Earlier than usual, Boots* has launched its Black Friday deals as of Wednesday 30 October, and they'll last throughout the whole of November, while stocks last.
There isn't a blanket discount across the sale – instead there are various offers on different departments including 'save up to 60% off electrical beauty', 'up to 25% off fragrance', and 'up to 30% off premium beauty'. When we checked, the biggest overall discount we saw was 70% off, and the smallest discount we saw was 15%.
On the day the sale launched, there were 3,600+ discounted products, and when we checked on Friday 29 November there were 4,600+ discounted products.
From what we've seen so far, most of the branded items we checked were the same price or cheaper elsewhere.
Some deals we found at 6.55am on Friday 29 November include:
Olay Regenerist 3Point Firming Anti-Ageing Night Face Cream Moisturiser 50ml* – £14.96 (was £34). Price matched at Amazon

Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’re getting the best deal – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

For the last three years, Boots* has spread Black Friday deals across the whole month, starting last year on 1 November, and we're expecting it to start around the same date this year.
Previously Boots offered up to 60% off on fragrance, make-up and electricals as blanket deals, but that wasn't the case last year. Discounts tended to vary from product to product, and we found that branded items, beauty and electricals were often cheaper elsewhere. Unfortunately, there were a surprising number of dud deals in Boots' Black Friday offering, so we're hoping to see an improvement in 2024.
A few strong examples we spotted last year included:
Hismile V34 Colour Corrector Serum 30ml – £11 (normally £19). Next cheapest, £14.99 at Superdrug
No7 Ultimate Cosmetic Collection 8 piece set – £25 (normally £52). If you were to buy each item individually, it would cost you around £74
Liz Earle Glowing Hydration Routine 4-Piece full size – £36 (normally £93). If you were to buy each item individually, it would cost you around £67
Some dud deals we found last year:
CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with salicylic acid 473ml – £18 (was £22.50). Cheaper elsewhere, £14.44 on Amazon
No7 Cordless Illuminated Mirror Silver – £20 (was £54.95). Often been £10 in Boots' £10 Tuesday deals
Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener S8500 – £21.50 (was £79). Cheaper elsewhere, £19.99 at Currys
Versace Crystal Noir Eau de Toilette 50ml – £51.99 (was £78). Cheaper elsewhere, £35 for Superdrug Members
Important: Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’re getting the best deal – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.
