As one of the world’s largest retailers, Amazon is definitely diving into the sales madness again this year.
Unlike some retailers that play it coy, Amazon never shies away from confirming its involvement.
Last year, they slashed prices across the board, everything from its own devices to smart TVs, home essentials, beauty products, headphones, and even chocolates were up for grabs.
So, be prepared to hop onto the Amazon site as soon as those deals drop.
If you’re a US shopper, you can find Amazon US Black Friday deals too.
Amazon’s Black Friday sale is the perfect opportunity to either spoil yourself or get a jumpstart on your Christmas shopping.
From what we’ve seen in the past, you can expect massive discounts on everything from TVs and game consoles to laptops, headphones, smartwatches, home gadgets, fashion, and beauty items.
The November sale has always been a treasure trove of deals across nearly every shopping category on the site.
Some of the most popular items in Amazon’s sale worth checking out are:
Amazon’s Black Friday sale kicks off, you guessed it, on Black Friday on November 29.
While you might see some deals starting right at the day’s start, expect more to pop up as the day goes on.
That said, Amazon will probably start dropping some deals in mid-November, with the best price drops saved for the big day.
Black Friday deals used to wrap up at midnight, but these days, retailers have stretched the savings out.
Amazon, for example, tends to keep the discounts rolling through the weekend and into Cyber Monday, the online sibling to Black Friday.
They even drop new lightning deals during this time, but you’ve got to act fast because they’re only available while stocks last.
Cyber Monday is set for December 2 this year, marking the last chance for shoppers to snag some great deals.
Amazon typically jumps in with discounts throughout the sales weekend and into Cyber Monday, so you can extend your bargain hunting a bit longer.
Originally, Cyber Monday deals were an online-only affair and focused on tech (hence the name).
In contrast, Black Friday deals were available both online and in-store, with a focus on big-ticket items.
Lately, the lines have blurred, with retailers, including Amazon, offering similar deals from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, with sales usually wrapping up at midnight on Monday.
Last year’s Black Friday brought a fresh wave of amazing discounts on Amazon, and we even saw some exclusive savings for Prime members.
Black Friday deals from Amazon in 2023 included:
Looking at previous years, Amazon usually rolls out some seriously big discounts.
We’re talking hundreds of pounds off major purchases, sometimes more than 50% off.
In fact, discounts can reach up to 70-80% on some items, although most often you’ll see savings in the 20-50% range.
That makes a huge difference when shopping for things like TVs, appliances, and tech for the home.
You can also snag great deals on the latest models from top brands such as Apple, Samsung, and more.
The first place to visit is our Black Friday page – we’ll be keeping you up to date with all the best bargains.

LIAM Payne’s friends were so worried about the star’s excessive drink and alleged drug use in recent weeks that they were planning an intervention, a source has revealed.
Tragically for the distraught pals, they were too late, as Liam, 31, fell from the third floor of the CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and died on Wednesday after behaving erratically.
Champagne, prescription drugs, white powder and foil wraps were all found in Liam’s trashed hotel room where he plummeted to his death from the balcony at around 5pm.
Fellow hotel guests revealed how the star was acting in a “disturbing” manner shortly before his death, with Liam admitting to one woman: “I used to be in a boy band – that’s why I’m so f**ked up.”
Friends said that Liam had been in a dark place the past few weeks and turned to drink as he struggled with his career and other personal issues.
Liam’s record label Universal also reportedly dropped the star just a few days ago.
A source told The Sun exclusively: “His friends have been worried about him for weeks because he was struggling with his career and wanted to release some new music but he felt he wasn’t as good as his other bandmates, which they kept telling him just wasn’t true. He was just always so hard on himself.
“Then in recent weeks his drinking and suspected drug use started to worry his friends, they were actually planning an intervention, it was that bad.
“They were heartbroken seeing him this way – but just didn’t know how to go about staging a proper intervention.
“They’ve been worried sick about him, he’s just been in a bad place for the past few weeks. Lots of his friends had been telling him gently to get professional help or go to rehab but he just wouldn’t listen.
“The day of his death he was acting very off and erratically. One of his friends suggested to him again to him that he should get help but this just seemed to set him off more.
“Everyone is just distraught – their only comfort is that police have said he would have died instantly in the fall so he wouldn’t have suffered.”
Dad-of-one Liam was in the Argentinian city for his bandmate Niall Horan’s concert when he died.
His girlfriend Kate Cassidy, 25, had been with him on the trip but reportedly returned home to Florida two days before his death.
