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.

This is at Asda, not sure if it's a bargain or not, just seen it was £10 off!

brandalley have emma mattresses cheaper than the emma black friday sale, plus an extra 20% with code JOINTHECLUB20 today. The site did keep annoyingly crashing though and some mattresses already sold out.

DS1 (29) wants a tablet to read manga on. Under £80 is my budget. Thanks.

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.

Second poster here looking for a laptop for homework for a DC! What sort of spec should I be looking for? Budget up to £300.

You're in the right place as I happen to be MNHQ's resident kitchen gadget expert!🤓
