Update: Check out our live coverage of Cyber Monday deals for information on the latest sales
I've been covering Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals since 2007. A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains the same: Right now is hands-down the best time of the year to make all of your major purchases.
That said, with so many sales I can see how the retail holiday can be overwhelming, even for the savviest deal hunter. So on this live blog, I'm going to track the best deals that are still around as Black Friday has come to an end and we move into Cyber Monday. I'll be picking out the items I'm most excited about — and my Tom's Guide colleagues are pitching in with their picks too.
Whether it's our favorite TV of 2024 or the best cheap running shoes for your buck, these are the items we're recommending to our friends and family.
As for the deals you can get right now, some serious TV deals remain available. Best Buy has smart TVs on sale from $59. If you're in the market for your first OLED TV, Best Buy is also leading the charge with OLED TVs on sale from $599, which is the lowest price of 2024.
Apple deals have also been hot this Black Friday and one of my favorites has been the AirPods Pro 2 down at their lowest ever price of $154 at Amazon. This deal has some real staying power and is still available as of the weekend. Of course, there's no telling how long it'll last so I recommend grabbing it while you can.
These are just some of the ongoing Black Friday deals that are catching my eyes right now even though the day has finished. So make sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly as we bring you all of the deals that matter.

My Favorite Deals Now
Disney+/Hulu/Max bundle: was $51 now $29 per month @ Disney Plus
Right now, you can get this bundle, including Disney+, Hulu and Max for just $29 per month. That's a $21 or 42% saving over standard. This is the no-ads plan, but you can also get a cheaper plan with adds for $16 per month, down from $29.
Lululemon: apparel from $9 @ Lululemon
Shop Lululemon's 'We Made Too Much' section with apparel and accessories from $9. You'll find headbands, sneakers, t-shirts and more. Also included are the ever-popular Align leggings and Scuba hoodies.
Ninja appliances: deals from $24 @ Walmart
I own a Ninja coffee maker and a Ninja Combi multicooker. Both appliances are easy to use and offer top-notch performance. All this to say that I'm a big Ninja appliance fan and right now Walmart is knocking up to 40% off select Ninja kitchen appliances. The sale includes air fryers, ice cream makers, coffee machines, blenders, and more. After discount, prices start from $24. For instance, you can get the Ninja Creami for $149 (pictured, was $199). We said it's one of the best ice cream makers you can get churning out delicious batches of homemade ice cream.
Galaxy S24 Ultra: up to $800 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung
Samsung's premium phone features a 6.8-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. On the camera front, you get a 200MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 50MP (5x telephoto) and 10MP (3x telephoto). You also get a 12MP front camera. In our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review we said the Editor's Choice phone sets new records in key areas such as battery life (16:45), screen brightness and processing performance. We also like the phone's AI capabilities, which are intuitive to use and can help save you time.
Walmart Plus is a subscription service that offers a variety of perks including unlimited free delivery, fuel discounts at more than 2,000 Walmart/Murphy USA fuel stations, and access to Paramount+. Priced at $49 per year, it's now 50% off and at its lowest price ever.
Hulu w/ ads 1 year: $1 per month @ Hulu
We think Hulu is the ideal streaming service for new TV shows thanks to its expansive TV collection and strong original programming, although there are frequent commercials. Right now, Hulu is offering a 12-month subscription for just 99¢ per month, down from $9.99 per month. That's 90% off and a saving of $108!
REI clearance sale: up to 50% off @ REI
From Patagonia to The North Face, REI is knocking up to 50% off major brands during its latest clearance sale. After discount, prices start as low as $7. It's one of the biggest clearance sales I've seen from REI all year.
Alexa device sale: deals from $17 @ Amazon
It wouldn't be Black Friday without a proper Alexa device sale. Right now, Amazon has multiple Alexa-powered devices on sale from $17. The sale includes Echo speakers, Blink cameras, Fire TV Sticks, and more. Many of Amazon's Echo speakers are Prime Day cheap and include a free smart light bulb.
Gaming PC sale: deals from $699 @ Dell
Some of the best gaming PCs we've reviewed are now on sale during Dell's Black Friday sale. The sale includes laptops, desktops, and monitors on sale from $699. As part of the sale, you can get the Alienware Aurora R16 (pictured) from $1,199. In our Alienware Aurora R16 review, we said the Editor's Choice rig is a gaming powerhouse with powerful components and enhanced cooling technology.
Shark appliances: deals from $49 @ Walmart
Walmart is knocking up to 40% off select Shark appliances. The sale includes robot vacs, blow dryers, handheld vacs, and more. After discount, prices start from $49. For instance, you can get the Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum for $249 (pictured, $50 off). It features LiDAR vision/mapping to accurately clean your entire home.
Phones
iPhone 16: $0.01 w/ Boost Mobile @ Amazon
Top-of-the-line iPhones cost a fortune, but Boost Mobile is running a deal through Amazon where you can get Apple's latest flagship for a penny when you purchase it with a Boost Infinite plan. Boost Infinite is a membership plan for iPhone users. For $65/month, you get unlimited talk, text, and 5G data. Plus, you'll get a free iPhone 16. After 12 consecutive monthly payments, members can upgrade to the latest iPhone model at no extra cost. There is no trade-in requirement to join, which means you can keep your current iPhone or sell it to a third party. If you'd prefer a Pro device, Amazon/Boost has had the same deal for the iPhone 16 Pro, though that model is listed as out of stock at the moment.
Galaxy sale: up to $1,500 off @ Samsung
Samsung is having a huge sale on its entire Galaxy line. For instance, you can get up to $750 off its Galaxy S24 Ultra with trade-in or $200 off with no trade. You can also save up to $800 on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 or up to $1,500 off the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with trade-in.
iPhone 16 Pro Max: get a $250 gift card @ Visible
Visible is giving you a $250 gift card when you buy the iPhone 16 Pro Max. That could be spent on paying for an entire year's worth of unlimited service if you opt to pay annually, which would be $275. Meaning, this deal practically makes it only $25 out of your pocket to have service.
iPhone 16 Pro: free Apple Watch + iPad w/ unlimited @ Verizon
Get up to two extra devices with your new iPhone with this deal. Just make sure to click the "Show me options for this offer next" checkbox before moving on from the first page. You can pick from an 10th-gen iPad, Apple Watch Series 10 or Apple Watch SE 2nd gen, although be aware that these are all cellular models, and can only be bought with their own unlimited data contracts.
The best cheap phone is getting a much deserving discount for Black Friday. Best Buy has the charming unlocked version of the Pixel 8a for as low as $299 when you choose the option to connect it to a wireless carrier. That's almost half off the Pixel 8a's price, making it hard to pass up on.
