You could reasonably think that today is Black Friday, what with the many Black Friday sales live already and the inevitable hoards of emails in your inbox telling you as much. But the biggest shopping day of the year is actually next Friday – the 24th November.
Black Friday deals seem to launch earlier and earlier each year, and that's definitely been the case this year as retailers fight for your hard-earned cash and Christmas present generosity before it's all used up. Often we see retailers run 'early' discounts and teasers of what's to come in the fortnight prior to the official day, but we are seeing retailers kickstarting their official deals already. Hell, some began in October. And even Amazon's Black Friday Week sale is, as of yesterday, up and running.
The deals may get better during the official weekend – who knows! – but looking at the quality of some of them in the consumer electronics space, there doesn't seem to be room for many more price plummets. It's a risky game – something you may buy now might be slightly less next week, but if you wait on something you want now it could go out of stock. Our advice? If you see something you're after at a good price (and have checked it's a good price!), then it's always going to be a good buy regardless of whether its price fluctuates a little.
We have spent the past fortnight digging through the tech deals to find the best prices on the best kit to help prevent you from buying a dud, and these are the very best 21 live right now, including cheap five-star TVs, heavily discounted hi-fi, and half-price headphones, not to mention knockdown prices on several newly crowned Award winners.
