Yes, the turkey might not be in the oven just yet, but that’s no reason to avoid making your Black Friday purchase plans.
The retail-palooza is more of a multi-weeks event this year, with Amazon and other retailers having begun offering deep discounts in early October—and today, the online retail giant dropped even more early deals on devices. But whether you’re planning to hit the stores early (or, more likely perhaps, grab your phone and take advantage of one-day deals without having to face the crowds), it helps to know what you want.
A list is essential for serious early holiday shoppers. You need to know exactly what you’re looking for—and where to find the best deal—since Black Friday is not a day to leisurely browse for gifts. Get in. Get what you want. Get out. And get on to the next store or deal. They go fast.
As you put that list together, here are some of the better bargains we’ve seen for consumer technology items. Some are available now. Others won’t be until Black Friday proper. (Prices have been rounded up to the nearest dollar.)
