Black Friday is around the corner. Here's your shopping strategy to get all the goodies for less.(Yahoo)
[Editor’s note: We’re updating our coverage daily, so check out today’s best Black Friday deals here! The original story is below.]
Black Friday might have started out as a one-day opportunity to snag some of the best deals of the year, but ah, how things have changed! While we officially have two days to go, many retailers have already started rolling out markdowns galore, from Adidas to Wayfair and everyone in between (Target, Kohl's, Macy's, Lowe's, Walmart — you get the idea). Plus, we're seeing a ton of all-time low prices, many that even rival Prime Day, so you'll want to have your virtual cart ready to go.
These big sales events can be overwhelming, but that's what we're here for. As professional shoppers, we know how to find the very best Black Friday deals, and we've weeded through the good, the meh and the "don't even think about it" so you don't have to. A few must-haves we're seeing? A No. 1 bestselling Roomba robovac for 40% off (just $159), essential 2nd generation AirPods for a mere $80 and so much more. There's no telling how long these deals will last, so our advice? Snag 'em before the pumpkin pie is even out of the oven!
Have a holiday gift list a mile long? If you'd like to check items off as quickly as possible — while saving money — there are several retailers we consider one-stop-shops that are sure to have everything you're looking for, and at great prices. Amazon's the biggie (especially if you're a Prime member!), but Kohl's, Macy's, Target and Walmart are offering competitive deals themselves. And, while these major retailers can't be beat when it comes to cost and convenience, it's also great to support your local small businesses when you can!
Amazon: Everyone's favorite online retailer kicked off their extended Black Friday sale on November 17th, and, as always, their deals do not disappoint. From $80 AirPods to a No. 1 bestselling Roomba ($159, down from $275) to a popular pillow set (just $13 a pop), you'll find some of the best prices we've seen to date, along with mega markdowns on clothing, beauty, kitchen products and more.

Walmart: We love Walmart for its low prices all year long, but throw a Black Friday sale into the mix? Heck yes. We're seeing a KitchenAid stand mixer for the best price online, along with a Shark vacuum and stunning air fryer by the one and only Drew Barrymore priced even less than they are at Amazon. You can even get your hands on an all-in-one printer for nearly 50% off. (Psst: Walmart's Black Friday deals officially drop online on November 22nd at 3 pm ET, but you can score plenty of discounts already!)
With the weather turning colder, a whole new lineup of Christmas movies on the horizon and winter sports season just around the corner, it's prime time to snatch up a brand-new TV to bring your living room together.

If you've had a Dyson vacuum on your wishlist for a while, make your move while it's 30% off. This is the lowest price we've seen so far.
The V8 is engineered to tackle everyday messes on both carpets and hard floors. It easily converts to a handheld to clean your car, stairs and upholstery. Have pets?

Take that, allergy season!
Finding a bra that's comfortable, supportive, offers full coverage and doesn't look like it was made during colonial times is a pretty impressive feat — but we think we've done it. This Playtex wireless bra has tens of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to its cooling, moisture-wicking fabric, four-way wireless support (no painful digging!), Magic Ring construction for a natural lift and smoothing satin panels on the sides and back. With 14 lovely colors to choose from, it's a really pretty undergarment too! A good bra is a worthy investment, and $13 is practically unheard of these days. This one rarely goes on sale for less than its current price, and we've seen it priced for over $20 before. (Honestly, that's still a good deal.)
"This bra says 18 hours and completely lives up to that promise," raved a happy fan. "It fits perfectly when you measure for the proper fit; it is soft, not scratchy, and does not cut into my shoulders to provide support for my large chest. I am absolutely getting more!"

Exceptionally soft fabric? Check. Cool to the touch? Check. A 60% discount? Check!

Plus, these sheets are pill- and snag-resistant, Oeko-Tex-certified and hypoallergenic.
"I was pleasantly surprised at how light and soft the sheets are while being very well made. They have held up well in the washer and dryer. The best part for me is that they truly have deep pockets and fit our 16-inch mattress very easily," said a thrilled shopper.
We talk a lot about 4K resolution, but what that really means is that you get more than 8 million pixels to recreate any image with stunning clarity and color.

