In addition to steep discounts on tech, Best Buy has kitchen deals, toy deals, and home deals, with some starting today, and many extending through Monday, November 28. Check back often for more great deals as we draw closer to Black Friday, and don’t forget to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage.
Note: We’re done updating this post, but you can keep shopping the deals below all weekend. These deals might change or prices might fluctuate during that time, though, so keep that in mind. We’ll be back on Monday with updates and new deals.
Apple’s latest generation of AirPods Pro is one of our favorite wireless earbuds and features better noise cancellation and audio transparency, plus a new speaker in the case that makes it easier to hunt down when they’ve gone missing. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on these earbuds, so act fast.

Google’s pro-level earbuds are down to the lowest price we’ve seen right now, too. They feature impressive battery life, multi-device pairing, noise cancellation, and transparency mode, and they work great with Samsung or Apple devices, too.
If you want a good pair of wireless earbuds to go with your Android phone, get Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2, which Verge editor and reviewer Chris Welch says nail the basics with style. They feature a compact and sleek design, solid sound quality, and active noise cancellation.
Our favorite wireless earbuds for noise cancellation are down to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen.
Logitech’s portable, durable speaker (a Strategist favorite) is available in a two-pack, so you can pair them together for a stereo experience without all the cables. They are compact enough to bring along to a get-together, can float in water, and are waterproof enough to use in the shower.
Our favorite Bluetooth speaker with wireless charging is down to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen all year. “The Roam was among the most crisp-sounding portable speakers I’ve tested,” writes former Strategist writer Jordan Bowman, who also noted the Roam’s ability to charge with a Qi wireless charger, as well as connect with any other speaker in Sonos’ ecosystem.
Our favorite wireless headphones are down to one of their lowest prices, and we think they’re well worth it. “The XM4s are some of the best sounding noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever tried,” Bowman says.
Great as two-in-one computers like the Surface Pro are, they still can’t match the specs of a well-built gaming laptop when it’s time to play. Often, a quality gaming laptop will run you well over $1,000, but HP’s Victus with Intel’s i7 processor manages to pack plenty of torque into a relatively low-budget package. Although Monica Chin, a reviewer at the Verge, says there are better laptops to be found for a little extra cash, it’s worth considering the Victus if you can snag it on sale.
$1,000
If you’re cool with skipping the latest-generation processor, Apple’s M1 MacBook Air still packs plenty of power (and all-day battery life) for most-use cases, like getting through a day’s worth of working on Microsoft Office or Google Docs while keeping Slack open.
$1,600
Need a laptop that can transform into a tablet in a pinch? Microsoft’s Surface Pro 9 is a snappy computer with a built-in kickstand for multiple viewing angles, stylus support for illustration and note-taking, and an eye-catching design that won’t leave your eyes wandering after a year or two. “While the detachable form factor is becoming more common across the laptop space, there are still few convertible models as tried and true as the Surface,” says Monica Chin, a writer at the Verge, “and fewer still with an accessory ecosystem as excellent as the one Microsoft provides. ”
Tired of having to get up every time the house gets a little too warm? A smart thermostat can help by letting you change the temperature with just a few taps in your smart-home app of choice or a quick bark at your voice assistant. It can also program itself based on parameters you set and your daily schedule, so you don’t have to do too much manual adjusting if you don’t want. It’s at one of the lowest prices we’ve seen right now, so grab it while you can.
Our pick for the best self-emptying robot vacuum for pets, the Roomba i7+ is at one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen right now. The i7+ even pairs with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can start a cleaning sesh without needing to leave your desk.
It’s not as good a smart display as something like the Google Nest Hub, but Lenovo’s Smart Clock, which supports Google Assistant, has a built-in wireless charger so you can plop your phone down at night without having to fumble for your charging cable.