Emergency services in Buenos Aires confirmed he died instantly from fatal injuries to his skull.
An autopsy stated that Liam’s severe injuries led to “internal and external haemorrhaging”.
Police said they found what appeared to be “narcotics, alcohol, destroyed objects and furniture” in his hotel room as well as over the counter and prescription drugs.
Results from a toxicology report are pending.
In recent weeks his drinking and suspected drug use started to worry his loved ones, they were actually planning an intervention, it was that bad.

Witnesses said they saw Liam “causing a disturbance” minutes before he died.
One hotel guest Brett Watson told ITV that he saw Liam appear to pass out before being physically removed from the lobby and taken back to his room.
Staff then made a 911 call telling cops that they needed “urgent assistance” with a guest who was “behaving erratically”.
They reported that the guest was “destroying everything in his room” according to recordings of the call.
Argentinian prosecutors said they had spoken to two witnesses who were allegedly with him the night before his death, although it is believed the two females left the hotel without him earlier on Wednesday after waiting for him in the lobby, local news outlet Infobae reported.
SHOCKED fans, former co-workers, loved ones and friends flooded social media with sad tributes to Liam Payne after news of his death emerged.

Liam Gallagher said he was “very sad” and told his followers on X: “Life is precious Kids, you only get to do it once, go easy.”
Former X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has also expressed his shock and spoke on This Morning.
He said: “I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.
“He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.”
BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball reacted to the “devastating news” on her show and told fans she hugged her own son Woody tight this morning.
JLS band member Marvin Humes reflected on his memories with the singer, sharing: “I first met Liam in 2008 with the JLS boys whilst auditioning for X Factor..he was 14 years old..
“We instantly clicked and looked at him as a little brother..that year it worked out for us but not for him and then 2 years later he went back to audition and One Direction was born..the rest is history..
“Absolutely heartbroken by the tragic news..Liam you wanted to be a global superstar and you did it bro..just can’t believe that things have ended this way..it’s shocking..my thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends brother..RIP.”
Niall Horan’s brother Greg shared an emotional tribute to Liam, praising him as a “top young man”.
He added: “You will be forever missed. Liam, words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys.
“My heart goes out to your family parents and sisters and your son Bear and your 1D brothers.
“10th October we met and we started out that evening as 5 families into one big one 1D family thank you for all the laughs bro watch down on all your family and mind them lots of love kiddo x x x 1D 4 LIFE x x x”
German DJ Anton Zaslavski, otherwise known as Zedd, has taken to X with a devastated statement.
The producer, who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low, wrote: “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking…”
American singer, Charlie Puth, who was friends with Liam and also collaborated with him on a song called Bedroom Floor, has posted a series of Instagram stories dedicated to him.
Alongside photos of the two of them together in their younger days, Charlie wrote: “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me.
“He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone…
“I am so upset right now, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry…”
Irish singer duo Jedward also took to social media, saying: “RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to friends and family.”

Meanwhile Love Island star Molly Marsh penned: “I’m so taken aback, rest in peace.”

The Gavin and Stacey actor wrote on Instagram: “Talking about Liam in the past tense is utterly heart-breaking.
“I will treasure the moments I got to spend with him. My thoughts are with his family today x.”
Payne previously appeared on Cordon’s The Late Late Show in America.
Former Little Mix star Jade Thirwall – who won X Factor with her bandmates one year after One Direction took part – described him as “the first friend I made in this industry”.
She said: “We fell out of touch as the years went by, but back in 2008 he was the first friend I made in this industry.
“Both of us so young, so ambitious, both hoping we’d ‘make it’. I hope you are at peace now”.
Camila Cabello described his death as a “tragedy” and said he “made an impression” on her when she was a young girl.
Liam’s One Direction bandmates said they were “devastated” over the news.
In a joint statement they said: “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.”
In a separate statement, bandmate Harry Styles said Liam’s “greatest joy was making people happy” while Louis Tomlinson said “he was the kind of brother I’d longed for”.
Liam’s family said they were devastated at the star’s death.
The star also leaves behind his son Bear, who he had with Cheryl Cole.
Crowds of mourning fans gathered outside the hotel to pay their respects to the pop star, who skyrocketed to fame aged just 16 in the X Factor in 2010.
The Sun has reached out to Liam’s rep for comment.
A ONE-YEAR-OLD baby boy and a woman have died from their injuries after a crash between a car and a double decker school bus in Cornwall.
