The Currys Black Friday sale is over (sort of)
Currys has ended its Black Friday sale, but many of the top products we found are still on offer at their discounted price.
Case in point: the PS5 digital edition is still going at £310.
PlayStation 5 (digital edition): Was £389, now £310, Currys.co.uk
The digital edition PS5 doesn’t have a disc drive, which obviously means you can’t play any physical games or movies you might own. Instead you’re limited to digital games and media you’ve downloaded from the PlayStation Store – which is the main way many people play these days anyway.
You can always add the disc drive later by purchasing one separately, if you can find one in stock that is (£99, Playstation.com). The drive had been fairly priced at £79.99 – the difference between the disc edition console and the digital edition consle – but Sony’s just bumped the price of the drive up by a tenner. Rude.
There’s still time to find Black Friday deals at Argos
Over at Argos, a plaintive banner reads “Black Friday must end soon”. We feel you, Argos – this sale feels like it’s been going on forever.
The retailer’s sale is still rolling, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts on everything from games consoles to toothbrushes from now until midnight tonight. Want to see the best deals at Argos? Our guide has you covered.

What did we buy this Black Friday weekend?
Here’s another little insight into the shopping habits of the IndyBest team. My colleague Mollie managed to grab some bargain Christmas gifts in the Black Friday sale.
“During the Black Friday sale event I was quick to snap up a few bargains for Christmas gifts, including a Simba hybrid pillow (£109, Simba.com) for my dad and some Gymshark goodies for my sister,” Mollie told me.

Says Mollie: “With some sales still live, I’m hoping Santa will get me a pair of super chic mary janes with nearly 50 per cent off, from the Spanish brand Flabelus that style icons are loving.”
You listening, Mister Claus?

We got £40 off this JoJo play kitchen
My colleague Leeanna grabbed a Black Friday discount on the Camden play kitchen at Jojo, which had £40 off in the Black Friday sale. Good luck with the Christmas wrapping, Leeanna – hopefully your kid doesn’t read our Black Friday liveblog.

What did I buy this Black Friday?
Ever wonder what we talk about around the IndyBest watercooler? That’s right, it’s deals. Specifically what each of us bought in the sale.
Here’s what I spent my pocket money on: the Anker 737 powerbank, which still has a whopping £60 off at Amazon.
Anker power bank 737: Was £139.99, now £79.99, Amazon.co.uk
The second-biggest power bank Anker makes has a 24,000mAh battery and a 140W output, giving it enough juice to charge an iPhone four or five times over, or fully charge a MacBook air. It can charge three devices at once, and has a little screen so you can keep an eye on its status.
