Amazon Black Friday 2015 Deals
Amazon has been committed to Black Friday since 2010, and every year the event has been getting bigger. For 2015 it has been running deals all week - from toys to jewellery and laptops - and since Monday it has run 7,000 deals. From midnight Thursday night it upped the ante even more.

The third type of deal is the lightning deal - which run for a limited time (a few hours) or until the item sells out. To mimic the trolley-dash vibe of the high street, these are going live every ten minutes. At any time on the site, you can see the deals that are currently live and those that are coming up, so you know when you should be checking back again.
At the time of writing, some of the best available lightning deals were: the Binatone Shield 6015 Call Blocker Twin Home Telephone down from £39.99 to £27.49 until (7pm); Braun Series 3 3040 Men's Electric Foil Shaver Wet/Dry down from £99.99 to £28.99 (until 6pm); Sugru Mouldable Glue (Pack of 8) down from £12.99 to 7.99 (until around 5.20); Kipling Practi-Cool Shoulder Bag in Brown or Blue down from £74 to £29.99 (until around 5.30); BLACK+DECKER Workmate WM825 down from £121.18 to £52.99 (until 3.15), Sage by Heston Blumenthal the Nutri Juicer down from £149.99 to £89 (until 4.30) and Raleigh Spectrum Women's Dual Suspension 16 inch Mountain Bike down from £124.84 to £74.99 (until 7pm).
The deals range from dog food to karaoke machines and toys to running shoes, so if there's something you're after, it's worth bookmarking the page and popping back every couple of hours to check out the latest deals. We will also bring you updates on some of the best deals available in this category throughout the day.
