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.

Ninja air fryers are super popular @Advent0range We really rate these:

Ninja 7.6L Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer and Dehydrator AF300UK (7.6L, enough for 6 portions) - now £119, was £149

Slightly larger capacity Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer, 2 drawers, 9.5L - now £159 (lowest price ever on Amazon according to camelcamelcamel). This is a Mumsnet Best buy!

More budget-friendly: Lakeland Dual Basket Air Fryer, 8L, now £65 (was £100)

11-litre capacity: Tower T17076 Xpress Pro Combo 10-in-1 Digital Air Fryer, now £56, was £140 (61% off!)

You can read more about some of these on our best air fryers round-up, but you won't go wrong with one of these options. Hope this helps!

Just a word of warning for anyone who buys a shed/summerhouse from a company and the manufacturer is Shires. They have the worst customer services O have ever dealt with. Even the poor delivery driver that bought my parents summerhouse and works for them couldn't get hold of them as they don't even answer his calls!
A summerhouse that was delivered 10 weeks after the confirmed delivery date, £500 too much taken and no windows when it did arrive.

Hi @Oxo01

We recommended the Russell Hobbs RHCC5001 Refresh and Clean Carpet Washer on our best carpet cleaners page. It's currently on sale for £74 (was £99!)

The BISSELL SpotClean Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner is also rated highly. Not technically a Black Friday deal but looks to be cheaper on Amazon than elsewhere at the moment (£115)

This is a Mumsnet Best buy: Vax Smartwash Pet-Design Carpet Cleaner. It's heavier than the Russell Hobbs, but so good that it's worth a mention - and almost half price for Black Friday!

Hope this helps!

If you plan to shop on Amazon, their main Black Friday sale actually went live today and will be running till Cyber Monday, so I suspect prices will remain the same (or pretty similar at least) throughout the event.

The Revlon Hairdryer from Argos is out of stock everywhere in the south west apparently, don't know about elsewhere.

Hi @thrifty24 Here are a few standout food processors on sale at the moment:

Ninja Food Processor with Auto-IQ BN650UK - now £74 (was £100). Cheaper on Amazon than Ninja's own Black Friday sale.

Ninja BN800UK Food Processor & Blender with Auto IQ - slightly different model. Now £149 in John Lewis sale

KitchenAid 2.1L Food Processor Empire Red 5KFP0921BER, now £176 (was £220) at Lakeland

Kenwood MultiPro Express Weigh Food Processor, now £149 (was £215)

Hope this is helpful!

Anyone got discount codes for Hot Diamond jewellery please?

I second this . Terrible company. Terrible products. No aftermarket help. Missing panels, poor quality, poor fittings. Certainly not recommended to anyone.

Lakeland also have about a third of accessories for KitchenAid stand mixer.

👋hello everyone! My colleague's passed the baton on to me for the evening ahead...

If there's anything specific you're on the lookout for, do let me know and I'll take a look at what I can find for you. In the meantime, I'll be sharing posts with some of the best deals so far from different retailers.

Please feel free to also share a bargain if you find one for others on the thread 🙏

Ps - on a personal level, does anyone have one of those projectors that you can use to watch your telly on your ceiling while in bed? If so, would you recommend it?

Yeah, you're right. It's OOS on Argos in most places, even up north (I'm based in Leeds).

THE GOOD NEWS is... It's available on Boots still with the same 50% discount applied! 😁So it was £50, now just £25!

👀looks like they're offering 30% off with the code BF30 at checkout!

NOT sad at all - you're not alone. Dishwasher tablets are regularly one of the top selling things on Mumsnet for Black Friday 😂myself is included in this. Bargain!

Hmm sadly no huge savings that I can find to be honest @outnumbered77 - Amazon has £20 off the Playstation 5, so it's now £460 instead of £480. Not exactly bank account saving amounts, though.

However with that said - if you think you could survive disc free play - the digital Playstation 5 is much less and is now £370 compared to it's usual £390.

Again not a huge saving but if you don't mind being disc-less, the digital version is worth a look at IMO.

It's also worth mentioning that Very have a trade-in offer where you could potentially get up to £210 to contribute towards a new PS5. Worth a look if you can be bothered with the faff? 😆

30% off everything at Sweaty Betty!

I've personally had my eye on Edurino figures for my two DC and very happy to see that they're discounted over on Amazon at the mo 🙋

Edurino Mika Starter Set - Phonic Skills, Recognising & Writing Letters Correctly, Identifying Letter Sounds for Kids 4+, was £45, now £34

Edurino Play & Learn Bundle - Phonic Skills, Numbers & Shapes, Early Coding, Creativity, Body Parts - Fun Educational Toy for Kids 4+, was £170, now £127

Edurino Robin - Numbers & Shapes Games, Early Math Skills, Counting, Addition - Educational Toy for Kids 4+ (you'll need to buy a pen separately for this one, though), was £25, now £20

Oooh great spot! Thanks for sharing it.

I’m after a steam mop if anyone finds one!

Hi, Does anybody know where it would be possible to buy computer components in the sales?

I'd like to build a new pc for my Dad.

Thanks!

I’m looking for a PS5 slim digital console

I would urge anyone looking at Ring to consider Eufy instead. No subscription fees, does the same.

I’m after a heated blanket if there are any good deals

Very have them reduced.
Sorry, I'm not sure how to link

I’ve had my eye on the Stihl GTA 26 all year but thought I’d wait till the Black Friday sales.

I’m not seeing any great deals - has anyone seen one?

Me and my overgrown garden thank you in advance 😀

I have the Urevo treadmill and it's very good. Also on offer at 149:
