Air fryers, heated throws and the world’s best jeans: ****** Friday deals on the products we love | ****** Friday

Black Friday is still a few days away on 29 November, but stores are already dropping prices to compete for our attention and cash – and they’re offering some delectable discounts on products we’ve recommended in the Filter.

The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more.

We cautioned against getting carried away too early in our guide to not getting ripped off in the sales, because many prices continue to fall until Cyber Monday (2 December). However, some of the most popular items can sell out even before ****** Friday comes around. So, if there’s something here you’ve had your eye on, this may be your best chance to grab it for significantly less than you’d normally pay.

Keep an eye on this page over the coming days, because we’ll update it with any genuine ****** Friday bargains on our favourite products of the year, from Ninja air fryers and GHD hair tools to

How we selected these deals (and excluded others)

We’ve looked at more than 300 different products, ranging from £2 fabric plasters to the £1,700

Pixel 9 Pro Fold, at the Filter. Many are discounted already, but only a select few deals are genuine enough for us to endorse here.

A “genuine” ****** Friday deal is a discount that undercuts the item’s long-term average price by a notable amount, rather than undoing a cheeky October price hike. Ideally, it will be the lowest price of the year. We use various tools to find this out, including the brilliant browser extension

item.

Our recommendations here have the best discounts of all the products we checked (and we checked enough to make Santa sweat). Some categories, such as heated clothes airers and women’s coats, haven’t seen much ****** Friday action yet, possibly because they’re good winter sellers anyway, whereas some of the deals below got off the starting blocks days ago.

The essential air fryer

Ninja AF100UK, £68.89 (was £79)

The experts who helped us compile our university essentials guide in September – that is, students themselves – told us an air fryer is a gamechanger for today’s house-sharers because it makes light, healthy and cheap work of preparing dinner. The supremely efficient Ninja cost as much as £149 last February, so at just under £70, it’s a brilliant buy for the undergrad in your life.

Premium stand mixer

Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker, £299.99 (was £399)

Home bakers who love hi-tech appliances and bake in large quantities would love Kenwood’s premium stand mixer, according to our writer Dale Berning Sawa in her roundup of the best stand mixers. But with a usual price tag of between £399 and £469, it’s not cheap. This sub-£300 price is now the best you’ll find online and is about 25% off the average price.

Food Thermos

_argos.co.***

Stop forking out for lunch takeouts and treat yourself or your kids to hot food every lunchtime with this fantastic Thermos, which keeps last night’s leftovers steaming hot throughout the next day. It was the Filter editor Hannah Booth’s choice for everyday products that save you money and make life easier, and it’s a design classic to boot. At less than £15, it’s now almost a tenner off, and cheaper than many lunches.

Luxurious heated throw

Dreamland Hurry Home heated throw, £74.99 (was £94.99)

The recent frosty snap made us wish we’d invested in heated throws a little sooner because they keep you warm and are cheaper to run than central heating. Still, better late than never, and here’s a great deal: Dreamland’s magnificent heated throw, which featured in everyday products that save you money and make life easier, is now £20 off. It has been discounted before, but its average price is £89 – so this deal is worth snapping up before the temperature plunges again.

Another one from our university essential guide, this steamer is useful for pretty much anyone who wears clothes. It smoothes out fabric without the need for ironing and freshens up your clothes if you haven’t the time or the inclination to give them a full wash. This is the steamer’s lowest price ever on

The Dream Sock may look and sound gimmicky, but it was hailed as a must-have by parents in our guide to the baby gear parents wouldn’t go without. The medically certified sock wraps comfortably around your baby’s foot and gives you real-time data on their oxygen levels and pulse. It’s not cheap, but at £199 it’s now as affordable as it’s ever been.

_{johnlewis.com}

Many video doorbells require a paid subscription, but this Eufy model doesn’t, instead storing videos on the device itself. It’s one of the more expensive video doorbells you can buy, admits tech journalist Andy Shaw in our guide to the best video doorbells, but it packs in extra features such as dual cameras (one for the face, one for the parcels on your doorstep). This is its lowest ever price.

It’s also available from the Apple Store, but at the time of writing, it’s still £119 there. This is the lowest price on

’s superb flagship is our pick for “best camera alternative” in best Android phones. This outstanding device normally costs a whisper under £1,000 and, despite this new £100 discount, it’s still one of the most expensive smartphones you can buy. But it’s also one of the best, and this price drop may be your best chance to make a saving on it.

If you thought the Pixel Pro was pricey, avert your eyes from this absolute ****** of a device that doubles as a phone and tablet in one. In best Android phones, we praised its large screen, 256GB storage and nimble performance and if you’re into AI tools, you’ll find them all here. Its usual price tag of £1,749 is hair-raising, and with £300 off it’s merely eyebrow-raising.

