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

57 replies

PollyMumsnet · 21/11/2024 08:14

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.

💸 Todays’ top Black Friday deals on Mumsnetter-approved products:

Happy shopping,
MNHQ 💐

Hi @RumNotRun

I can vouch for this one from Breville (not a Black Friday deal but a decent price at £29). Easy to use, fairly compact, keeps coffee warm for a while (although sometimes not long enough IMO!).

The De'Longhi Filter Coffee Machine is half-price at Argos (now £25) and gets good reviews.

This one from Cuisinart looks nice (available in black and white) - now £33

Mumsnetters rate the Melitta brand for good brews. This one's quite pricey at £185 but there's £29 off. And it features a coffee bean grinder and different strength settings.

I'm going to be after a new TV.
43" ideally.

Ours is making everything look strangely blue 🥶

Good morning @MiseryIn - depending on your budget, there are a few discounted in the sales already on Amazon:

Toshiba 43”UV2363DB 4K Smart VIDAA TV, was £237, now £199

PHILIPS 43PUS7009 4K LED Smart TV, was £249, now £209

Samsung 43, was £599, now £377

Although with that said, it looks like there are bigger discounts available from Currys at the moment, including these:

SAMSUNG DU7100 43 inch Crystal UHD 4K HDR Smart TV, was £379, now £259 (save £120)

HISENSE A6N 43 inch LED 4K HDR Smart Freely TV, was £429, now £229 (save £200!!) - this also has Amazon Alexa already installed if you use it?

LG 43LQ60006LA 43 was £250, now £199 (save £51)

HTH 💐

Thisiswhathings · 22/11/2024 06:23

Looking for a mobile phone around £200

For a new phone around that price you're looking at an Android device @Thisiswhathings (which personally, is my favourite type...)

Argos have some offers? They do same day collection and/or delivery depending on what time you order which is handy!

The first two have the biggest storage size (albeit not huge savings on these ones)

SIM Free HONOR 200 Lite 5G 256GB AI Mobile Phone, was £200, now £180

SIM Free HONOR Magic 6 Lite 5G 256GB Phone, was £220, now £200

But if you love Samsung, these are worth a look and have bigger discounts:

SIM Free Samsung A25 5G 128GB Mobile Phone, was £250, now £180 (£70

SIM Free Samsung A16 5G 128GB Mobile Phone, Phone, was £200, now £170

All are sim free so you can use whatever network provider you like.

Looking for mens air force 1s (original style) if anyone has seen any discounts, thanks

I'll be honest I'm not exactly sure which ones are the "original" style but I've managed to find these deals for you? Hopefully one matches what you're looking for @Acunningruse

Nike Air Force 1 JD Jewel, was £120, now £90

NIKE Men's Air Force 1 '07 Basketball Shoe, these are various prices depending on the size. What size are you looking for in particular? Not huge savings on them, to be honest over on Amazon.

Finally, spotted these: Nike Air Force 1 Trainers White, was £110, now £85

Will continue looking for you!

I did have one of those projectors that you can use to watch films in bed - never got past 10 mins into the film before falling asleep!
Still, it was a nice idea, but the sound of the fan was often louder than the film. Needed a separate speaker or headphones.

Thank you, this is good to know. If anything gives me more of a reason to look at an actual TV instead 😅

Hi! Can you please help me find a budget friendly heated airer?

Hey @Sarara89 I've pulled in a colleague to help me with your request as she's our heated airer pro at MNHQ!

She says: "re budget heated airers, I've seen ok MN reviews for the Dunelm and Argos own-brand ones, which are both discounted" 😄

Hello @Funinthesun01! This is what I've found for you...

Chanel No 5, you're in luck. John Lewis has the biggest saving on the 100ml bottle, down from £145 to just £116. Although, if 100ml is too big - Boots have the 35ml reduced from £75 to £60.

Paco Rabanne's One Million is reduced at Argos (who have same day collection or delivery depending on your location) - down from £81 to £65 for 100ml!

And finally for your Macbook case... Thule's cases regularly crop up on our Talk boards but sadly they're not in any sales that I can see just yet! Currys have this one for example.

