Black Friday 2024 live: Latest deals on Xbox, Le Creuset and Shark at Amazon, Currys and more
Retailers are kicking off early, with deals on everything from the Toniebox to Jo Malone
The early Black Friday sales are well underway ahead of the official start date of 29 November. From Currys and Argos to Boots and Shark, major brands are already dropping their best deals, so you can start your shopping right away.
You’ll find the creme de la creme of deals so far in our shopping guides, plus, for a real-time stream of discounts and Black Friday news, our liveblog has you covered.
Whatever you’re looking for in the sales, whether that be a TV, laptop, mattress or beauty products, the steepest discounts aren’t necessarily the best deals. The true savings are on products that are actually worth your money, so, we’ll be highlighting deals on products we’ve tested ourselves.
In terms of the brands and retailers already on the Black Friday train (ahead of the official sale dates of 29 November to 2 December), Samsung has started its sale, Oodie is offering 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.

iPad 10th-generation Black Friday deals 2024
If you’re looking for a deal on the 10th-generation iPad this Black Friday, there aren’t too many offers around just yet, but you can save about £40 at Amazon.
Apple iPad, 10th generation, 2022: Was £349, now £308.97, Amazon.co.uk
With a discount of £40, the 2022 iPad has fallen to one of its lowest prices. “The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad air, which usually costs £170 more,” The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion,” he added.
Best Lego Black Friday deals 2024
Lego Duplo Peppa Pig supermarket: Was £59.99, now £37.78, Amazon.co.uk
Fans of Peppa Pig are bound to squeal with delight at this adorable Lego set. It was dubbed one of the best gifts for two-year-olds by our reviewer, Sarah, who said: “The chunky bricks are ideal for small children, and the supermarket theme is great for those starting to enjoy role play, as you take the whole family to buy ingredients to make a cake.” The set features Peppa, George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig, as well as plenty of fun accessories. Even better, it now comes with a discount of more than 35 per cent at Amazon.
Best dehumidifier Black Friday deals 2024
Robert Dyas has kicked off its Black Friday sale, and the retailer has just slashed my favourite dehumidifier for flats by £10. A small saving but, considering the appliance is almost never on sale, it’s still worth snapping up.
Meaco Dry ABC dehumidifer: Was £149.99, now £139.99, Robertdyas.co.uk
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Meaco’s tiny dehumidifier has kind of changed my life. It solved the condensation issue in my bathroom before I got it fixed; it made living through heat waves a tiny bit more bearable; it helped me dry my clothes through the autumn and winter months; and it quickly dried out my room after Storm Isha made an appearance. That’s 365 days of use right there, and I always forget that it’s even on. It’s affordable, small and, best of all, it works.
Lois is busy rounding up even more dehumidifier Black Friday deals in her article below:

The best iPhone 16 Black Friday deal has landed
The best iPhone 16 deal right now is at Giffgaff, where you can get the device with a £50 discount.
Apple iPhone 16: Was £829, now £779, giffgaff.com
You’ll need to buy a £10 plan with Giffgaff to take advantage of the offer but, depending on the plan you choose, you can cancel or change it as soon as you’ve paid. This year’s base iPhone 16 gets the new A18 chip, rather than using the chip from last year’s Pro phones, giving it speedy all-round performance. If you’ve been thinking of upgrading, now may be the time to invest.
Black Friday microwave deals
While I’m on the subject of cooking, if you’re looking for a new microwave this Black Friday, Ella’s rounding up the best deals in the sale, and she’s spotted a deal on this Salter microwave from Currys, which landed the top spot in kitchen appliance expert Rachael’s guide to the best microwaves.
Salter duowave two-in-one air fryer and microwave: Was £249, now £182, Currys.co.uk
With a £60 discount, this microwave doubles up as an air fryer, meaning you can save lots of counter space. Securing the top spot in Rachael’s review of the best microwaves, this model was described as being “perfect for busy households”, because whatever dish Rachael wanted to cook, “this machine had a function to do it”.

Forget Le Creuset queues, here’s a deal on the casserole dish online
Over the weekend, thousands of people queued for more than four hours outside a warehouse in Hampshire, to get their hands on... no, not Oasis tickets, but discounts on Le Creuset’s range of colourful cookware. The sale was so popular, the police had to be called in to try and deal with the crowds and traffic chaos.
Well, guess what – you don’t need to queue outside in the cold to get some nice kitchenware. Amazon’s got a discount on Le Creuset’s classic cast iron casserole dish.
Le Creuset signature cast iron casserole dish: Was £209, now £148.61, Amazon.co.uk
Appearing in our reviewer Rachael’s round-up of the best casserole dishes, this classic casserole dish now has a discount of almost £50, ahead of the Black Friday sale. “This dish can be used on all types of hobs, including induction, as well as under the grill and in the oven. It is heavy, weighing in at 4.3kg, but has two good side handles and one on the lid, which offer a great grip even when wearing oven gloves,” Rachael said.

Garmin Black Friday deals
If you’re looking to up your fitness in the new year, then Amazon’s currently got a deal on Garmin’s running watch that might take your fancy. You can save almost £100 right now.
Garmin Forerunner 255 smartwatch: Was £329.99, now £237, Amazon.co.uk
Although simpler than the Garmin Forerunner 955 and with fewer features, the 255 still includes a wide range of health and fitness tracking functions, including a race widget to help you prepare for your next event. There’s also a whole catalogue of daily workout suggestions, a widget for estimating your recovery time after each exercise session, and detailed running metrics, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance.
Best SIM-only Black Friday deals
If you’re looking to swap your mobile phone carrier to a cheaper option this Black Friday, you can already find some deals on SIM-only contracts. That means you’re free to use these SIM cards in any phone, just slot it into the SIM tray and off you go. It’s usually cheaper than buying a phone together with a data contract.
Our tech writer, Steve, has also rounded up more deals on phones, so, check out his article below:

When will the British Airways Black Friday deals begin in 2024?
Speaking of holiday deals, if you’re wondering when the British Airways Black Friday offers will begin in 2024, it probably won’t be until the week of Black Friday itself. Last year, BA kicked off its Black Friday bonanza on the Wednesday before Black Friday, so, I’m not expecting to see any bargain flights drop until Wednesday 27 November (although, I’m open to early surprises).
When will Tui Black Friday deals begin?
It’s getting frightfully cold out there. If you’re anything like me, you’ve started browsing for holiday deals that will take you to hotter climes. Tui always has some of the best Black Friday deals on travel and holidays but when will the deals drop?
Last year, Tui kicked off its holiday discounts on Monday 20 November – that was the week of Black Friday. So, if it follows the same pattern, we could see Tui launching its deals on Monday 25 November this year.
