Is it already Black Friday? Technically, it isn't, as the official date is November 27. However, that hasn't stopped retailers from launching sales early. That means there are a lot of deals out there already, but how many are actually worth buying right now? That's what I'm here to help with, by sharing the top deal recommendations from myself and the team of experts at TechRadar.
Big names such as Argos, Currys, AO, Dyson, EE, and Shark/Ninja have all kicked off sales now, while the likes of Amazon are teasing a few offers before the start of its full sale. I've looked through all of these and more to pick out several standout deals on TVs, appliances, games consoles, headphones, laptops, phones, smartwatches, and more.
You can use the quick list below to browse the sales for yourself, or head further down for my top picks from all the deals currently available. I've chosen these based on price history and our own testing here at TechRadar, so you can feel confident that these are some of the best tech products at genuinely good prices. Plus, I've chucked in a few bargain gift ideas if you're looking for some inspiration.
If you're still a little unsure about buying this early, then there isn't much harm in waiting if you'd prefer. However, it's worth knowing that many stores are offering a 'Price Guarantee' on select products throughout the sales. That can either mean certain items won't be cheaper in the next month, or you can claim a refund for the difference if an eligible item does drop further after you bought it.
Keep that in mind if buying now will help spread out your shopping during this busy sales period, or if you don't have the patience to wait on a must-have deal.
