With autumn here, that means Black Friday is almost upon us, too. This year, the discount extravaganza starts on Friday 24 November and runs right through to Cyber Monday on 27 November.
A massive event, most major retailers take part and offer price cuts across all sections, from TVs and laptops to home appliances, beauty, fashion, mattresses and much more. In previous years, we’ve seen notable savings from Argos, Boots, John Lewis, and Very, with big-name brands such as Dyson, ghd, Ninja, and Shark(which has just launched a month-long sale) all serving up serious reductions.
As we all know, Amazon is the ultimate place to go for everything you need – particularly during sale events such as Prime Day and Black Friday. Whether you want a new Kindle, Echo dot or a Fire stick, we anticipate deals on Amazon devices as well as skincare savings, tech reductions and other site-wide bargains, the online giant has just announced the dates for its Black Friday sale 2023.
The countdown is officially on, and while there’s still time to get organised with drawing up a wish list, we’ve put together everything you need to know about Amazon Black Friday 2023 deals – including confirmed dates and deals. Keep reading for the best savings we spotted last year, as well as some early sale offers.

What were the best Amazon Black Friday deals from last year?
Last year, we saw a massive selection of savings at Amazon. When it came to Amazon devices, there was a £50 discount on an Amazon Echo studio (£219, Amazon.co.uk), nearly £35 off a Kindle paperwhite (£149.99, Amazon.co.uk) and a £68 saving to bag on an Amazon Fire HD 8 kids tablet (£149.99, Amazon.co.uk).

What deals can we expect from the Amazon Black Friday sale in 2023?
We’re expecting Amazon discounts across the entire site for Black Friday 2023. According to the retailer, the 2023 sale will include Amazon’s lowest prices of the year on a range of top brands, including Ninja, Braun, ghd and Amazon’s own devices (think up to 57 per cent on the Echo pop, Echo Show 5, Fire TV sticks, Fire TVs and Kindles).
Plus, Amazon has confirmed there will be up to 30 per cent off both small and large appliances from the likes of Samsung, Bosch, Hoover and more, while we’ll be able to enjoy up to 25 per cent off Tefal, SodaStream and more. Beauty is always a highlight, and this year’s sale is set to see up to 60 per cent off fragrances and up to 55 per cent off skincare (from CeraVe to Olay).
Using last year’s savings to give us a steer, we’re also hoping to find sizeable discounts on household brands such as Dettol, Fairy and Flash, and up to a third off beauty buys.