The crash happened on the B3296 Meaver Road at Mullion at 8.40am on Monday morning.
The 31-year-old woman car driver died earlier this week in hospital from her injuries and today police said the baby boy – believed to be her son – had also died.
Both were in the car which collided with the bus taking 28 children to the local Mullion school.
One child on the bus was seriously injured, the rest sustained only minor wounds.
The dead pair were travelling in a silver Vauxhall Astra and lived locally.
Police said they were ‘deeply saddened’ by the deaths and are appealing for dashcam footage to help with their inquiries.
A loved one of the woman who died wrote in a tribute on Facebook: “It’s such a shock to us as a family, I would really appreciate it if you could all respect our privacy with dealing with the loss.”
Sergeant Phil Brown from Devon & Cornwall Police Serious Collisions Investigation Team said: “We are deeply saddened that a woman and child have now died following the collision in Mullion earlier this week.
“It is impossible to put into words the grief those close to them are feeling right now.
“Our thoughts continue to be with everybody involved as we continue to work with the school and partners to make sure everybody receives the support they require following this tragic collision.”
The force added the family wish for their privacy to be respected at this difficult time as they come to terms with their loss.
Anyone with any relevant information or dashcam footage which may assist the investigation is asked to contact police via the force website or by calling 101, quoting 50240260109.

ONE of the best airlines in the world has revealed their brand new cabins – with better seats in economy.
Cathay Pacific was named the fifth best airline in the world earlier this year in the SkyTrax Awards.
It also won World’s Best Economy this year, as well as World’s Cleanest Airline.
Cathay Group CEO Ronald Lam saying they were “extremely encouraged” after moving up from the top 10 to the top five for being one of the top airlines.
And launching this month are new cabins on their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
The economy cabin is being “refreshed” with new seat covers as well as improved ergonomics.
The inflight entertainment interface has been improved, while the headrests are now flexible.
Premium Economy upgrades include padded footrests, leather headrests and 12.6 inch 4K screens.
The privacy features have been improved with “wings” and dividers between the seats.
Reading lights, cocktail tables and extra storage are also part of the new designs.
The premium economy passengers also get their own bathrooms on the flight, with touchless flush, taps and bins.
And Cathay Pacific is rolling out their Aria Suite in business class.
The “crown jewel” of business class, new suite doors have been introduced for the first time.
The doors are similar to ones on other airlines such as Qatar Airways and British Airways.
The suites also have 24 inch TV screens, wireless charging and fancy suede walls and wool seats.
There are even new storage designs which have cabinets and drawers, with headphone hooks, drink trays and personal mirrors.
Brits can fly with Cathay Pacific on flights from London Heathrow and Manchester to Hong Kong.
Flights start from £670 return, taking around 11 hours.
Another airline recently revealed their new cabin designs.
Delta connects the UK to the US with flights from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Edinburgh.
Cathay Pacific connects the UK to Hong Kong – and the Sun’s Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey visited.
“Hong Kong is a great stopover destination between trips to Australia and New Zealand.
“It’s easy to get around — the Metro is simpler than the London Underground and you can even hop on a “ding ding,” one of the many double-decker trams.
“There are amazing bars to choose from – Ozone is the the highest rooftop bar in the world while the Quinary was named one of the best bars in Asia.
“Escape the city for a day to Sai Kung, an hour away and called the “back garden of Hong Kong” although even reminded me of Hawaii.
“If you want to stay, then the most famous is the country’s oldest hotel, The Peninsula.
“Dating back to 1928 and dubbed the Grand Dame of the East, it has since opened a hotel in London.”
Being introduced on their Boeing 757 planes, improvements are being rolled out in economy, premium economy and business class.
And we went to see what to expect from British Airways’ mega £7billion makeover of the entire airline – here’s what you can expect.
THERE’S nothing like a cosy candle to get your in the holiday spirit – and Yankee Candle are known for their delicious scents.
The brand recently dropped 12 brand new scents for the holiday season, but fans are still begging for the return of an old favorite.
The new candles are available for just $24.99 each, and there are some stunning scents to choose from.
For the mint fans, there’s the North Pole Hideaway candle, which is described as a “fresh and clean fragrance” with tops notes of “sparkling snowflakes, frosted greens, chilled bergamot” and middle notes of “arctic mint, icy air, glacial water”, and base notes of “snow powder, white must and soft amber.
If you prefer something a little warmer, why not pick up the Red Apple Wreath candle?
