I've found the latest deals across beauty, tech, home and more (The Independent )The Black Friday sales might not officially start until this Friday, but the discounts are already dropping thick and fast at hundreds of UK retailers and brands. Amazon’s Black Friday week is a go, Currys, John Lewis and Argos have all launched early savings, and Charlotte Tilbury, Nintendo, Dyson and Ninja have fired the starting gun.
I’ve covered enough Black Fridays to know what’s worth your money and which products and deals you should scroll past. The discounts worth your attention are always the ones that you can actually rely on to last years. Early favourites so far include £100 off the Oura ring 4, a rare saving on the Dyson supersonic hairdryer, the team’s favourite heated clothes airer for £25 at Argos, and much more.
Before you get lured in by anything with a big red sticker, make a quick list of what you actually need. It makes doing your research a lot easier. Our consumer team also has practical advice on getting value out of the sales. So, without further ado, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a nice scroll – let’s go hunting for deals.

So far, two items have returned, including a pair of collectible W Inc. designer sunglasses (9,500 Robux) and a lampshade accessory (350 Robux). Six more throwback items will appear throughout the week, and you’ll only find out what each one is on the day.