Black Friday can be a great time to snag a new TV if you find the right deal. LG’s C2 TV provides excellent contrast and black levels as well as fast performance, and Welch says it may be the best gaming TV you can buy, thanks to four HDMI ports that all support up to a 120Hz refresh rate and nifty software that triggers anytime the TV detects a gaming-console connection.
com/strategist/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/clallyyz9004l3b6ujuc4ymos@published” data-word-count=”61″>Most newer TVs let you stream directly without any additional gear, but it’s usually beneficial to snag a dedicated streamer instead. Google’s latest Chromecast comes in 1080p and 4K variants, both of which are affordable ways to give your TV access to any streaming service you’d like. I also think it’s one of the best tech gifts to get this year.Our best overall sound bar, which comes recommended by several experts, is down to one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. It sounds great on its own, but you can build your audio rig over time, since the Arc pairs with Sonos’ other products as well.
This excellent countertop oven, which can do everything from baking a pizza to heating up leftovers without leaving them soggy, is down to the lowest price we’ve seen.
If you don’t need all the digital controls, Cuisinart’s air fryer can handle everything from frozen fries to a quick bagel in the morning before heading to work.
Breville makes some of our favorite kitchen appliances, and the brand’s smallest toaster oven is no exception. It’s perfect for tiny kitchens but can still comfortably fit four slices of toast.
If you want a mug that’ll keep your coffee warm even when you forget it’s there, we recommend the Ember mug. Right now, it’s discounted to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen.
If you’ve been waiting to nab one of the most powerful stick vacuums available, now’s your chance. Dyson’s top-of-the-line V15 is at the lowest price we’ve seen. Strategist senior editor Winnie Yang is a fan: “It has a laser sighting head, which helps illuminate all the dust on hard surfaces and makes it easy to see spots you’ve missed,” she says. “It also senses when there’s more dirt and automatically adjusts suction.” You’ll also get a bunch of different attachments, like a soft dusting brush and a crevice tool to vacuum those hard-to-reach spots.
$1,250
Need a new washer to keep your clothes clean without leaving the house? This washer from LG is discounted 32 percent right now.
If you don’t need top-of-the-line 4K gameplay, the Xbox Series S is a powerful console capable of playing the latest-generation games at a 1080p resolution. It’s down to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year, and it’s a great gift for the gamer in your life.
Nintendo games rarely go on sale, but right now, one of the Switch’s best games is down to the lowest price we’ve seen. If it’s still in your gaming backlog, now’s the chance to grab it.
Apple’s tiniest iPad is down to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen right now, and it’s well worth the splurge if you need a small tablet for taking notes or reading when you’re away from your desk.
$1,100
Apple’s larger-screened M1 iPad Pro is perfect for note-taking and anything from a quick doodle to an in-depth illustration. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this tablet.
If you need a stylus to go with your new iPad, or you’re looking for a good stocking stuffer for the techie in your life, I recommend Apple’s second-generation Pencil. Right now, it’s down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
If you need a case that’ll turn your iPad into a laptop, we recommend Apple’s Magic Keyboard. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s still a better discount than you can usually get on otherwise pricey gear.
If you’ve got the larger iPad Pro, that Magic Keyboard is discounted right now, too. Given its typically steep price, this is a good deal.
The Kindle Paperwhite is one of my favorite gifts to give to the readers in my life, and right now it’s down to one of the lowest prices we’ve seen since the latest model got a hefty price upgrade.
Samsung’s latest smart watch is down to its lowest price yet, and it’s a great option for anyone with an Android device. Unlike the regular Watch5, it has a rotating physical bezel that makes interacting with the software easier and more fun, and it has a good deal of health and fitness tracking for you to keep an eye on.
New Apple products rarely go on sale, but right now Apple’s new rugged smartwatch is discounted by just enough to buy yourself an extra watch band or download a few fancy fitness apps to try out.

Our best overall baby monitor is down to one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. This over-the-crib monitor is perfect for parents who want to keep a close eye on every bit of data they can get their hands on.
The updated version of our favorite wearable breast pump for usability is down to nearly the lowest price we’ve seen all year. “Once I got the hang of it, the Willow yielded the most milk for me in the shortest amount of time,” writes Strategist contributor Sara Gaynes Levy.

Best Buy Black Friday in July sale announced
Just after seeing Amazon announce its Prime Day festivities, Best Buy is stealing back the spotlight to announce its own summer savings event. The upcoming Black Friday in July sale will usher in a collection of discounts across every tech category from Best Buy.
Best Buy matches Prime Day with its own summer sale!
