Well here we are – a week away from one of the biggest shopping event of the year, Black Friday. As we count down the days, minutes and hours, Amazon has kicked off with some incredible offers already!

And if you thought that was good, we’ve even heard that Amazon will be dropping new deals, every day until Cyber Monday at 11:59 pm on November 27 – how good is that?

I count myself as a bit of a shopping expert, and having browsed Amazon’s deals today? My credit card is about to take a hammering. From TVs to air fryers, fashion and beauty products, toys, essentials for the home and even coffee machines – there’s something for everyone.

Not to mention incredible savings on Amazon’s own devices, like the Echo Pop for under £20 and Fire TV Sticks for a bargain price of £34.99, now with 42% off – it’s ready when you are, to binge watch all your favourite Christmas movies.

Now we recommend, if you aren’t already, becoming an Amazon Prime customer. Why you may ask? Well not only can you access one-day and next day delivery, but movies and music for free, you can also access a plethora of books – for your next holiday, weekend away or just something to get your teeth into before bed.

Amazon Prime is free for 30 days, then after this, you’ll be charged £8.99 a month – and with so much on offer, it’s really worth it. You can sign up here and make the most of exclusive prices and even be the first in the know for price cuts and offers too.

So what am I personally buying this Black Friday from Amazon?
