Amazon's Black Friday start date revealed with deals on Oodie dupes, air fryers and more

With just under a week to go until Black Friday 2022, the deals are heating up and many retailers are revealing when shoppers can expect the biggest discounts to happen.

Amazon is the latest retailer to give away that secret and now have a dedicated section on their website which points consumers to their best Black Friday offers from now up until the end of the month. Black Friday takes place on November 25 this year but in recent weeks many retailers have begun to slowly release deals on their websites and in stores.

The retail giant began to release deals at the very start of the month but have now told their loyal shoppers to expect the best Black Friday discounts to start from this Friday, November 18, 2022. It means Amazon's Black Friday sales event will start one week earlier than the actual sales day itself.

The Black Friday section is split into recommended deals, lightning deals and then deals by product type from clothes, tech, devices, beauty, garden and outdoors, baby, home and kitchen and more.

Amazon's Lightning Deals are promotions in which a limited number of discounts are offered on an item for a short period. Amazon Prime members also get the best pick of these deals as well as being offered exclusive discounts as part of the Black Friday sale. If you're not an Amazon Prime member you can sign up for a free 30 day trial here, so you can receive these offers as well as enjoy other perks like free delivery and more.

As we approach Black Friday itself I have picked out the best and worst of the Black Friday deals so far on the Amazon page here. In the Lightning deals section there's a 21% discount on this Dido Air Fryer which is a 5.5 litre appliance and features a 60 minute timer and non-stick basket for healthy oil free and low fat cooking.

Elsewhere on the Lightning deals there's up to 48% off this Oodie dupe. Priced at £22.49 instead of £39.99, this Winthome Lengthen Oversized fleece hoodie comes in one size and is for men and women. It's also available in a wide variety of colours and is a lot cheaper than the Australian Oodie brand who's products start from £80 upwards.

There's lots of discounts on Amazon devices too but the bigger deals are likely to launch from November 18. Currently the Echo Dot device is priced at £21.99, down from £39.99 in Amazon's early Black Friday sale but for those who want more than one (perhaps as a gift to someone else as well as your own) or want to combine it with Hue bundles can get it for £29.98 with a code.

Buyers simply need to enter the code - 2ECHODOT3 - at checkout to get the deal price. Shoppers will need to hurry if they want to get the deal using the code though as the offer will run out on November 17 at 11.59pm.

If you're looking for a new smartwatch then there's a huge discount on this Samsung Galaxy Watch4, 51% off the original price, from £389 to £189. The black, classic smartwatch features a rotating bezel, health monitoring, a fitness tracker and is 4G compatible. Amazon also has 50% off these Samsung Galaxy Buds, £69 instead of £139.

You can keep up to date with all of the Amazon Black Friday deals as they happen here.