Not to let Amazon have all the fun, Best Buy is taking today as a chance to announce its own sale. Offering chances to save on all of the latest tech from Apple, Samsung, Google, Sony, and other top brands, many of the offers will be available for everyone, though there’s of course going to be the deeper discounts that Best Buy locks behind its Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total memberships.
Keeping pace with Prime Day 2023, the upcoming Black Friday in July savings event will run from July 10 through the 12. It’ll start a day earlier than Amazon’s event, and should be matching many of the offers we’ll see throughout the 48-hour sale.
Here’s what we can share so far:
- Best Buy will hold its annual Black Friday in July savings event from July 10-12, where customers can get hundreds of deals on a variety of tech, from TVs and laptops, headphones and smartwatches, to electric transportation and more.
Offers will be available in-store, online, and through our Best Buy app.
- My Best Buy Plus™ and My Best Buy Total™ members will get access to exclusive offers and deeper discounts on select products during the Black Friday in July savings event. They will also receive free two-day shipping with no minimum purchase, which is included in their membership benefits.
Today’s news comes just after Best Buy made some adjustments to its membership program. Back in May, the retailer brought free shipping to anyone who signed up for its free accounts. That was alongside the announcement of the new Best Buy Total membership and everything else we recapped in our previous coverage.
All that’s left now is to see Walmart announce a savings event of its own. It’s really only a matter of time at this point until we see some form of sale exclusive to Walmart+ members announced for that same week, like we’ve seen in years’ past.

How not to be left without money on Black Friday?
Black Friday is a profitable business, but only if you approach it wisely. Time Out, together with Moscow Business School experts, tells how to prepare for the global sale on November 23 and what purchases it is better to refrain from.
Electronics and household appliances
According to Hi-Tech.Mail.Ru statistics, sellers of household appliances and electronics often cheat with discounts. A few days before Black Friday, they deliberately inflate prices in order to then solemnly drop them to the market average. Sometimes a product on Black Friday is more expensive than on ordinary days. So look carefully at the price tags before grabbing a coffee machine at a discount 90%.
Latest Gadgets
Checked: there are almost no real discounts on top models. On Black Friday, sellers try to sell stale goods as soon as possible. Therefore, stores offering flagship smartphones at low prices should be avoided. There is a chance to run into scammers.
Fashion clothes and shoes
Do you remember the crowded stores on Black Friday? It is not surprising that dirty and torn things, clothes with torn off buttons and torn zippers can be on the shelves. Look carefully before you buy something.
When buying clothes online, you run the risk of buying Chinese fakes instead of branded items. Alas, scammers also love sales and make fake websites specifically for them.
Do not buy children’s things “for growth”. Children grow up quickly, and it may turn out that what you buy for the summer will be hopelessly small in the spring. So it’s better to take what the child will wear right now.
Cosmetics and care products
The main thing to remember is that they often try to sell stale goods at a sale. Carefully check the expiration dates on the packages. Perhaps they are already coming to an end. It will be a shame to buy an expensive product that will have to be thrown away in a couple of months.
Black Friday is a profitable business, but only if you approach it wisely. Time Out, together with Moscow Business School experts, tells how to prepare for the global sale on November 23 and what purchases it is better to refrain from.
Random purchases
The biggest nightmare of any sale is the excitement that drives us to make random purchases. Grab the 20th dog costume, Chinese izibousts or a sparkling clutch invitingly from the shelves. When the hype subsides, all these things will go to Avito or to the trash, and you will have to count the days left until your salary. The same applies to things that are bought in the hope of losing weight or pumping up for the summer. Alas, in most cases they will remain gathering dust in the closet.
Black Friday is a profitable business, but only if you approach it wisely. Time Out, together with Moscow Business School experts, tells how to prepare for the global sale on November 23 and what purchases it is better to refrain from.
How to prepare for Black Friday:
- Make a shopping list in advance and beat the average market price online to avoid fake discounts
- Check the address of the site where you are going to place an order.
Sometimes scammers disguise themselves as the official website, and only a couple of letters differ in the address
- Look at the terms of exchange, return and delivery. Many companies refuse to exchange goods bought on sale
- If you are determined to buy something, try to be in time for the start of the sale. So there are more chances to get on the most favorable conditions
- If you are not sure about the purchase, do not rush. Cyber Monday, New Year and Christmas sales await us
Happy shopping!

