Best Buy Black Friday Early Access sale is live — 17 deals I recommend now
Don't wait till November! Save big on Apple, OLED TVs, more
Halloween is right around the corner and Best Buy is kicking off the weekend with a bag full of treats. Today (October 27) marks the start of the Best Buy Black Friday Early Access Sale. The three-day sale is for My Best Buy Plus ($49/year) and My Best Buy Total ($179/year) members only.
My Best Buy is the retailer's answer to Amazon Prime and Walmart Plus. Although there's a free tier that scores you free shipping, this weekend's Early Access Sale is for paying members only. Best Buy is one of my go-to retailers for deals. I've purchased many items at Best Buy including my iPad mini, smart TV, and iMac.
One of the best deals this morning is the LG 48-inch A2 4K OLED TV on sale for $549. That's cheaper than last Black Friday's price and the least-expensive OLED TV I've ever seen. Remember, this is a members-only deal (look for the "my Best Buy" savings tab below the regular sale price).
Below I'm rounding up the best deals in Best Buy's weekend sale. These deals are for members only, but if I find them on sale at a competing retailer, I'll be sure to call that out. For more sales, check out our early Black Friday deals guide and our roundup of this week's top Best Buy coupon codes.

Keurig K-Elite: was $189 now $119 @ Best Buy
The Keurig K-Elite ranks as one of the best Keurig coffee makers we've tested. It features a "strong" brew function which can be found on certain Keurig models to provide a more concentrated flavor. Plus, it's super quick when brewing, and can cater to 5 cup sizes. This is the cheapest it's ever been, reaching the same discount only back in 2020. Read our full Keurig K-Elite review for our full thoughts on this machine.

LG A2 48" 4K OLED TV: was $1,299 now $549 @ Best Buy
Lowest price! The A2 is LG's entry-level OLED for 2022. In our LG A2 OLED review, we said it offers a wonderfully colorful picture and fairly strong audio. It offers Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, LG's webOS platform, and built-in Google Assistant/Amazon Alexa. Console gamers take note: It's a budget model, so you only get a 60Hz panel and three HDMI ports, with no HDMI 2.1 support. Otherwise, it's great for casual gaming and streaming. The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive. It sold for $569 last Black Friday, which makes today's price the lowest for any OLED TV.

MacBook Air 13 (M1/256GB): was $999 now $749 @ Best Buy
It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed. Note: It's sold for $749 before, so we recommend waiting for a lower price if you're not in a rush to buy.

LG 86" 4K TV: was $1,249 now $799 @ Best Buy
At 86 inches corner-to-corner and nearly 100 pounds, this 4K LED TV is definitely a centerpiece for your living room. It doesn't have the screen tech to outperform the latest OLED TVs, but it does support HDR10 and LG's Active HDR mode that takes SDR colors and upscales them. It also comes with LG's WebOS smart platform that has generally been one of the best for the last few years. This is an epic deal at this price point.
