Best Buy early Black Friday sale this weekend — 17 deals I recommend
Best Buy is offering epic Black Friday deals
Best Buy is winning the Black Friday race. I've been tracking deals for 15 years and so far Best Buy is offering the best early Black Friday deals of any retailer.
From a $549 LG A2 OLED TV (the least-expensive OLED TV ever) to a MacBook Air M2 for $899 (my favorite Apple deal right now), very few retailers are matching the head-turning deals that Best Buy is offering this weekend. To be fair, it's still early in the season. I expect Amazon, Walmart, and Target to ramp up their deals in the days to come. But if you want to do some early shopping right now, Best Buy is where it's at.
Below, I'm sorting through my favorite early Black Friday deals at Best Buy. It's worth noting that if you're a paying My Best Buy member, there's a huge My Best Buy Early Access Sale happening now through October 29. Highlights of the sale include a $549 LG A2 OLED TV and the Editor's Choice Bose 700 on sale for $259. Plus, don’t forget to check out our Best Buy coupon codes guide for even more ways to save.

Non-members pay $649, but remember it sold for $569 last holiday season. The A2 is LG's entry-level OLED.

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.
