I've been covering Black Friday deals for 15 years — 55 best sales I found
These Black Friday deals are worth buying now
The best deals of 2023 are — for the most part — all live right now. I should know because I've been covering Black Friday for 15 years now. Although there are a lot of retail holidays throughout the year, none of them match the sales you see on Black Friday. That's why I do most of my personal shopping during the Black Friday season.
There are over 100 Black Friday deals that I recommend right now, but on this page I'm listing the best of the best. These are deals I don't think will get significantly cheaper in the days to come, along with deals that will likely expire very fast.
I've carefully vetted and price checked all of the deals below, so you know you're getting the best price possible. In many instances, I'm recommending deals on items that the Tom's Guide team has reviewed, whether it's a comfy bed or the best budget TV. I'll also make a few personal recommendations based on devices I personally own or buy. So if you want to get your holiday shopping done early — here are the deals I recommend shopping now. Also, make sure to check out our Amazon Black Friday live blog, Best Buy Black Friday sales guide and how to use Black Friday coupons to save money.

Patagonia Reversible Shelled Microdini Jacket: was $199 now $98 @ Patagonia
This is an absolute steal for this versatile, comfy jacket. You get soft, warm fleece on the inside and weather-resistant ripstop nylon on the outside. Or you can flip it around and reverse it, Missy Elliott style, and rock it with the swaggy fleece side out. Whichever way you go, this is a great-looking jacket you'll no doubt find yourself wearing all autumn long. It's just that comfy.
Brooks Run Visible Convertible Jacket: was $180 now $125 @ REI
Editor recommended! I hate running outdoors during the winter. However, our fitness editor Jane McGuire recommends this jacket because it's water resistant, keeps you warm, has a large hood, and it's super reflective. It's currently 30% off in the REI Black Friday sale, discounted to $125. At the time of writing, it's still available in sizes XS-XL in the women’s jacket. It’s also available in the men's version of the jacket for the same price. I can't guarantee this deal will be around for long, so grab it while you can.
Patagonia Down Sweater Vest: was $229 now $171 @ REI
For those who prefer to go sleeveless, this is the same garment as the Patagonia Down Sweater ($208) sans the sleeves. Best of all, most sizes are still available as of this writing. And the Wax Red color is nothing short of sharp. Just be aware that wearing this jacket in certain (Manhattan) neighborhoods may result in you being recruited into a career in high finance.
Arc'teryx Gamma: was $220 now $154 @ REI
Ok, I admit, the the Phenom color (pictured) is a tad loud, but that's what makes it a great option for cold-weather running when daylight is a precious and often absent commodity. Made from recycled materials, the Gamma provides a solid degree of wind, water and sun protection while remaining nice and breathable. The material is also comfortable and flexible enough to be worn while hiking, climbing, cycling and more.
Lululemon Wunder Puff: was $298 now $169 @ lululemon
Act fast! The Wunder Puff jacket is discounted in the standard length, which sits just below the hips. The jacket has a relaxed fit, and a cinchable waist to customize the fit. There are only a few colors in the sale right now, but most are still available in various sizes. Don’t delay, this is a deal worth shopping!
The North Face (women's) Higher Run jacket: was $180 now $53 @ REI
Save a seriously cool 70% on the popular Higher Run jacket which provides year-long protection for running in whatever weather. The waterproof and breathable design features a seam-sealed DryVent 2.5-layer shell and non-PFC durable water-repellent finish, a chin zip guard and integrated thumbholes to keep the jacket secure as you run, walk or hike. Seriously lightweight and water-repellent, I wouldn't miss out on this limited-time deal.
Brooks Dash 1/2 Zip 2.0: was $69 now $52 @ Amazon
Ideal for those cold outdoor runs, the Brooks Dash 1/2 Zip 2.0 is is made of DriLayer fabric, which wicks sweat away to keep you comfortable and dry.

Editor's Choice! The A2 is LG's entry-level OLED. 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's the least-expensive OLED TV I've ever seen.
Amazon 65" Omni 4K QLED TV: was $799 now $589 @ Amazon
Released in October, Amazon's new Omni 4K QLED Fire TV is on sale.

In our Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review, we said the TV is a solid pick for anyone who wants to stick within Amazon’s ecosystem. It features, HDR10/HLG/HDR10+ Adaptive/Dolby Vision IQ support, full array local dimming, and four HDMI ports (one HDMI 2.1 with eARC). You also get Alexa support baked in.

GoWISE USA 3.7-Quart Programmable Air Fryer: was $95 now $59 @ Amazon
This air fryer ranked as the best value in our GoWISE USA 3.7 Quart 8-in-1 Air Fryer review, and you can save big right now. Its 3.7 quart capacity would easily suit a couple or a small family, while the 8 presets give you a range of optimal settings at the press of a button. It excelled at roasting a chicken, as well as frying breaded chicken and chicken wings, although the pan’s not dishwasher safe which slows down clean up. Bear in mind that this deal is only available on the red color.
Keurig K-Slim Coffee Maker: was $129 now $79 @ Amazon
This compact coffee machine can serve up to 12 ounces of coffee at a time using one of Keurig's pods. However it's still large enough to fit a travel cup underneath if you need to make your drink to go. It's $50 off for a limited time only, so make sure to grab yours while sales are still active.