This is also one of the lowest price it has ever been on sale for, so don't miss this chance to snatch up a slightly older — but still incredible — laptop!
"Great commuter laptop that's perfect for students," one fan said. "I bought the 2020 M1 MacBook this year to work on my assignments on the fly. This thing is great — its lightweight, small, and most importantly, has amazing battery life. To be more specific, I’ve gotten about 20 hours of light use on one charge alone."

The a.m. "grind" doesn't have to be taken so literally, as in, having to grind your own coffee beans. Mornings are hectic enough as it is!

Simply fill the reservoir with water, pop in the K-Cup of your choice, select the size of your cup and — presto — java will appear in your mug in under a minute. True to its name, this slim model also won't take up much counter space. We've yet to see this model dip below $50, and if you're someone who enjoys a hot bev (or two) on a daily basis, it'll pay for itself with all the time it'll save you. We recommend snagging it while it's 50% off!
The fact that this No. 1 bestseller acts as both a blender and food processor is enough to catch our attention — but knowing it's currently down to its best price of the year? That puts it over the top.

At just 3.2 pounds, this lightweight stick vac is mightier than it appears. It transforms into a handheld and comes with multiple attachments to tackle messes in practically every part of your home.

Your stained carpets and upholstery are no match for Bissell's Little Green Machine, according to Yahoo home and garden writer Kristin Granero. You can use it on rugs, couches, mattresses and more to bring things back to that fresh-from-the-factory feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.
I have one of these, and I use it almost weekly on pet stains, food spills and more. Recently, my partner violently sneezed while drinking a glass of red wine on our white couch (true story), but the Little Green Machine got it all out (lucky for him). Get it now while it's on sale, whether you have pets or just live with some clumsy people.
"The muck and mystery liquid it pulled from my car carpet was disgusting and oddly satisfying," said one Amazon reviewer. "Went to show my mother and did a spot in my sister's room and listen, her floor hasn't seen [this] color white in years!"

Sure, it's still a splurge — but if you've got the space and the vision, it's the last piece in the puzzle of a true home theater. With HDR+ resolution, it turns every family movie night into a magical, memorable evening.
This ultra-thin, ultra-light laptop is ideal for someone who needs easy access to the web on the go. What it lacks in power it more than makes up for with convenience, but it still comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, as well as a one-year subscription to Office 365 — a $100 value on its own. While this isn't quite the lowest price on record, it's close to it. Where else will you find a laptop for $150?
The always-popular Sgin is a budget-focused brand that brings a lot of savings to the table, especially when you consider that this guy is nearly 80% off. That's a fantastic deal worth having another can of cranberry sauce over, especially when you consider that it also comes with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It might not be the best choice for gaming, but it's great for everyday use and low-level productivity. Don't get us wrong, though! You can play games like League of Legends just fine, but don't expect to max out Starfield.
"We bought this laptop for our daughter starting high school. It works great. The touch pad is a bit sensitive. The setup is straightforward and very fast, especially when you set up using a Windows account. The computer has a nice sleek look that kind of reminds me of a Mac," one reviewer said.
Whether you're planning to do a lot of traveling or you just want a way to cut out the noise at home, nothing beats noise-cancelling headphones — especially when they're on sale for over 50% off!

This convertible laptop easily swaps between laptop mode and tablet mode. It also comes with 4GB of RAm and 128GB of onboard storage, making it a fantastic option for a day-to-day productivity and entertainment machine. While $310 isn't the lowest price we've ever seen it, it's still a darn good deal — and it's close to the cheapest it has ever been.
This powerhouse of a laptop is a video and image editor's dream. With an RTX 4060, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, it can handle high-end tasks with ease. To put it in perspective, this is often heralded as a Macbook Pro competitor. It normally sells for $1,600, but you can pick one up for just $1,100 right now — the lowest price on record for this particular model.

