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.

Best Ninja Black Friday deals 2024
The Currys Black Friday sale is on, and the tech retailer has discounted Ninja’s wildly popular single-basket air fryer by a tasty £30.
Ninja air fryer AF100UK: Was £99.99, now £69.99, Currys.co.uk
This compact air fryer from Ninja comes with a 30 per cent discount at Currys. It received rave reviews when our tester, Lauren, put it through its paces. Despite “using up to 75 per cent less fat than traditional frying methods, you still get a good crunch. Its generous 3.8l basket can fit a medium-sized chicken and allows you to air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate,” Lauren said. What more could you want?

Save £150 on the Meta Quest 3
Looking to dive into the world of virtual reality? The Meta Quest 3 is one of my favourite virtual reality headsets, and it’s currently got a 25 per cent discount at Amazon.
Meta Quest 3 512GB: Was £619.99, now £469, Amazon.co.uk
With the launch of the cheaper Meta Quest 3S for £290, Meta has repriced the existing Meta Quest 3 to make its original (and still best) VR headset more enticing. The 512GB model is the most storage you can get and has come down from £619.99 to £469. It features more sophisticated lenses than those found in the budget Meta Quest 3S, so visuals look sharper, there’s a wider field of view, and you get full-colour passthrough when using mixed-reality mode.
Sage coffee machine Black Friday deals
Looking to wake up to some barista-worthy coffees? Sage makes some of the best coffee machines, and one of our top picks is on sale at John Lewis,
Sage creatisa pro: Was £679, now £479, Johnlewis.com
Now with £200 off, this is a great deal on this Nespresso-friendly Sage coffee machine. “This pod machine is all bells and whistles. It takes traditional Nepresso pods, which you can load in, then the touch-screen menu takes you through all the coffees it can make,” our reviewer, Zoe, said. “As well as espresso and americanos, it can do milk-based coffees such as flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos. I was impressed that it caters for even, ahem, particular coffee drinkers, as you can tweak the volume and temperature of your coffee and milk,” she added.
When will Zara Black Friday deals start?
Zara is one of fashion writer Daisy’s favourite brands, offering up classic pieces and wardrobe essentials. The fashion brand always goes big on Black Friday. But when will it take place?
If previous years are anything to go by, I expect Zara’s 2024 event to land on the brand’s app around 10pm on Thursday 28 November, the eve of Black Friday. Daisy’s already spotted some super deals live at Zara, however.

Best laptop Black Friday deals 2024
Laptops are hot property on Black Friday, so, if you’re looking to upgrade your ageing machine, there’s no time like the present. The Dell XPS 13 is one of our tech writer Steve’s favourite laptops, and it’s currently on sale.

Right now, you can save £250 on this 512GB Dell laptop. When tech writer Steve put it to the test, he said: “The Dell XPS 13 is a brilliant little laptop. It’s thin, portable and lightweight.” He also praised the Snapdragon X Elite chip, saying: “The new chip delivers truly impressive battery life and performance.” He added: “The minimalist flat keyboard, haptic function row and invisible trackpad might split opinion, but I think it’s a striking piece of design.”
Steve’s rounding up even more laptop deals in his article:

Does Apple do Black Friday?
Kind of. While Apple doesn’t really take part in Black Friday in the traditional sense, the tech giant always offers up gift cards in exchange for a purchase during the four-day Black Friday sale.
Apple announced its Black Friday gift card perks a week in advance last year, so, it could give us a flavour of what it’s offering on Friday 22 November this year.
That said, if you want a deal on Apple tech, I’ve already rounded up some savings below:

Pandora Black Friday details 2024
Jewellery fans, Pandora’s Black Friday sale is almost here. While the brand hasn’t announced when the deals will start exactly, our senior eCommerce writer, Daisy, has been covering Black Friday sales for years, and she thinks Pandora’s could well begin on the Thursday before the main event.
For My Pandora members, the discounts could drop even earlier. In 2023, the Pandora Black Friday offers launched on Monday 20 November for subscribers, so, you might be able to pick up some bling even earlier. Read Daisy’s article below for the lowdown:
When will the Pandora Black Friday 2024 sale start?

When will Gymshark’s Black Friday sale start this year?
Black Friday really is the best time to find some discounts on athleisure wear and gym clothes. Top of my list? Gymshark. The retailer has announced that it will begin its sale on Saturday this week.
It will be taking up to 70 per cent off everything on its site and in-store from 16 November. I’d recommend updating your wishlist now, so you can check out with ease when the brand’s Black Friday offers drop on Saturday.
Is Adanola having a Black Friday sale this year?
We’re not too sure yet. Last year, activewear brand Adanola announced that it wasn’t participating in the Black Friday sales as it didn’t “align with [its] efforts to deliver quality products at an accessible price and supply products to genuine demand”. We don’t see why that would change this year, but we’ll keep an eye on the brand’s socials and let you know. Adanola revealed its decision not to participate a week before the start of the sale in 2023.