Mercifully we now head to the other end of the price spectrum with an Android for just over £100. Motorola’s Moto G34 featured in our roundup of the best smartphones for kids, where we liked its big battery, large screen and 5G connectivity. Importantly, it also gets security updates until 2027. The Moto G34 is normally superb value at about £150, so this price drop makes it a brilliant buy as well as a fab Christmas present.

Power banks are everyday necessities in the 2020s, so we couldn’t leave them out of our university essentials and autumn hiking roundups. Anker’s models are particularly powerful and reliable, with the 10,000mAh Nano adding a handy display that shows how much charge is left. The Powercore’s ultra-high 20,000mAh capacity lets you use power-hungry maps, GPS and video while you’re up a mountain all day. Both power banks have just fallen to their lowest price ever.

The high street’s best jeans

Levi’s 501 Original jeans, £50 (was £100)
_levi.com

“The most brilliant jeans in the world,” said our fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley of the legendary Levi’s 501s, which rode high in our list of 50 autumn wardrobe updates under £100. This fantastic deal sees the jeans that launched a thousand (well, a few) classic 80s and 90s adverts tumble to half price. You heard it through the grapevine (well, here).

Dune block heels

Dune ankle strap court shoes, £36-£63 (was £90)
_{dunelondon.com}

Another one from 50 autumn wardrobe updates under £100, these fabulous and comfortable Dune shoes have dropped from £90 to various bargain prices depending on the colour you choose. The cheapest is the two-tone metallic edition, at £36, while the gorgeous burgundy is more expensive at £63 – still nearly a third off their usual price.

With snow covering the country in November this year, these seriously protective Merrell boots are suddenly an essential – and we wouldn’t be surprised to see them sell out before ****** Friday. Our fashion team’s guide to the best women’s footwear for autumn praised their toasty warmth, great traction and waterproof membrane, and said they’re light enough to wear all day. Prices are as low as £111.30 for the lovely tobacco colour edition.

Men’s hiking boots

Danner Crater Rim, £258 (was £430)

It’s not often we see the very best deal offered by a brand’s own store, but Danner is an exception. The tough, heavy and incredibly durable Crater Rim boots wowed our walking boot tester Paddy Madison, but they’re normally wildly expensive at £430. This drop to £258 makes them relatively affordable. Given how many years these boots will last you, this is a genuinely good buy for keen walkers.

The Keen Arroyo shoes snuck into best men’s walking boots, despite looking more like sandals, because they offer good sole protection, support and traction on rough terrain. Their description of “waterproof” made our writer chuckle, though. The shoes still cost £110 at Keen at the time of writing, but

A soft but strong and durable cabin bag is the perfect travel companion, squishing into the carry-on allowance without damaging your stuff or bursting the bag’s stitches. Writer Liz Boulter chose this great-looking Eastpak bag for our roundup of 18 everyday essentials, and she said it’s still going strong after a decade of use. Well worth buying at its offer price, which is significantly lower than its average price of £110.

Curling tongs

ghd Curve Soft curl tong, £119 (was £159)
_ghdhair.com

The 32mm ghd Curve Soft curl tong is a classic hair tool that – according to the stylists we interviewed about their favourite at-home hair styling tools – creates an effortless, undone look that’s not too big and bouncy. These tongs also have safety features that mean you won’t ***** your carpet, or indeed your house down.

Jumbo waver

Beauty Works Jump waver, £45.49 (was £70)
_{beautyworksonline.com}

If you’re after big, bouncy beach waves, this triple-barrel wave tong is your answer. Another pick from our at-home hair styling tools, the Jump waver sees more than a third wiped off its price by Beauty Works’ own store.

Exfoliating body stick

The Inkey List glycolic body stick, £11.25 (was £15)
_{theinkeylist.com}

Glycolic acid is a wonder ingredient that helps to unclog pores, prevent ingrown hairs, soothe rough patches and even clear up body spots. One of our 14 best beauty buys to restore hair, skin and nails, this brilliantly easy stick was already a good price, but it now drops 30% in the Inkey List’s early ****** Friday *****.

Chanel body fragrance

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle body mist, £36.80 (was £46)
_{johnlewis.com}

In her roundup of everything she’s learned as a beauty columnist, our writer and self-confessed scent fiend Anita Bhagwandas shares an excellent tip for saving money on Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume, which costs £122 for 100ml. Get the body mist instead because it’s normally a much better buy than the perfume at £46 for 100ml. And now John Lewis’s ****** Friday ***** pushes it down to just £36.80, an excellent deal for a premium scent.

Clarins Sun Care is reliably terrific across the range, and in our list of 11 best sunscreens for every need, our writer Sali Hughes praised this solid SPF stick for its smooth, invisible application. It also smells great and doesn’t sting your eyes. It’s not fallen to below £21.50 since May 2021, so this deal is a genuinely good chance to stock up on a high-protection invisible block that’s needed on sunny winter days every bit as much as in the summer.
