Our deal hunters are here! Share what Black Friday bargains you're looking for

[RayaMumsnet]

Hello fellow bargain hunters!

Black Friday is just over a week away (its official date is the 28 November) and most retailers have already started slashing prices. Today Amazon has 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 buggies, and robot vacuum cleaners to this year’s most-pined for Christmas toys - so we can bring you the best deals (and leave out the rest). We’ll be updating this thread all week with the latest savings 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 pick 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.

Always happy to help finding guitars😀 I play slimline Fender Tele which I bought secondhand a few years ago. Have you looked at secondhand sites like reverb.com? There's a lovely looking Mexican Fender Strat on sale with £521. Or if your budget doesn't stretch to that, their sister brand Squier are decent guitars at a lower price. This Squier affinity series Tele is £236

Thank you. I didn't know Reverb. Really helpful.

We’d love a deal on any Meaco Arete Two

If anyone has any recommendations for Dyson air wrap alternatives for under £100, I would be very grateful. It’s my birthday in two weeks and I’m looking for an air wrap alternative as I can’t afford £600!

iPads come in about 47 slightly-different-but-somehow-the-same versions these days, so choosing one can feel like a full-time job. Amazon and John Lewis seem to be neck-and-neck on offers right now, so here’s a quick roundup of the best Wi-Fi–only deals.

Amazon £299 (9% off)
John Lewis also £299 (inc free delivery and £30 off M365)
Apple iPad Air 11‑inch (M3) Wi‑Fi: A step up.
Amazon £499 (17% off) Apple iPad Air 11-inch (128GB) unless I’m missing something, it looks like the same model is £560 at John Lewis, but they might price match it for you
Apple iPad Air 13‑inch (M3) Wi‑Fi: Larger screen version of the Air.
Amazon £699 (13% off RRP £799)
John Lewis also £699 ((inc free delivery and £30 off M365)

Hope that helps!

Sorting my hols/ breaks out for next year

Booked a Princess 7 night med cruise end April 26, balcony cabin for 2, £311 each. Seascanner. Need to pay tips which will be c£200. Still very cheap.

Also booked MSC Norwegian Fjords in May for £740 total cost for balcony cabin for 2 in tips. Just about to add Spa use and drinks - low, low prices - Cruise Nation.

(Join the reward programmes first, you may get more money off.)

Butlin's 80's weekend, £211 each in food 2x2 bed apartments. 4 of us are going to see Tony Hadley amongst others!

Have a further cruise/holiday to sort, but may well be a rail-based trip so unlikely to get black Friday deals...

Hi @Octaviathethird I can't see it for any cheaper than £69.99 either, sorry! Maybe it's worth putting a price drop alert on it in case it comes down in price nearer to Christmas?

Or, one slightly sneaky way to get a discount, set up a baby wishlist on Amazon today. In 14 days you'll be eligible for a 15% discount.

I'll keep an eye out though, and let you know if I see it cheaper anywhere else!

Hi @Cageauxfolles here are a few deals I've spotted

Oodie have a few weighted blankets in their Black Friday sale that may be worth taking a look at 4.5kg-9kg weights all £65 (39% off)
The Emma Sleep weighted blanket is £88 (was £104)
Or if you didn't want to spend as much as that, the budget pick on our best weighted blankets article is £16 on Amazon (33% off)

Hi @BillyNoProblems
Here are the best deals we've spotted on clothes steamers
Russel Hobbs Steam Genie £32 (was £60)
Phillips Steam and Go £25 (was £65)
Tefal Pure Pop £27 (was £50)

You can read our reviews on our round up of best clothes steamers.

Hope that helps!

'fellow mums of boys' ... It's 2025. Girls can play with anything boys can. This should be edited or removed and is upsetting to see from MNHQ .

I'd like to see if there're any of these too please 🙏

I can't see it on sale anywhere either @Soontobe60 if your heart is set on that particular model, by set up a price alert on camelcamelcamel?

A couple of alternatives to consider:

Ninja Detect Power Blender & Processor Pro £170 on the Ninja website (RRP is £230)
Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch £127 on Amazon (RRP is £156 and the lowest price it's been on Amazon)
Kenwood FDP65.860WH food processor £71 (RRP £150 also lowest price it's been on Amazon)

Thank you! 🙏

This is probably pathetic to admit - even on the internet - but I am a huge Meaco dehumidifier fan 😃I've lived in victorian terraces for the last 10 years and I can't tell you how much my Meaco dehumidifiers (yes we two now!) have improved our house.

Appliance Direct have a few Meaco deals live at the moment and it looks like you can get an extra £5 off Meaco dehumidifiers over £100 when you use the code DEHUM5M

Meaco Arete Two 12L £180 (save £100)
Meaco Arete One 12L £160 (save £100)

Hope that helps!

Hi @Shefliesonherownwings

Here are some Dyson airwrap dupes to consider:

BaByliss Big Hair Rotating Hair Dryer Brush £30 on Amazon (RRP £50) - this will always remind me of MN co-founder Carrie who kept one of these in her top draw at the office 😁)
Revlon One-Step £50 on Amazon (RRP £80)

@SoMentallyDrained see my post above

Also worth taking a look at the Bellissima Italia Prodigy Air Hair Styler it's a little pricier at £150 but @BeccyMumsnet tested last year and was really impressed, you can read her review here.

Right I'm clocking off for the evening, I'll be back tomorrow with more deals 🤓

Fantastic, thank you so! This is incredibly helpful

Stacking ninja air fryer please
it was £188 on Amazon pre Black Friday and now it’s on offer at £188 … 🙄
elsewhere it’s £199
dont care on colour. Thanks 🙏🏻

I’m looking for some open-ear or bone conduction earphones or an activity tracker ring (not Oura as £££ and needs subscription). Thank you.

Looking for a decent gaming pc, desktop not laptop budget around £600

Thank you and not at all pathetic!

I’m after a Sage The Paradice 16 food processor. It’s horrifically expensive and I’d love to find some discount on it!

Air fryer and pink shitting flamingo please? X
