Black Friday early bird thread: roll up for HUGE savings, as they happen

[PollyMumsnet]

Hello bargain lovers,

Black Friday is just over a week away (its official date is the 29th November) and most retailers have already started slashing prices. Today Amazon have launched their Black Friday sale and the deals are coming in thick and fast.

We thought we’d set up this thread so we can share the best savings our expert deal hunters find - and we’d love for you to share your biggest discounts and best buys here too.

Whether you’re ticking off your Christmas list, shopping for home essentials or looking to treat yourself, we’ve got you covered.

MNHQ get early access to Black Friday deals from a whole heap of retailers, and we’ve been busy cross-referencing the best deals with products Mumsnetters recommend most highly - from air fryers to LEGO, and heated throws to vacuum cleaners - so we can bring you the genuinely valuable savings (and leave out the rest). We’ll be updating this thread all week with the latest deals as they happen.

We’re also comparing prices on camelcamelcamel where possible, to ensure the offers are authentic and as good as they seem.

We know not everyone loves Black Friday, but if you’re looking to snap up a bargain during the biggest sale event of the year, you’re in the right place.
If there’s something specific you’re shopping for, post your requests here and our dedicated team of bargain-hunters will be on the case.

Thank you Polly 🙏🏽 I can’t believe Black Friday is now a week 😅 but better than Jan sales I guess!

We got a flurry of snow this morning ☃ it's made us feel rather festive, and what could be more festive than Christmas presents under a tenner? Here are the best I've spotted so far:

The much-loved Sienna Blanket Hoodie is a snip at just £10

Boots Hot Water Bottle with Faux Fur Cover, was £14, now £7

LYNX Africa Duo Set, just £4!

A Little Something Mini Face Palette, was £7 now a steal at £3.50

Peacocks have 25% off winter warmers, with kids' PJs from just £6.75 in navy check and heart print

You can get 4 Hot Chocolate Spoons with Marshmallows for £10 - these make excellent stocking fillers or Christmas Eve box treats

This Edinburgh Gin Flavoured Gin Liqueur Gift Pack 3 x 5cl has 37% off at Amazon, making it less than £8

Any deals on the light weight hoovers?

💯

It's just a regular sale....Amazon have these discounts on and off all year

That heated throw was cheaper 6 weeks ago!

Yes! There are some humungous discounts on hoovers right now - you can find more on our dedicated Black Friday vacuum cleaner deals page - here's my pick of the lightweight variety:

There's a whopping 77% off the Beko Cordless Smart PowerClean™ Pro Vacuum Cleaner - was £430, now just £100 (that's the lowest price ever for this model)

The Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is less than half price at £150 (was £320)

Dyson V15 Detect Absolute Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - I have this one and it's so good, was £650, now £500 at Argos

Thats as maybe but this is covering all black friday sales not just Amazon

Can you please help me find a foldable walking pad 🙏

Hope that's all helpful!

Looking for deals on garden sheds. Wooden, 8x6 with double doors. Thank you!

My Lakeland heated poncho died yesterday, and today it snowed. I cruised the sale looking for a replacement but there were none. It says it's a discontinued item. I found a seller on eBay had them for £59.99 which is less than half price. So that's the place to go if you want a poncho for WFH. They have replaced it with the snuggler, which has atrocious reviews.

I'm looking for a good food processor, ideally on the small side

Ooh - an air fryer big enough for a family of four is what I am looking for!

Any PS5 deals to be had?

Any reccomedations for a smallish, light weight but effective carpet cleaner please.

North Face has 30% off if you’re signed up to their pass thingy and spend over £200.

Hi @Imtoooldforallthis thanks for posting
The best deals at the moment seem to be on the bundle options, some of them are the same price if not cheaper than the standalone consoles. Here are a few I've found so far:

Nintendo Switch bundle deals:

• Nintendo Switch Sports Bundle (includes console, Switch Sports and 12 months Switch Online subscription) £249 at Amazon (same price as the console as a standalone so a pretty good deal!)
• Nintendo Switch Lite Coral Bundle (includes Animal Crossing New Horizons and 12 months Switch Online subscription) £190 at Amazon
• Nintendo Switch Neon Console Bundle (includes Switch Sports and Mario Kart 8 and 12 months Switch Online subscription) £269 at Very
• Nintendo Switch OLED Super Mario Bros Wonder Bundle £290 at Argos
• Nintendo Switch Neon 1.1 Console Bundle (includes Animal Crossing New Horizon, Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 deluxe) £359 at Very

Prices for the different standalone consoles:

• Nintendo Switch OLED is currently £280 at Amazon (not in a deal as far as I can see, but only £10 more expensive than its lowest ever price according to CamelCamelCamel)
• OLED also £280 at John Lewis (marked down from £299) and Argos
• The regular Switch Console is £250 at Amazon and same price at Argos
• Nintendo Switch Lite is priced between £173 and £182 at Amazon and £190 at Argos and John Lewis

Hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for the thread. I have my eye on the Ring doorbell and can see it is reduced at the moment on an early black Friday sale. Is it likely to reduce any further on Black Friday?

Hi! Might not be any deals until it’s actually Black Friday - but I’m looking for deals on Yoto cards please!

I am keeping an eye on this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Dehydrate-Non-Stick-Dishwasher-EY905B40/dp/B0CX5NSVZ6/ref=sxin_12_recs_zoco_stores_brand_identity_bs?content-id=amzn1.sym.ecc1ecf8-8d1c-4bbd-b655-da936e24b538%3Aamzn1.sym.ecc1ecf8-8d1c-4bbd-b655-da936e24b538&crid=C1BSWWILVLL8&cv_ct_cx=tefal%2Bair%2Bfryer&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uhBqB5HEC_zAxHSLrPgQ-6dojKtfkJQl5NWwAOIIm-x4vR4ifFUb062nTohhG4qpsRX97y164Gx8BdjjOHp3Ewe_6OE1tH88y8L9l9f1XV-3-BEjJ6xJ1qMKoHwdm3Ja.F1HLsSH9aUrVf5nlCf8vFs-_mkXNnC3WfmsrqHOKLLA&dib_tag=se&keywords=tefal%2Bair%2Bfryer&nsdOptOutParam=true&pd_rd_i=B0CX5NSVZ6&pd_rd_r=bc692b0c-d31b-41c2-b729-07a2fa2fe370&pd_rd_w=MiWdZ&pd_rd_wg=8GJ0F&pf_rd_p=ecc1ecf8-8d1c-4bbd-b655-da936e24b538&pf_rd_r=XQX1B9WH1C51QFZKS5B0&qid=1732202642&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=tefal%2Bair%2Bfryer%2Caps%2C98&sr=1-1-0723f66e-ff99-43ba-a202-1be1089a8603&ufe=INHOUSE_INSTALLMENTS%3AUK_IHI_5M_VF&th=1

It's often cheaper in sales - I've seen it as low as about £110.

I'm so sad. Only thing I've bought in Black Friday and it's bloody dishwasher tablets!!!! 😂

Popped into Dreams this morning and they have Black Friday deals on mattresses