Dos anyone have a link for a decent silk pillowcase?

Now, I'm hesitant to share one with you from Amazon because our team have discovered recently that they're not always fully silk like they claim to be... So personally, I reckon spend a bit more on a quality one, like this one:

John Lewis Organic Mulberry Silk Standard Pillowcase, was £45, now £31.50 - various colours available

Robot vacuums any deals out there?
TVM

Oooh robovacs are our speciality! I personally own the eufy 15c but it doesn't look like they're selling that anymore. There's a deal on the newer eufy L60 Robot Vacuum Cleaner - was £250, now £160 that has mapping tech which I definitely recommend getting.

I'm looking for a high pressure steam cleaner with a capacity of 1.5L or over

Hey @whatifshejust - I'm struggling to find great deals on steam cleaners with that capacity (it may be worth holding out until Black Friday next week incase more deals drop).

However, you can currently get £130 off the Kärcher SC 5 EasyFix Steam Cleaner. It was £430, and is now reduced to £300.

It's a smaller capacity (1L) than what you're after, but I also wanted to mention the Kärcher SC 3 EasyFix Steam Cleaner. It currently has 35% off the RRP and is down from £200 to £130.

Any other bargains in heated throws?

The Mia and Coco one on Amazon is only £36 pounds in the smallest size and in grey (yeuch, depressing in winter). Bigger ones in other colours are more expensive.

Hey @Chersfrozenface - heated throws are very popular atm, not surprised with this weather! ☃

As you've mentioned, the smaller Mia & Coco is on offer for £36 (larger sizes go up to £60), but here are the other deals we've found:

🔥 31% off Dreamland Hygge Days Electric Throw Blanket. RRP £130, now £90 (It's expensive, but this has been tried and tested by MNHQ editors and was awarded our best heated throw title)

🔥50% off Lakeland Faux Fur Heated Throw. Was £120, now £60

🔥20% off Schallen Heated Throw. Was £40, now £32

After a toastie maker after ours mysteriously jumped out of the cupboard broke its hinge and hobbled back in 🙄 preferably with removable plates and a floating hinge so DH can toast the absurdly thick bread he cuts

Thermomix TM6? Or a really good and cheap dupe I am looking for!

Hi @Psychoticbreak - sadly there's not been a huge amount knocked off the Thermomix TM6, it currently has just 8% off the RRP at the moment (was £1,685, now £1,550 - saving £135).

I'm struggling to find a dupe that has quite so many functions as the original too - is there any particular functions that are a priority so I can find a good multi-cooker or food processor alternative? 😊

We've been using CineMood for over 8 years now, brilliant at home and on holidays, very compact and good sound. I am not sure they still exist though, but if you find them, definitely worth investing in it - when kids were little I used it for the fairytales, before introducing to cartoons, and even now they still like it playing on the background sometimes.

On the request side, any idea if now is a good time for a trampoline? Our 10 feet died this summer after a long and busy life, looking for a new one. Thank you!

Hey @ZZoya303 - I think now is a great time to invest in a new trampoline for the savings, even if you don't get use out of it for a while with this weather! ❄

Here are the top deals I've found:

15% off Plum Space Zone II Springsafe Trampoline. Was £340, now £290 (this was voted our best trampoline overall!)

£150 off Plum Magnitude Springsafe 14ft Trampoline with 3G Enclosure. Was £500, now £350

£300 off (save 50%!) Plum 14ft Wave Springsafe Trampoline & Enclosure with Mist. Was £600, now £300

Any good deals on warm winter coats? Thinking of a parka style - Patagonia, north face etc.

Hi @Plum02 - North Face has 30% off orders over £200, but you need to sign up for their XPLR Pass (which is free).

That takes the MNer-recommended Reign On Parka down from £205 to £144, and the Arctic Parka from £395 to £277

Patagonia on the other hand, have taken a stand against Black Friday, as part of their campaign against overconsumption.

Another brand worth a look is Didriksons, their Erika Parka has 25% off, it was £250, now £188

You can find more MNer-approved coats on our best winter coats round-up ☃
