Best Black Friday 2023 deals to expect on Amazon devices, from Kindle to Echo speakers

Can you hear it? The sound of piggy banks being emptied across the land in anticipation of this year’s Black Friday extravaganza!

Alright, so we may be exaggerating a bit here, but the end of the year always holds a certain frisson of excitement because the biggest, baddest sale is knocking on our door. In the midst of another cost-of-living winter, it couldn’t be more welcome.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday, the sales event that eclipses them all, takes place on the last weekend of November. This year the date to know is November 24.

What is Black Friday?

It all began as a little Stateside sale timed the day after Thanksgiving as shops took advantage of families being together. While we Brits save our turkey and all the trimmings for Christmas, we’ve gladly adopted Black Friday sales - after all, who doesn’t appreciate discounted prices right before the festive period?

When does Black Friday end?

It starts on Friday and runs through the weekend to Cyber Monday on the other end. A day to swoop in on tech, gadgets and all things electrical, this year Cyber Monday will be on November 27. Buy it then, or regret it until next year’s Black Friday sale

What kind of deals on Amazon devices can we expect?

The internet giant goes in on Black Friday, with discounts particularly deep across its own-brand tech. We’re talking Fires, we’re talking Kindles, we’re talking Ring Video Doorbells - and that’s just for starters. Prices can be as low as £12.99 for a Fire TV stick, allowing you to turn any TV set into a smart one. If that’s not something to get excited about, we don’t know what is.

Amazon will be offering Invite-Only deals this year, applicable only to UK-based Prime members. To apply, find a deal you're interested in and look for an 'Invite-Only Prime Deal'. Cross your fingers and keep an eye on your inbox; if selected, that's where your invite for cheaper Black Friday prices will be. Invites are limited and for the account holder only, with one purchase per click.