The product boasts the “festive aroma of sweet apples, cinnamon, walnuts and maple” – what’s not to love?
In fact, shoppers have already been leaving perfect five star reviews for the candle online.
One wrote: “It is the perfect winter scent and this candle can really cause the room to smell amazing. It’s potent but not overwhelming.”
Candle fans have also been raving about the Sparkling Cinnamon option, which also has plenty of rave reviews.
“Wow! This candle smells great. I’m not a huge candle person in general but this one is perfect for the holidays and makes my house smell so warm and wonderful,” one happy shopper wrote.
The other new Yankee scents include, Cookies By The Fire, which has a a sweet and spicey scent, and there’s the Tree Farm Festival candle, which smells like “horse-drawn hayrides, hot cider, freshly made wreaths.”
Or maybe you’re a fan of woody scents, in which case the Snow Globe Wonderland candle is the one for you.
You can also pick from ’Tis the Sea-Sun in Sydney, Balsam & Cedar or Christmas Cookie for your festive candle fix.
But despite the new options, some Yankee Candle fans are still lusting after a scent that has been discontinued.
Posting on TikTok, one fan revealed they hope the Holiday Lights candle will make a return each holiday season.
But afteryears of bitter disappointment, it seems unlikely the brans will bring the fan favorite back.
“I’ve been wating six years for them to bring it back,” the candle lover said on in the social media clip.
“Somebody please tell them I’m tired of the cinnamon and all the other candles they try to get you to buy. I want the Holiday Lights candle back,” he added.
With a jasmine and praline scent, it’s no wonder the shopper was keen to see the return on the candle – it sounds incredible.

CHARLES Gassler was a hugely successful defense attorney, who defended Lyle Menendez in his second trial for the murder of his parents.
He specialized in death penalty litigation and, in his final trial, he succeeded in saving Lyle from the death penalty.
Although not much is known about Charles’ childhood, it is known that he was born on May 26, 1933.
He graduated from USC Gould School of Law in 1961 and then went on to work as a deputy district attorney in LA county.
Charles joined the public defender’s office in 1965 and began specializing in death penalty litigation.
One of his most high profile clients was G. Gordon Liddy, an American lawyer and FBI agent who directed the burglary of the Democratic National Committee in 1972.
The event, known to the world as Watergate, was one of the biggest moments in American political history.
G. Gordon Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping in a high-profile court case that captured America’s imagination.
Charles later defended Vaughan Greenwood, who was known as the Skid Row Slasher.
Vaughan murdered eleven homeless people between 1964 and 1975 and was reported to have drunk the blood of some of the victims.
In 1977, Vaughan was sentenced to life in prison but was spared the death penalty thanks to Charles’ efforts.
On August 20, 1989, Erik and Lyle Menendez murdered their parents Kitty and Jose.
The killing was so brutal that the police initially thought the Mob had been involved.
Eventually, the brothers were arrested after Erik confessed to his therapist, Dr Jerome Oziel, about his crime.
Jerome’s mistress, Judalon Smyth, then told the police about Erik’s confession.
In court, the brothers alleged that they had been victims of sexual abuse at the hands of their father and that their actions were in self-defense.
The trial ended in a hung jury, which infuriated their lawyer Leslie Abramson.
Jill Lansing, Lyle’s lawyer in the first trial, stepped back from the case, so Leslie called on Charles to save Lyle from the death penalty.
At the time, Charles was 62-years-old and had decided that Lyle would be his final client.
Although the brothers were sentenced to life in prison, Charles was victorious in preventing Lyle from being sentenced to the death penalty.
When asked about Charles’ victory, Leslie said: “I’m so glad, for him, he didn’t go out a loser.”
Then, after more than 30 years of working as a public defender who saw every single one of his clients spared the death penalty, Charles retired.
When Charles retired, there was a swell of support and praise from lawyers across the legal profession.
Jill Lansing honored the highly-achieved lawyer by saying that he had an “aura of integrity”.
She said: “He’s very smart.
“He’s very hard-working–he not only keeps up on the law, he prepares his cases extremely well.
“He has very sound judgment.
“And I think he brings with him into the courtroom an aura of integrity.
“I think jurors know they can trust what he says.
She added: “That is a terrifically powerful ally to have in a courtroom, your credibility.”
After the trial, Charles served as a vestry member, a senior warden, clergy of the vestry and delegate to the Diocesan Convention at St Cross Episcopal Church.
