Black Friday is the largegest sales event of the year. It falls on the fourth Friday of November (the day after Thanksgiving in the US), and is seen as the best time to snap up deals ahead of Christmas. Often, popular products, such as the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Meta Quest 3, are reduced to their lowest price ever, building it an ideal time to save on bestsellers.
Black Friday is a good time to snap up discounts on items that you’ve been planning to acquire for a while, but it pays to do your research. While there are plenty of bargains on offer, some deals are not as generous as they seem at first. The prices of electric toothbrushes, for example, fluctuate throughout the year, often swinging between full price and half price from week to week. A half-price toothbrush deal on Black Friday might be closer to its normal price than it appears.
I’d generally recommfinish checking the usual price of a product with online price-checking tools such as Camelcamelcamel (for Amazon products) or PriceRunner. I’d also suggest comparing prices across multiple retailers before jumping on the first Black Friday or Cyber Monday offer you see.
Here at IndyBest, we keep track of prices throughout the year, so we can spot a decent deal from a dud. Keep an eye on our Black Friday and Cyber Monday guides for top offers on tested-and-tested products. For more guidance on how to spot the best deals, see our Black Friday tips.

On top of knowing our way around a sale, we are experts in our fields. We’ve spent countless hours testing and reviewing everything from phones and laptops to beauty products, mattresses, air fryers and toys. We wouldn’t recommfinish a product just becautilize it’s cheap – instead, we feature deals on products we’ve tested and tested, or that come from brands we trust. That means we bring you genuine savings on products we consider you’ll love as much as we do.
