Black Friday 2020 has started early this year with Amazon already launching some amazing deals online.
The online retail giant kickstarted the spending frenzy a month early today with their Black Friday deals.
The move by Amazon comes just a couple of weeks after Prime Day, which was delayed until mid-October from July due to Covid-19.
Shoppers can also take advantage of "Lightning Deals" which are available for a limited time. However, if you're a Prime member you will gain access to these 30 minutes early.

What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is one of the busiest days in the retail calendar and sees stores launch huge sales to encourage customer spending.
It originally started in the United States, but it has now become an annual event here in Scotland.
Black Friday also ties in perfectly for the start of the Christmas shopping season, meaning that customers have an opportunity to grab some early bargains.
When is Black Friday?
Depsite Amazon's early sales, Black Friday will officially take place on Friday, November 27.
However, many major retailers tend to start their sales a few days beforehand.
Are you looking to start your Christmas shopping early? Then head here to see some of the great deals on offer.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
