Black Friday 2024 live: Latest deals on AirPods 4, Xbox, Audible subscriptions and more
Retailers are kicking off early, with deals on everything from the Toniebox to Jo Malone
The early Black Friday sales are in full swing, with retailers like Currys, Argos, Boots and Shark dropping their best deals ahead of the official start date of 29 November.
You’ll find all of the best deals in our shopping guides, but for a real-time stream of the latest 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.

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.
