The Amazon Black Friday sale may as well officially launch now. It’s not due to kick off until Tuesday, November 17, but after spotting some excellent discounts on Apple AirPods yesterday, followed by a whole host of Ninja kitchen appliance deals today, I’m not entirely sure what it’s waiting for.

DoubleStack XXXL 9. 5L: was $499. 99 now $349
