The Argos Boxing Day sale is live: here are 16 deals I'd buy with my own cash
The Argos Boxing Day sale is easily it's best of the entire year
The Argos Boxing Day sale is still in full swing right now after it kicked off earlier this week. The retailer's massive 'Winter Sale' features thousands of discounts on everything from air fryers to cabinets in one last big savings event to close out the year.
There are a ton of deals to sift through, which is why I've rounded up my favourites from the Argos Boxing Day sales below. As TechRadar's deals editor, I've had a head-start when it comes to finding record-low prices on tech as it's something I do all year! Argos' deals today are superb - so good, in fact, that many of them match those from Black Friday.
For example, there are some great discounts on tech from leading brands like Apple, Ninja, LG, and Fitbit that I've picked out below. As you'd imagine, the Argos Boxing Day sales aren't just for tech, however, so I've also made sure to include toys, furniture, and appliances to give our readers an overview.

Today's best deals in the Argos Boxing Day sale
The latest wearable in Fitbit's range of dedicated fitness trackers has dropped back to its cheapest price in the current Argos Boxing Day sale - just in time for that new year fitness push. It's a small but welcome £40 saving on a device we found lighter, prettier and smarter compared to the previous version in our Fitbit Charge 6 review. Key features include a seven-day battery life, onboard GPS and GLONASS, sleep tracking, smart wake, SpO2 blood oxygen tracking and all the other features the excellent Charge 5 offered.
Even though the console has only just come out, Argos has already taken £40 off the brand-new PS5 Pro. The upgraded PS5 Pro boasts greater power over the base console, enabling select games to look better and run smoother. Plus, there's 2TB of storage included, which is double the amount in the standard PS5. Just know, though, that this console doesn't have a disc drive so you'll need to buy all of your games digitally on the PS Store – or buy the PS5 Disc Drive accessory and attach it to the console to play physical games.
LEGO at Argos: get 20% off with code
You can use the code LEGO20 at check out to knock a massive 20% off the listing price of a massive range of LEGO kits at Argos today. There are over 150 individual kits eligible for this discount, including Disney, Harry Potter, Mario, and other well-known crossover brands.
The Fire HD 8 tablet is unlikely to make it into our list of the best tablets but if you're after a cheap tablet that does the basics well, then you'll be more than satisfied. It's not the most powerful device but this cheap and durable tablet lasts up to 13 hours, making it good for light use and watching videos. It's still at its Black Friday price - but not for long.
This beats the discount we saw last year by £20 on the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.
If you're looking for a slightly bigger smart home display, Argos has the latest Amazon Echo Show 8 on sale for £94.99. That's back to the record-low price I saw during Black Friday. The eight-inch display allows you to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices completely hands-free thanks to Alexa compatibility. The addition of room-filling spatial audio gives a big boost to all of these features to improve sound quality.
Looking to up your air frying game significantly? The Foodi FlexDrawer is one of our favourite models from Ninja, earning an impressive four and a half stars out of five during our review. We loved its ease of use, great results, and generous capacity - although note that this is one big air fryer so it's not the best for those with limited work-top space. We've seen this one slightly cheaper at other retailers recently but today's discount at Argos is the usual sales price and a good option.
It's a bit older now but I'd highly rate this Asus Vivobook 15 when it comes to value. For £449 you're getting not just a powerful 12th gen Intel Core i5 chipset but also an OLED display - something you usually only see on higher-end machines. Generally speaking, the specs here are more than adequate for the basics and this lightweight machine is perfect for consuming content thanks to its decent display. Make sure you use the code WINTER10 at checkout to knock a further £50 off today's price at Argos.
The Shark Stratos has all you could need from a vacuum cleaner and at a very good price after this huge discount. It has a cartridge system which protects against dust cup odours that always come alongside pet hair and dander. Its Clean Sense IQ technology knows when to adjust the power and you won’t have to worry about hair getting trapped and wrapped up in the brush-roll. Meanwhile, 60 minutes of runtime should suit most homes.
