Black Friday season is here and retailers from Best Buy to Walmart are releasing new Black Friday deals by the hour with massive discounts on OLED TVs, smart home devices and even Apple's new M3 MacBooks.
I've been covering retail holidays for over 15 years and these are some of the best early Black Friday deals I've seen. That's not to say every sale that's live right now is worth your attention, but there are many deals I'd personally recommend. For instance, right now OLED TVs are on sale from $549 at Best Buy. That beats last year's pricing and it's the least-expensive starting price I've ever seen for any OLED TV.
Likewise, Apple's newly-announced M3 MacBook Pros are on sale for $100 off at Best Buy. While this is a members-only deal, it's one of the biggest dollar-off discounts I've seen on a trio of Macs that isn't due to release till November 7.
Meanwhile, Amazon announced this morning that it will officially launch its Black Friday deals on Friday, November 17. That's a full week before the official Black Friday date. Confirmed deals include up to 70% off Amazon devices and bundles, up to 44% off Ninja kitchen appliances and up to 30% off Disney/Marvel toys. That said, there are also some great deals now. For instance, every Fire TV Stick is on sale today.
Below, I'm rounding up the best early Black Friday sales you can shop. I've carefully vetted and selected these deals because they're at their lowest price ever or because I don't foresee them getting significantly cheaper in the weeks to come. So if you want to get your holiday shopping done early — here are the deals I personally recommend.