40% off Flash Sale! Our favorite value mattress is now 40% off in Nectar's annual flash sale. This short-lived sale is traditionally held in early November with prices we may not see again till next year. In our Nectar mattress review, we called the Editor's Choice mattress a tremendous value for the money. We found it's very comfortable (thanks to its five layers of memory foam) and it offers excellent pressure relief around your shoulders, hips, and back. Bonus points for offering an impressive 365-night trial and a forever guarantee. Currently, you can get the twin mattress for $359 (was $599) or the queen for $659 (was $1,099).
DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress: was $839 now $529 @ DreamCloud
If you need a mattress asap — this is one of the best deals out there right now. The 14-inch DreamCloud mattress is one of the tallest beds we've reviewed and our favorite hybrid mattress. It features five layers that offer firm, responsive support as well as soft cushioning. In our DreamCloud mattress review, we said it's a great bed for just about anyone, but it especially shines for those suffering from hip or lower back pain. As part of its flash sale — you can get the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress twin for $529 (was $839) or the queen for $799 (was $1,332). The mattress comes with free shipping, free returns, and a 365-night home trial.
Apple
Apple Watch Series 8: was $399 now $299 @ Amazon
The Apple Watch 9 may be the new kid on the block, but the Apple Watch 8 still has plenty to offer. A similar design, the same battery life and all the same major sensors — including the skin temperature sensor. It may not have the new finger-tap gesture or the U2 ultrawide chip, but when the price is this much lower that sounds like a worthy trade-off to us.
10.9" iPad 2022 (WiFi/64GB): was $449 now $349 @ Amazon
Lowest price! The 2022 iPad features a large 10.9-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A14 Bionic CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity, and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support.

It includes the Switch console, Mario Kart 8 (full game download), and a three-month Switch Online membership. Nintendo's membership adds worldwide multiplayer to titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Smash Bros Ultimate, as well as access to a growing library of retro classics from the NES and SNES days.

Echo Dot with Clock w/ TP-Link Smart Bulb: was $82 now $34 @ Amazon
Editor's Choice! Ok, so technically the Echo Dot with Clock (5th Gen) was $2 cheaper back in July. However, it now comes with a TP-Link Kasa smart bulb. The Echo Dot with Clock packs Alexa functionality and a great speaker into a compact shell. The addition of the LED clock display makes it our favorite Alexa speaker. We also love the built-in Eero WiFi extender and the room temperature sensor. If you're an Alexa newbie or want to update an older Echo, the Echo Dot with Clock is the best smart speaker and best smart home device you could buy.
Blink Mini Camera (3-Pack): was $100 now $39 @ Amazon
If you need to cover multiple rooms on a budget you can grab three Blink Minis for just $39 — $60 off the original price (just a single Blink Mini costs $35). These affordable cameras still pack a crisp 1080p resolution which makes out people and objects in motion. Notifications hit your devices within seconds and the cameras' infrared night vision mode makes it easy to see what's happening even in pitch-black rooms like a basement. Keep in mind that if you're away often and want to save recordings, you'll need to pay a subscription fee. However, they make great monitors for motion notifications and dropping into live feeds to check up on kids, pets, and even doorway activity.
Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023): was $59 now $39 @ Amazon
The new Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) sports an upgraded 2GHz processor and faster Wi-Fi 6E tri-band support.

This was on sale for $44 just a few days ago and it's now dropped further in price.
Ring Video Doorbell: was $99 now $54 @ Amazon
The wireless Ring Video Doorbell comes with 1080p video recording, motion detection, and night vision. It's also got a rechargeable battery and can be installed without much hassle. In our Ring Video doorbell (2nd gen) review, we called it the best video doorbell you can get for under $100.
Ring Stick Up Cam Battery: was $99 now $59 @ Amazon
The Ring Stick Up Cam is easy to install, has good battery life, and can be connected to a solar panel so you don't have to recharge its battery manually as often.

The vacuum also has a HEPA filter to trap allergens and dust inside of the unit.

Beats Powerbeats Pro: was $249 now $149 @ Amazon

Campfire Audio Orbit: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
Lowest price! The Campfire Audio Orbit easily beat rivals like the AirPods Pro 2 in terms of sound quality, making them a top choice for audiophiles. In our Campfire Audio Orbit review, we praised these earbuds for their excellent audio, responsive controls, and wireless charging capabilities. They also have long battery life, lasting for 8 hours of listening time or up to 30 hours with the charging case. However, there’s no ANC or transparency mode and few additional features.
Sony WH-1000XM5: was $399 now $328 @ Amazon
The XM5 are Sony's premium noise-cancelling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancellation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off. Note that Walmart offers the lowest price, but it's sold via a third party seller.
