When it comes to Black Friday, there is one undisputed king of the jungle (or should that be, rainforest?). Over the last Black Friday period, Amazon took a 26% share of the total retail industry in the UK. That means over a quarter of the UK’s Black Friday shopping in 2018 was done on the giant online marketplace. Amazon’s share was actually up 3% on the previous year, showing that their Black Friday sales are still growing. We don’t know if this trend will continue, but we are sure that Black Friday is a massive event for Amazon and that the company will be celebrating it in an equally massive way. In fact, Black Friday is an integral part of Amazon’s retail policy and their preparations for it take place year-round. Which means: massive savings and deals for you. When is Amazon’s Black Friday 2019 Date? This year, Black Friday falls on 29th November. Cyber Monday, the other big sales date during the Black Friday period, is on 2nd December. Since Amazon’s Black Friday sales often run across a couple of weeks, we expect them to start mid-November and stop early in December. Best Amazon Black Friday Deals 2019 Amazon Black Friday 2019 Amazon Devices Deals If you’re hoping to pick up an Amazon device like a smart speaker, tablet or smart TV stick, Black Friday is the time to strike. Amazon always celebrate by discounting their own devices and last year Amazon devices were three out of five of the site’s top-selling Black Friday products. The all-new Echo Dot (3rd Gen) was the company’s second top-selling product, with 10.6k purchases. Amazon slashed the price of their smart speaker in half, bringing it down from £49.99 to £24.99. Next followed the Fire TV Stick which was £15 off at £24.99 and the Echo (2nd Gen) (£54.99, was £89.99). Making it into Amazon’s top 10 best-selling products at number eight was the Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD with all-new Alexa Voice Remote, which was £15 off at £34.99. (In case you’re wondering, Amazon’s top-selling Black Friday product was the SanDisk Ultra 128GB Memory Card, with a huge 17.3k purchases and a price fall from £35.02 to £14.99.) Other Amazon devices you could grab at a discount included the Echo Spot (£89.99, was £119.99), Kindle Paperwhite (£89.99, was £119.99), Fire 7 tablet (£29.99, was £49.99) and Fire HD 10 tablet (£99.99, was £149.99). You could make a saving if you bought an Amazon device as part of a bundle with a variety of other gadgets. For instance, a Philips Hue White Bulb E27 with Echo Plus bundle was £109.99 (previously £139.99) and with the Echo Show for £169.99 (previously £219.99). And you could buy Amazon smart speakers with Ring Video Doorbell devices, like the Amazon Echo Spot and Ring Video Doorbell Pro Kit for £228.99 instead of £238.99. Amazon also ran big savings on their subscriptions: 50% off Audible for 4 months (£3.99/month instead of £7.99), 75% off a Kindle Unlimited Membership for 3 months (£1.99/month instead of £7.99) and 3 months of Amazon Music Unlimited for 99p (£23.97). Amazon Black Friday 2019 TV Deals TVs are big-ticket items and they are always heavily discounted on Black Friday. If you need a new TV or are waiting to realise your full Ultra HD, 4K, wide-screen dream, there’s no better time to do it than Black Friday. Last year you could pick up a state-of-the-art Philips 75” 4K Ultra HD Android Smart TV with HDR Plus and 3-sided Ambilight (2018 Model) at over £500 off for £1,999. The still impressively sized 65” model was over 25% off at £599, down from £800, while the 50” model was £399 down from £450. The 65” wide-screen Hisense 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart TV (2018 Model) was only £569 down from £699. Big savings could be made on the Sony Bravia 55” Android 4K HDR TV (£639, was £1,199) with £560 off and there was £500 off the Sony Bravia 49” Android 4K HDR TV (£599, was £1,099) If you were after something more compact, there were great deals on the Sony Bravia 43” Android 4K HDR TV (£539, was £899) and Samsung UE40NU7120 40-inch 4K TV (£343.50, was £529.99). Amazon Black Friday 2019 Laptop Deals Another big tech investment you’ll want to wait until Black Friday to make are laptops. Although not every laptop will be discounted, if you’re flexible about the model or make you buy, you’re sure to pick up a bargain. The well-reviewed Microsoft Surface Go is a portable tablet and laptop hybrid, and the 8GB RAM model could be bought at a £50 discount for £449.99, while the 4GB RAM model was £27 off at £353. The Lenovo IdeaPad 14” Notebook was £60 off at £619.99, The Huawei MateBook X Pro 13.9” was £200 off at £1,299.99, and ASUS ZenBook 13 13.3” was £200 off at £699.99.

Amazon Black Friday 2019 Gaming Deals Gaming can be an expensive past-time when you factor in the console, games and accessories you need to purchase before you can get started. That’s why we recommend going all in on Black Friday when you can make a big saving on your set up. The biggest way to save is on bundles. Last year, there was a huge discount on the Xbox One S bundle with Battlefield V, Fallout 76 and Spyro Reignited Trilogy (£199.99, was £329.99). The latest Xbox, the Xbox One X 1TB, with in-demand games Fallout 76, Forza Horizon 4 and FIFA 19 was £130 off at £399.99. And the latest PlayStation, the PS4 Pro 1TB, with FIFA 19 and Fallout 76 was £50 off at £339. The Nintendo Switch, which usually costs £279, was £249. There were also price reductions on must-have new releases like Red Dead Redemption 2 and gaming gear and accessories. Amazon Black Friday 2019 Audio Deals Amazon discounted up to a whopping 60% off speakers over the Black Friday period, up to £100 off SONOS speakers and up to 33% off microphones. Top brands were significantly reduced and we’re certain the same thing will happen this year. Trendy Beats by Dre EP On-Ear Headphones were half price at £45 and Sony Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones were £70 off at £79.99. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Microphone was £94 off at £229, as were their Beoplay H5 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds.

Amazon slashed prices on appliances, like the Nespresso Lattissima Touch Automatic Coffee Machine (£149, was £279.99). Hardcore coffee fans could make a huge £300 saving on the Krups Evidence EA893840 Automatic Espresso Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, down to £599.99. Health and beauty-wise, there was up to 40% off best-selling luxury fragrances and 35% off top protein powder and supplement brands. One incredible saving was on the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Electric Toothbrush with Travel Case, which was £55 down from £179.99. How to Get the Best Deals from Amazon on Black Friday 2019 If you’re serious about making the most of Amazon’s Black Friday sales, it’s worth signing up to be an Amazon Prime member. Prime members get early and exclusive access to offers like Lightning Deals, which only last for a matter of minutes or hours, and Prime-only deals. An Amazon Prime membership comes with lots of perks, like free delivery (including Same-Day Delivery), exclusive savings, thousands of films and TV shows on Prime Video, eBooks, magazines and comics with Prime Reading, and music streaming with Prime Music. It costs £7.99 a month but you can sign up to a 30-day free trial if you need to test the waters. Students can get a free six-month trial and Amazon Prime Student membership costs just £3.99 a month. As well as Lightning Deals, Amazon run Deals of the Day throughout the Black Friday period. These are exactly as they say on the tin – special offers that expire after 24 hours. Unless you see a Lightning Deal or Deal of the Day offer on a product you want in the run up to Black Friday itself, we recommend holding your horses until 29th November to buy that long-hankered for item, as this is when the big discounts really come out to play.
