Few shopping events can compete with the magnitude of Black Friday – and now it’s one day away. It’s the annual bonanza that sees prices slashed across tech, beauty, home appliances, fashion, toys and more.

High street stalwart Argos has joined fellow early birds Amazon, Currys and Very in launching its deals ahead of the main event.

Follow live: The best early Black Friday deals to shop now

Much like last year, the retailer has dropped a huge range of deals spanning every category, from TVs to home appliances, beauty products, kids’ toys and a whole lot more. Big-name brands included in the sale range from Samsung to Nintendo, Lego and Garmin.

Argos is also offering a further 20 per cent off across toys and Tu clothing and accessories. And there’s an opportunity to get another 10 per cent off TVs too.

But with so many deals competing for your attention, it can be hard to know where to start. We’ve already spotted that the Amazon Fire TV stick is down to just £14.99 (Argos.co.uk), while Dyson’s cyclone V10 vacuum cleaner has a third off (was £449.99, now £299.99, Argos.co.uk). To make sure you don’t miss a single deal, we’ll be with you throughout the 2021 sale, to bring you expert shopping advice, the best offers and all the details you need to navigate the event.

When we rounded up the best tablets for kids, this model easily made the cut. “The tactile bumper cover survived many drops, scrapes and even being thrown down in toddler rages. The screen size is 7in, but that feels about right for little paws to grab on to and swipe around.” Wrote our reviewer. And as with all Amazon’s kids’ tablets, it comes with a year’s subscription to Amazon kids+, which has a mind-boggling amount of apps on it. With 50 per cent off it seems a good choice for Christmas 2021.

When we rounded up the best cordless vaccuums for our review, this one easily made the cut. “It’s easy to move along carpets and wooden floors, while the max setting has incredible suction,” praised our writer.

If there’s one thing you can say about us at IndyBest, it’s that we love an airfryer, especially when it’s as well-priced as this model. It may only have one cooking compartment, but this 4l fryer should still whip up enough crispy-yet-fluffy chips to feed four people. And like most of Tower’s devices, it can not only fry, but bake, grill and roast too, making light work of almost any kitchen conundrum. Though it didn’t quite make it into our review of the best airfryers, the Tower rose gold vortx model did, and we were certainly impressed with that.

This clever espresso machine promises to give you exceptional coffee every time. While we can’t attest if that is true for this model, the De’Longhi dinamica plus certainly impressed in our review of the best bean-to-cup coffee machines. Of course, it was on the pricier end of the spectrum, so we’re not expect this purse-friendly option to have all the same bells and whistles. However, it does still claim to be able to make all your coffee shop favourites and includes a milk steaming wand.

What is Black Friday?

The annual event was traditionally a one-day in-store shopping event to mark the start of the Christmas season after Thanksgiving in the US.

Amazon first brought the sale online to the UK in 2010, but it wasn’t until 2013 that the event gained traction, when Asda introduced the first in-store Black Friday sale in the UK and people flocked to their nearest branch to take advantage of the discounts. Despite reports of broken bones and stampedes, the success of Asda’s event led to many other shops introducing both in-store and online deals.

Each year, retailers have kicked off the sale earlier and earlier – in 2020, Amazon launched its early-bird Black Friday sale four weeks before the weekend and it’s expected to do the same this year.

What’s the history of Black Friday?

The first reports of Black Friday as a retail event date back to around the 1950s in the US, when shops discounted products to mark the beginning of the festive season. Later uses of the term in the 1960s saw the police referring to “Black Friday” when describing the chaotic traffic congestion the day after Thanksgiving.

The event gained international attention in the Noughties when TV coverage captured US shoppers raiding the shelves for discounted TVs, toys and tech during the sale.

When is Black Friday 2021?

The 2021 event falls on 26 November, and there will be deals dropping throughout the whole weekend, concluding on Cyber Monday on 29 November.

In 2020, the landscape of the sale changed, with shoppers encouraged to stay at home due to the coronavirus pandemic and instead shop the deals online. This meant most of the biggest discounts could be found online, and we predict the same will be true for 2021.

What is Cyber Monday?

The Monday following Black Friday has come to be known as Cyber Monday and is the last day of the sales. It’s named such because historically, online sales peaked on this day, at the start of the Christmas shopping period.