He was rewarded for his efforts when Bishop J. Jon Bruno named him a canon of the Cathedral Center of St Paul in 2012.
Sadly, Charles passed away on April 27, 2019, and a funeral service was held in his honor at St Cross Church.
A DARTS company has revealed they have been receiving death threats after deciding to sponsor two players.
DartsHub is known for compiling videos of darts-related content and has more than 25,000 followers on Instagram.
The company recently began sponsoring world No11 Dimitri Van den Bergh and world No37 Callan Rydz.
And they have now taken to social media to confirm the vile threats they have been on the end of in response to their link-up with the pair.
They posted: “This is not something I ever thought I would share, but it’s an important message that needs to be shared.
“Ever since I announced my sponsorship of Dimitri and Callan, I’ve been getting a lot of hate messages. Sometimes that includes death threats.
“I understand that not everyone can be a fan of the players, but messages like ‘I’m going to kill you if you don’t stop this’ really go too far.
“Sponsoring them was one of my dreams and I want to thank them for that opportunity. I have already met them too and they are really friendly people.
“We all have families too, so think twice before sending something like that. Hopefully this message will have a positive impact. In any case, I’m not going to quit.”
World champion Luke Humphries was one of the first people to defend DartsHub as he gave them the encouragement to keep going.
He said: “You keep going pal, you’re a top guy! Lovely meeting you the other month.
“Looking forward to the next time 
not many people can say they sponsor two top players 
.”
Belgian Van den Bergh, 30, was criticised earlier this year for “delaying tactics” against Humphries.
Van den Bergh was booed by the crowd, but Humphries insisted he was not bothered by it.
He said: “I wasn’t angry with him. I’m used to Dimitri being quite a flowy player, quite a good pace to play against.
“He’s completely different now. He’s probably one of the toughest players to play. He’s incredibly slow and takes a long, long time to take his darts out. It was quite tough to follow the rhythm.
“The crowd were on his back. I tried to stop them from booing and whistling. But the crowd made their mind up.
“I thought when he slowed everything down when he was 10-8 up I thought, it’s not a good thing to do that. The crowd are getting on your back then. I thought I had him for a moment.”
DRIVERS can get two years of free charging if they purchase a brand new Porsche Macan priced at $94,000 – but there are limits to where they can go.
The German brand’s hugely popular junior SUV has gone fully electric – with the entry-level version finally available to buy.
The all-electric Macan, which sits below the Cayenne in the luxury marque’s range of vehicles, was released back in January with the Macan 4 and Macan Turbo.
Now, the entry-level Macan has been made available to buy with a starting price of $94,900 – and new owners can charge up their shiny new EV for free thanks to an incredibly generous new offer.
However, it seems that Canadian Porsche buyers will be the only ones to benefit, as Porsche Cars Canada has linked up with Electrify Canada to provide the incredible charging benefits for drivers.
With the brand expanding its network of ultra and hyper-fast charging stations, Macan owners will be handed a whole two years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions.
The offer applies to all electric Macan models sold in Canada, allowing owners to charge their vehicles at public stations across the country for two years from the date of purchase.
The Macan EV’s price starts at $94,900 for the basic model, while its other iterations, the Macan 4 and Macan 4S are priced at $99,300 and $106,900 respectively.
The top-of-the-range Macan Turbo will cost a cool $125,300.
However, these prices include the complimentary charging benefit offered by Electrify Canada.
The EV network is ever-growing, and they claim over 40 new Hyper-Fast chargers are being added nationwide.
They say these new locations will be strategically placed along major highways and key areas – including the likes of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
President and CEO of Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., Trevor Arthur, highlighted that the expanding network will allow owners to enjoy fast charging while exploring Canada’s scenic routes.
He said: “Every Porsche is a sports car at its core and the new Macan Electric is no exception.”
Charging the Macan’s battery is quick and easy, with Porsche claiming the luxury model can be charged from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes at a 350kW station.
The Mancan’s 800-volt architecture supports a DC charging capacity of up to 270 kW, which means it’s great for driving long distances.
Recently, the chief designer of Porsche revealed that he dreams of designing a smaller and more compact version of the brand’s most iconic model – in a nod to its earlier years.
Car design guru Michael Mauer, who’s worked for the likes of Mercedes and Saab before joining Porsche in 2004, is keen for their next-generation 911 to be scaled-down – although he admits this could be a challenge.
Elsewhere, a luxury car brand is set to release a high-performance sporty EV next year to finally rival the Porsche Taycan.
