As Black Friday has snowballed in popularity, brands have started launching their deals earlier in November, rather than waiting until Black Friday itself (Friday 29 November).
Keep your eyes peeled throughout November, as we expect to see a range of retailers kick off their sales early in the month and add fresh deals closer to the time too.
The hotly anticipated Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event is also running on 8 and 9 October if you're wanting to snap up an early deal. This second instalment of the popular Prime Day sale promises to be another shopping extravaganza - just bear in mind you need to be a Prime member to reap the rewards. You can sign up and get more info here.
What are the most popular Black Friday deals?
You can expect big ticket items like appliances and tech that have huge discounts to fly off the (virtual) shelves, as many consumers will wait until the sales to grab a bargain on these expensive items. Amazon devices such as Echo Dots and Fire TV Sticks are usually popular products on Black Friday too.
We also expect everyday household cleaning items, such as bulk packs of dishwasher tablets, to be a go-to choice for shoppers too, particularly with the cost of living crisis and many people wanting to find a deal on essentials.
It's also a fantastic time of year for new parents or parents-to-be to shop for those expensive but essential baby items. Don't miss our guide to the best Black Friday pram deals and baby product discounts if you're expecting or have a newborn.

Tips for finding the best Amazon Black Friday deals
The beauty of Amazon is the huge range of products it stocks, meaning you can tick many things off of your list in one go. Searching out the best deals can be difficult though, even if you're only sticking to one site for it all, so we'll be on hand throughout November with all the top Amazon Black Friday deals, right on this page. Don't forget to bookmark it and keep checking back as we'll be updating it regularly with fresh discounts.
Mumsnet users usually recommend having a list before you go, particularly if you're planning on hitting Amazon on Black Friday for Christmas shopping, to keep you on task.
Think about who you need to buy for and what you want to get them. Are there any other things you'd be buying for the house anyway or any treats you've had your eye on? Writing a list will keep you focused and ensure you get the deals you really want before they're sold out. And then when you're done, if the odd impulse purchase catches your eye, you can buy safe in the knowledge that you're not missing out on what you've been needing or coveting for a while.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop the Amazon Black Friday deals?
No, it's not essential, but to get the most out of the Amazon Black Friday sales it is recommended. You will still be able to shop the sales without an upgraded account, but a Prime subscription can give you early access to some lightning deals hosted by Amazon.
The best feature of Prime for frequent shoppers, however, has to be the free next day delivery offered on many products across Amazon (do double check though, as the delivery times may be slightly longer on some products and brands). Oh, and you'll also get access to the Prime Video and Prime Music streaming services. Now that's what we call a good deal.
It's £8.99 per month to subscribe and if you've not had Prime before you can get a free 30-day trial. Find out more here.
