'I'm an ex-Boots employee - these are the Black Friday deals actually worth buying to save money'

Black Friday will be here before we know it, with just over three weeks to go until November 29. Many retailers, including the likes of Superdrug, Dyson, Oodie and LookFantastic, have released their Black Friday savings early - with plenty of unmissable deals to be had.

One of our high streets favourites, Boots, kicked off its Black Friday event last Friday (November 1) and it's expected to last for the whole month, offering shoppers the opportunity to nap up some serious savings on beauty, gifting and more. In fact, the health and beauty retailer has slashed the price of thousands of products across premium makeup, skincare, electricals, fragrance and more.

Boots promises 'amazing savings' but it can be a tall task sifting through all the price drops to find the discounts you actually want. Luckily, we've gone through and picked out some of our favourite deals and offers.
