendly electric toothbrush might lack the bells and whistles of its pricier iO siblings, but the oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean.”
