BLACK Friday is still one week away – but there are plenty of early deals available right now.
High street brands have started their Black Friday sales earlier than ever before – in fact, Amazon launched deals a month before the big day.
9
Some retail experts have been calling it “Black November” due to the number of early sales.
Black Friday doesn’t officially fall until next week, November 27, but we’ve rounded up some deals you’ll find now.
Our top picks include £150 off a Shark hoover and £40 off a Nintendo Switch.
Before you part ways with any cash, we’d always recommend comparing prices online to make sure you’ve found the best deal.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Here are our top eight early Black Friday deals:

The cheapest price elsewhere is £279.99 from Argos (with free click and collect) or direct from Nintendo (including free delivery).