The 2022 Black Friday shopping weekend was the "biggest ever" for major retailers "with customers around the world purchasing hundreds of millions of products between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday," Maryland-based e-commerce expert Phil Masiello, told Yahoo Life. And this year, Black Friday is expected to break even more records. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Do your research: Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst with DealNews.com, advises to make a list of items that you're interested in buying, then note their current prices at the retailers you like to shop. That way, you’ll be able to spot a great Black Friday deal as soon as you see it. “The most important thing is to know exactly what you want. What specs you want in a TV or laptop and which headphones you want,” says Kristin McGrath, shopping expert with RetailMeNot. “Consumers shouldn’t assume that just because a product is discounted it’s the best price out there. I recommend checking for the product on one to two other retailers to compare the regular price with a potential 'sale' price to ensure you’re actually getting the best deal,” echoes Kristen Gall, retail and shopping expert for Rakuten.
Stay on top of the ads: Pay attention as Black Friday ads come out, says Ramhold. “It may be helpful to follow your favorite retailers on social media and sign up for their email newsletters as well, since they may announce the ad release that way as well as other important details, like when the sales will begin.” Gall calls the ads “your Black Friday road map for deals.”
Check out holiday price guarantees: Have a few favorite retailers? “Check to see if they're offering any kind of price match or guarantee for Black Friday,” advises Ramhold. The idea is that you’ll know if you can request your preferred retailer match the price of a competitor during a Black Friday event, or if you'll have to shop the competitor instead. “And if there's a price guarantee in place, it's good to know that if you buy something early on and it later drops in price, you'll be able to receive a price adjustment for the difference.”
Try to get cash back: “In addition to doing a price comparison, you can ensure you are getting the absolute best price by stacking deals to maximize savings,” says Gall. “Cash-back services like Rakuten allow you to earn cash back on top of sale prices. For extra savings, plan to apply promo codes or digital coupons, and use a rewards credit card to extra earn points or cash back.”
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty: Gall believes that retailers’ overstock categories will be the biggest predictor of Black Friday gold. That includes “home goods, gardening and furniture that they may have not gotten rid of during Labor Day weekend sales,” she says.
But she notes that Black Friday will also focus on “bigger ticket items, such as tech, including laptops, TVs and more.” And that seems to be the general consensus: McGrath, Masiello and Ramhold agree that sales on personal tech items will be the bread and butter of Black Friday 2023. Here are some of the favorites in this race:
Laptops: Ramhold calls these “one of the quintessential Black Friday items” and says to “watch for prices to drop as low as $90 for things like simple Chromebooks while laptops, in general, could be priced as low as $229 or see discounts up to $800 off.”
Smartphones: Ramhold predicts major retailers will offer the latest Android smartphones and iPhones bundled with gift cards worth hundreds, “which can be used on later purchases and boost the value of these deals.”
TVs: McGrath says to look to the major retailers and study their Black Friday ads so you can pounce on the TV you want before it’s gone. “Stock sells out quickly on the best-priced sets, and there are always a few headline-making deals that get a ton of hype and sell out in minutes,” she says. “Zero in on the 4K TV you want, have some backups and get ready to shop as soon as the Black Friday sale kicks off.”
Cameras: Expect deals on everything from Instax cameras to DSLRs, says Ramhold.
Apple products: Look out for great deals on AirPods, especially AirPods Pro, which are “still immensely popular, and retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Target and Best Buy will likely offer the lowest price of the year," says McGrath. She also recommends getting ready to pounce on a new Apple Watch Series 9.
Toys: Historically, the best toy sales happen in December, says Ramhold, but “Black Friday toy deals should be pretty big.” She says to expect up to 85% off at major stores.
Kitchen appliances: McGrath says KitchenAid mixers are the products to watch. These are expensive, and Black Friday deals knock the price down to almost affordable for many shoppers. But last year we saw deals on KitchenAid stand mixers sell out quickly, so be ready to jump on a good deal if you see it.
Officially, Black Friday 2023 starts on Friday, Nov. 24, but many retailers – including Amazon — have launched their Black Friday sales already. Because of this, many people are starting to refer to the entire month as "Black November."

You'll be able to find the same deals online and in-store at most retailers, though it's always wise to check the retailer's website first, in case it's a web-exclusive deal. Many times, retailers will match their online prices in-store if they're cheaper, so it's always worth asking.
