Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet: was $139.99 now $74.99 at AmazonOne of my favorite pre-Black Friday deals is the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet on sale for a record-low price of $74.99. Perfect for watching content or using any number of Amazon's own-brand applications, the Fire HD 10 features a big, bright 10-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM, and an octa-core processor for relatively decent performance (for the money). The tablet also works with Amazon Alexa and provides an impressive 12 hours of battery life.

Ninja Foodi 10-qt 6-in-1 air fryer: was $249.99 now $129.99 at AmazonThe Ninja Foodi air fryer is a Black Friday favorite, and Amazon has the 10-quart appliance on sale for a record-low price. The Ninja Foodi features a large dual-basket air fryer that can quickly prepare multiple foods simultaneously and has six versatile cooking programs.

TCL 75-inch S4 S-Class 4K UHD HDR LED Smart TV: was $649.99 now $499.99 at Best BuyThis TCL S4 Series TV has been a best-seller at holiday sales like Black Friday, and Best Buy has the 75-inch model for $499.99 - an incredible price. You get 4K Ultra HD Resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10, DTS Virtual: X, and the Google TV Smart operating system - all for under $500.

Shark IX141 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $259.99 now $149.99 at AmazonA whopping 42% discount brings Shark's excellent stick vacuum cleaner down to its lowest-ever price in this pre-Black Friday deal. The internal technology is ideally suited for grabbing all that hard-to-get-up pet hair that can ruin a carpet or look unsightly on a hard floor.

Dell XPS 13: was $1,199 now $999 at DellWe've been patiently waiting for a deal this good on the very latest Dell XPS 13 model - the one with the latest Snapdragon X Elite chipset, no less. Alongside the gorgeous lightweight design these machines are known for, this ARM-based processor enables an impressive battery life never before seen on Windows laptops up until this point. Today's $200 discount brings this entry-level 16GB RAM / 512GB storage model right down to a new record-low price, so don't hesitate to pick this one up if you're interested.

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was $329.99 now $199.99 at Best BuyApple's best-selling 10.2 iPad dropped to $199.99 during Prime Day, and Best Buy has brought this excellent deal back ahead of Black Friday. While the tablet is an older model, it still packs a 10.2-inch Retina display, and the A13 Bionic chip ensures excellent picture quality and superior performance. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue, according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review, whether browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games.

iRobot Roomba Combo Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo: was $274.99 now $159.99 at AmazonRobot vacuums are always a popular Black Friday category, and Amazon has this Roomba vacuum/mop combo on sale for an incredible $159.99. The Roomba vacuums and mops in one pass and features a special brush for edge cleaning so dust can't gather. Today's deal is a record-low price, and I can't imagine it will drop further during Black Friday.

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): was $159 now $89 at WalmartApple devices are always popular products during Black Friday, and Walmart has Apple's cheapest AirPods, the AirPods 2, on sale for just $89. That's the best deal you can find right now, only $20 more than the record-low price. This offer is highly recommended if you want new AirPods and don't need noise-canceling technology.

Crest 3D Whitestrips: was $45.99 now $29.99 at AmazonThis is the one item I buy every Black Friday - Crest's 3D Whitestrips. The best-selling teeth whitening strips are rarely on sale, and today's deal brings the price down to just $29.99 - the lowest price ever. You get 48 whitening strips plus a bonus pair of one-hour express strips, so you can have a whiter smile in no time.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: was $429 now $329 at AmazonThese premium Bose headphones offer the best noise cancellation you can buy with rich and energetic sound quality, and they're a fantastic pickup at this record-low price. Our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones review highlighted the only real downside as the below-average battery life (even though it's still a respectable 24-hour), but that's worth living with to get a super-comfortable and top-performing pair of cans.

LG 48-inch Class B4 Series OLED 4K UHD TV: was $1,499.99 now $699.99 at Best BuyThe LG B4 is one of the most affordable OLED TVs on the market, and Best Buy has the 48-inch model on sale for $699.99 - a new record-low price. Its self-lit OLED pixels and Dolby Vision together enhance color and contrast beyond what the average backlit TV can do. Its built-in gaming features and 120Hz refresh rate make it an unbeatable deal for gamers looking for an upgrade. I can't imagine the price dropping further during Best Buy's official Black Friday sale.

Amazon Echo Show 5: was $89.99 now $49.99 at AmazonAmazon has the Echo Show 5 on sale for $49.99 - that's an impressive 44% discount and just $10 more than the record-low price we saw at last year's Black Friday sale. The 2023 Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5-inch display but packs impressive sound with deeper bass and clearer vocals so that you can listen to podcasts, movies, music, and more with the help of Amazon Alexa.

Oral-B iO Deep Clean Electric Toothbrush: was $99.99 now $59.99 at AmazonBlack Friday is one of the best times to find discounts on pricey electric toothbrushes. Amazon currently has the top-rated Oral-B iO deep clean on sale for just $59.99 - the lowest price we've seen this year. The Oral-B iO features a smart sensor that alerts you if you're brushing too hard and features three different cleaning modes.

Apple MacBook Air M2 (2022): was $999 now $699 at AmazonThe excellent MacBook Air M2 is down to a new record-low price at Amazon, and I can't imagine you'll find a better deal during Black Friday. This is easily one of the best laptop deals on the market, considering this model still holds up amazingly well for 2024. You get a great chipset, battery life, and display, and this price also brings it to the usual price for the older M1 model.

Keurig K-Express K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker: was $89.99 now $59.99 at AmazonAnother Black Friday best-seller is Keurig's K-Express coffee maker, on sale for $59.99 - just $10 shy of the record-low. The single-serve coffee maker features a compact design for easy storage and uses K-Cups to brew a fresh, hot cup of coffee in minutes.

Insignia 24-inch F20 Series HD smart TV (2023): was $89.99 now $64.99 at AmazonAmazon's cheapest pre-Black Friday TV deal is this 24-inch Insignia HD smart TV on sale for just $64.99 - a price unheard of. This is a fantastic deal if you're looking to add a smaller display to an extra bedroom, and while the Insignia F20 Series lacks 4K resolution, you're getting the Fire TV experience built-in and an Alexa voice remote.

Black Friday 2024 takes place on Friday, November 29.

Target will launch a three-day Black Friday event starting on November 7.

While Black Friday proper falls on November 29 this year, we should see deals well before that, thanks to a recent trend of retailers launching early sales.

Let’s take a history lesson to find how why they call it Black Friday: the first known mention of Black Friday related to this shopping experience was in November 1951, when the journal Factory Management and Maintenance used it to describe people calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving so they could have an extra day off work.

At the same time, US police were using the phrases “Black Friday” and “Black Saturday” to describe the horrendous traffic that occurred at the beginning of the pre-Christmas shopping season.

In 1961, the local government moved to change the shopping season to “Big Friday” and “Big Saturday,” but it never caught on. The notion that it was the time when retailers moved 'back into the black' was seen far later and clearly an attempt to bring positivity to the term.

I know that many people think Black Friday is a scam, but when you look at a product's price history and compare the deals to other holiday sales, I would say that 90% of products are cheaper on Black Friday.I will have no issue filling this guide with record-low prices on TVs, Apple devices, kitchen appliances, toys, vacuums, laptops, and smart home devices from brands like Samsung, Dyson, Keurig, LG, Apple, Ninja, and Nespresso.That is to say, products are significantly cheaper on Black Friday. The only caveat is that items just aren't cheaper on the official Black Friday date, November 29, but you'll find some of the best Black Friday deals at early sales, and our guide will be covering all the top offers in this guide.