7 Tips for Launching Black Friday Campaigns – ppc.world
Black Friday is coming – the time when people shop for the upcoming holidays, including online, and advertisers, trying to get the most out of it, launch promotions and sales , place a lot of advertising and create informational noise. We have collected tips from foreign authors that will help you stand out from other competitors on Black Friday and create an attractive and effective advertising campaign.
Tip 1. Prepare ahead of time
In order for users to order from you, give them time to get to know your offers. Do not pull to the last minute, but about a week and a half before the start of active sales, run a teaser campaign.
Be sure to retarget those who have already made purchases from you in the last 180 days. This will allow you to reactivate the old audience, and users to learn about your conditions and holiday promotions.
Tip 2: Combine Online and Offline Marketing Strategies
If you have offline sales points, you have probably prepared a Black Friday marketing campaign. Use the elements of this campaign for your online strategy as well: similar images, colors, calls to action, etc. A potential client is more likely to recognize the brand on the Internet and be interested in the ad if they have already seen its offline ad.
Tip 3: Increase your ad spend and optimize your ads
With increasing competition, bids matter a lot. In order for users to see your ad, you need to think carefully about your strategy and be willing to pay more for ads.
A logical question arises: how much should you pay for advertising in this case? There is no universal answer to this question, it all depends on the capabilities of the advertiser. According to statistics, there is a tendency to increase spending by 30-50% during hot periods to keep advertising competitive, and highly competitive topics will require even more spending.
Tip 4. Don’t forget to update your ads
Bright and attractive creative is one of the components of a successful campaign. A well-formulated commercial offer and correctly configured targeting are also important. Focus on millennials, as Black Friday is a recent promotion in Russia, and the young audience is greedy for Western novelties. Also keep in mind that younger audiences tend to shop on mobile, so adapt your ads and landing pages for smartphones if you haven’t already.
When it comes to being creative, you don’t have to create something completely new. You can take old ads as a basis. For example, if you already ran Black Friday campaigns last year, select the ads that performed the best and tweak them a bit. You can add themed stickers, information about promotions and discounts in honor of Black Friday.
Use the carousel or collection formats to profitably present the products of online stores in social networks. This way you can show several offers at once in one ad. To learn more about these formats and learn how to work with them correctly, read our articles:
-
A Quick Guide to Facebook Ad Formats
-
Targeted advertising on VKontakte: overview of formats
-
Eight Inspiring Examples of Carousel Ads
-
Useful tools for advertising online stores on Instagram
Indicate the client’s benefit not only in the ad text, but also on the creative itself by adding the inscriptions Sale, “promotion”, “discounts”, “-60%”, etc. By the way, Facebook has added special stickers to its graphics editor .
The best thing to do is to test a few ads and see what worked best, given time and budget.
For testing on Facebook, you can use Dynamic Creatives, an Ads Manager tool that automatically detects and displays the most effective ad combinations. You can learn more about it in Facebook Help.
Tip 5. Keep your ads up to date and relevant
A relevant ad is more likely to be shown to an interested audience and receive clicks from it. If you are promoting products in several categories at once, create different ads for them and choose the appropriate targeting, add a reliable product description and direct the user to a relevant landing page.
And do not forget about the relevance of ads: do not advertise products that are not in stock. If a user clicks on an ad and finds out that the product cannot be purchased, you will lose not only money, but also a potential customer.
Tip 6. Automate
Black Friday is a busy period, and you will hardly have time to constantly monitor ads and update bids manually. Do not complicate your task and automate this process. Facebook has automatic rules for this. The same rules and intelligent bidding strategies can be found in Google Ads; for advertising in Direct, you can use bid managers or automatic strategies. Automation using the above tools will allow you to save time on bid adjustments during a period of high customer activity.
Tip 7. Bring customers back to the New Year season
People who made purchases on Black Friday are more likely to want to buy again during the New Year holidays, your task is to motivate them to return to you. Retarget the users most active during Black Friday: those who viewed, selected, left in the cart and bought, and launch the campaign in about a week, as the American retailer Target did.
The store’s marketers attracted users with Black Friday ads, and launched a Christmas sale ad that same month.
