Calling all deal hunters: Black Friday will officially begin tomorrow (29 November). With that said, Black Friday sales at big-name brands and retailers, from Currys to Boots, have been in full swing for weeks. Here, you’ll find the latest Black Friday news, and the most impressive deals as they drop.
Whether you’re after beauty essentials, a high-spec laptop, a new mattress or a top of the range TV, Black Friday is second to none when it comes to the sheer number of deals available. Throughout the sales, the IndyBest team will be bringing you the best discounts, on tried-and-tested buys, in our Black Friday shopping guides.
From toys to jewellery and furniture, we know the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the best. The most impressive, genuine deals are on products that are actually worth your money, which is why we’ll be bringing you discounts on products that have been tried, tested and approved by us.
Right now, you can save on the Dyson airwrap; Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low, and Pandora has 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.

The best Amazon Black Friday deals
Amazon kicked off its Black Friday week on 21 November and there are now a dizzying number of deals to browse. Daisy, our senior eCommerce writer, has collated all the deals worth knowing about.
As you might expect, Amazon has also slashed the price of its own devices, from 40 per cent off Amazon Fire TV sticks (now £34.99, Amazon.co.uk) and 20 per cent off Kindles (now £124.99, Amazon.co.uk) to deals on the retailer’s Echo dot smart speakers, Ring doorbells and tablets. And, from Ninja to Shark, the sale is seeing discounts on some of our favourite bands, too.

Save on some of our favourite Hoka running shoes
If you’re after a pair of Hoka’s famously cushioned, comfortable running shoes, they’re on sale at various retailers. In our review of the best men’s running shoes, the Hoka clifton 9 were great for long, easy runs – and, with this discount, you’ll get nearly 20 per cent off the tried and tested runners.
When our reviewer took the Hoka clifton 9 shoes for a test run, they described it as lively and run, and great as a casual everyday shoe, too. They found that it provided “an ultra-cushioned ride that is perfect for racking up big miles”, while “the rocker profile makes for smooth heel-to-toe transitions”.