Now, the day is a sales event in its own right with retailers continuing to slash prices throughout the Monday. It’s also the last mass sale event before the Christmas period and January sales.

What’s the best way to get a Black Friday 2021 deal?

Throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the IndyBest team will be continually updating our guides with the most impressive discounts to snap up across tech, beauty, fashion, home appliances, toys and TVs, to name just a few.

We’ll also be handpicking deals from retailers including Currys, Amazon, Very and John Lewis & Partners, so make sure you keep checking back during the sale.

Argos has already begun dropping some Black Friday deals and other brands such as Dyson, The White Company and Gtech have also followed suit.

Unlike last year, deals are likely to be available in-store as well as online, so it’s worth keeping an eye on your local shops as well.

Tips for Black Friday shopping online

The best way to ensure you’re prepared is to set up accounts with all the big retailers including Amazon, John Lewis & Partners, Currys, Very and Next. Argos itself recommends doing this, as it makes shopping on the day easier and quicker, and you’ll be less likely to miss out on a deal. If you’re after next-day delivery, sign up for Amazon Prime or start a free 30-day trial in the lead-up to the bonanza.

You can also sign up for newsletters to receive all the latest updates from retailers, meaning you’ll be the first to know when the sales start and have access to any discount codes you might need. Download the apps of your favourite retailers and follow them on socials too, for early tip-offs.

We’d also recommend reading the retailer’s returns policy before buying, and the terms and conditions, if you’ve not shopped there before. And if you’re shopping online, it’s also good to ensure your anti-malware software is up to date. Read our review of the best solutions here.

Lastly, if you’re planning to buy furniture, make sure you measure up first. That means the space you’re buying for as well as the entrance, including doors and hallways.

Tips for shopping Argos Black Friday 2021 sale

IndyBest will be on hand throughout the sale to help you navigate the discounts and bring you the best hand-picked bargains from participating retailers.

As Argos is famed for its Black Friday sale – with 20 products ordered every second in the first hour of the 2020 event – we’ll be with you every step of the way.

We’d recommend signing up for an Argos account in the run-up to Black Friday as you’ll need a login to pay for your online order. You can also wishlist items with your account, meaning you’re just one click away on the big day. The Argos Black Friday page also offers tips for shopping the sale, which includes doing your research beforehand to ensure you’re getting the best deals, as well as creating a wishlist of items you hope to purchase ahead of time. Then, once the discounts kick off, everything you want will be in one place and ready for an easy checkout.

You might also want to sign up for Argos’s email list so you can access all the information about the retailer’s current deals and updates regarding Black Friday and Cyber Monday. IndyBest will also be providing regular updates.

What were the best Argos Cyber Monday deals last year?

Argos’s deals continued to impress throughout Cyber Monday, with prices slashed on Dyson, Beats, TVs, toys and more.

In 2020, there were £100 savings on the Dyson V8 absolute extra model (£593.10, Amazon.co.uk) and the Dyson V7 animal cordless vacuum cleaner (£249.99, Argos.co.uk) – savings only matched by Dyson itself.

A similar (yet pricier) model, the Dyson V10, earned a spot in our review of the best cordless vacuum cleaners, with our writer saying “it’s easy to move along carpets and wooden floors, while the max setting has incredible suction.” There was also an impressive £150 saving on the Shark anti hair wrap cordless vacuum cleaner (£179.99, Argos.co.uk).

If last year’s discounts are anything to go by, there’s no better time than Cyber Monday to bag a bargain on TVs. For example, there was an impressive £200 saving on this Samsung 65 inch smart curved 4K (£629, Argos.co.uk).

We also saw Argos’s lowest-ever price on the Beats by Dr Dre solo 3 headphones (£129.95, Argos.co.uk) on Cyber Monday, when they were reduced down to just £130. Beats’s solo pro headphones (£129, Amazon.co.uk) earned a spot in our round-up of the best wireless designs, with our reviewer saying they “sound great”.

In beauty, you could save £60 on the popular Babyliss cordless hair straighteners (£132.99, Argos.co.uk) as well as £30 on the brand’s super power pro hair dryer (£29.99, Argos.co.uk).
