Oh, hello! You’ve caught me perusing some UK sales as part of the October Amazon Prime Day deals bonanza of the year. Now in its second day, I’m in the mood for a bargain. And I suspect you might be too.

So why not come with me on a bit of a British bargain hunt? I’ve poked around the likes of Amazon, Currys and other corners of the internet (no, not those ones you mucky pup), to find deals I think are actually worth your consideration.
Who am I to recommend such deals? Well I’ve been covering tech deals and more for years, plus I now look after TechRadar’s super-skilled Deals team, and I am also a savvy bargain hunter in my personal life; I’m the guy who digs around in TK Maxx rails for cut-price designer jeans and jackets.
Anyway, enough of my waffling. Let’s get into it.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days – Quick Links
First thing first, some quick links to some bargain areas. I’ve scanned these, and while Amazon may have ramped some products like the Oral-B toothbrushes up to their original RRP to be able to slap a big old discount label on them, the deals here are still offer some good prices for solid gadgets and tech.
TV deals
Now I already have a cracking LG C1 OLED TV, so I don’t need another one but you might be after a new telly, especially if you’re considering getting a PS5 Pro and want a 4K screen to go with it. So below are the TVs I think you should consider, based off my own knowledge and the expertise of the wider TechRadar team.
My personal pick would be one of the LG C-series OLEDs as they are great gaming TVs.
Audio, headphones and earbuds
Prime Day and parallel sales present a great opportunity to grab some cut-price audio gear, specifically headphones. I did this last year and nabbed a great set of Sony wireless earbuds. So if you’re in the market for some audio bargains or a new pair of cans, read on for my suggestions.
Laptops
I used to look after the Computing section for TechRadar’s sibling site Tom’s Guide, so I’m a bit if a laptop aficionado. So I can vouch for the deals below.
That being said, I’d throw all my money behind a MacBook Air M2 or M3, as I’m using the former as I type these very words and I think it’s the most wonderful portable computer.
Gaming
I also used to look after gaming at Tom’s Guide, so I’m well versed in providing advice around gaming hardware; plus I can tap up the TechRadar Computing and Gaming teams for advice too. So here are a selection of hand-picked gaming deals; just don’t expect any huge discounts on the current-generation games consoles; the real bargains are in peripherals and gaming laptops.
Phones and Tablets
So I manage the Mobile Computing vertical at TechRadar (aka phones and tablets) so you can trust my recommendations here. This is also one of the best times to secure a cut-price iPad, though the UK deals haven’t been great; I’d say stick to a discounted iPad mini.
But it’s also good for discounts on Google‘s excellent Pixel phones. And Kindles are naturally discounted on Amazon, if they are in stock.
Other stuff
Right, listen: I’ll level with you, I’ve pulled together a load of deals above, so what you’ll find below are a bunch of discounted products that don’t necessarily fit into an easy category or ones I’ve not got a particular expertise in. But the ones I’ve selected here tend to come with the seal of approval from people with more specialist knowledge on the team. So I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of these deals.
So that’s your lot. There should be deals in this article that appeal to you. If not then why not give the TechRadar WhatsApp deals channel a follow, as that’s where we’ll flag even more deals.
And if you still feel unfulfilled on the bargain front, make sure to check back with TechRadar come the Black Friday sales season. Oh, and browse the links below.
