The holiday shopping season is officially here. Practically every retailer is pushing its Black Friday deals right now. Normally, I'd recommend people wait till Thanksgiving Week to make any big purchases, but this year I'm telling friends and family to start their holiday shopping now.
I've been covering Black Friday for 17 years and as far as I'm concerned, Black Friday started last month. What was supposed to be a "fall Prime Day" morphed into a royal rumble with competing Black Friday sales from the likes of Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. As a deals editor, it makes my life busy (especially since I got married last month), but it's great for shoppers because that means you don't have to wait till Thanksgiving to start your holiday shopping.
Yes, there are a few items I might recommend waiting on (more on that later), but a lot of the deals I expected to see on November 29 are already live. For example, you can currently get the Apple Watch 10 for $349 at Amazon. (That's the lowest price since its release). Likewise, Walmart just unveiled one of my favorite holiday sales, which is this massive Shark/Ninja appliance sale with devices from $14. (I own a few Shark/Ninja appliances and can truly vouch for them).
And it's not just tech devices that are on sale. There's a huge 50% off REI clearance sale with discounts on Hoka, Patagonia, and The North Face. Although it's technically not a sale, Lululemon has also restocked its We Made Too Much section with workout gear/accessories for men and women starting at $9. (This is a sale I'll shop later today as I do love my Lulu Pace Breaker workout shorts).
All this to say — I'm starting my Black Friday shopping now and if you want to save money, I recommend you do the same. On this live blog I and the entire Tom's Guide team will be highlighting the best Black Friday deals we come across. So make sure to bookmark this page and check often for the best sales through the end of the season.

In our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review we said the Editor's Choice phone sets new records in key areas such as battery life (16:45), screen brightness and processing performance. We also like the phone's AI capabilities, which are intuitive to use and can help save you time.
Sling TV: 50% off first month @ Sling
It's not a Black Friday sale per se, but for a limited time Sling TV is knocking 50% off your first month of service.

In our Sling TV review, we called the Editor's Choice service a cheap and flexible option for cord-cutters.

Gaming PC sale: deals from $799 @ Dell
Some of the best gaming PCs we've reviewed are now on sale during Dell's early Black Friday sale. The sale includes laptops, desktops, and monitors on sale from $799.

In our Alienware Aurora R16 review, we said the Editor's Choice rig is a gaming powerhouse with powerful components and enhanced cooling technology.

TVs
TV sale: deals from $59 @ Best Buy
Best Buy has smart TVs on sale for as low as $59. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen from Best Buy. By comparison, Amazon is offering a similar sale with prices from $59.
Price check: from $59 @ Amazon | from $74 @ Walmart
The Hisense U6N is a great budget TV. It doesn't currently hold the crown for the best TV of 2024, but it does make for a value option under the $600 mark and comes equipped with Motion Rate 240 so games and sports look fantastic on the display. Of course, both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos come included and Google TV means you're never without content to enjoy. Plus, this TV qualifies for a free copy of NBA2K25 for Xbox or PS5.
TCL always has some incredible TV deals but its QM7 is a great deal ahead of Black Friday. TCL teamed up not only with the NFL but also Call of Duty to make its 2024 TVs the most apt for motion processing and it shows. With its new QD-Mini-LED technology, the QM7 pulls out all the stops and comes equipped with the latest HDR certifications on one of the brightest panels yet.
Our Samsung QN90D Neo QLED review said this is the best QLED TV you can buy. It's incredibly bright, with gorgeous colors and strong contrast. It's also a great gaming TV, with a quick response time and access to Samsung's Gaming Hub. You also get HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support, a 144Hz refresh rate and 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. It made our list of the best TVs in 2024.
The Samsung S85D is a well-rounded OLED TV that features all of the latest technology, including Dolby Atmos support and a 120Hz refresh rate. It's built on one of the best AI upscaling chips and leverages Samsung's Tizen OS that has cloud gaming services baked right into the TV. The S85D pulls out all the stops without costing a high premium, making it a stellar gift this holiday season.
Price check: $999 @ Best Buy
The S90D is the most affordable Samsung OLED in 2024, and right now, nearly every size in the series is on sale. The two smallest sizes in the series, the 42- and 48-inch models, are often used as monitors, and for good reason: The S90D is loaded with just about every gaming feature you could want, including VRR, FreeSync, and support for 4K gaming at 120Hz or 144Hz across all four of its HDMI 2.1 inputs. (Note: The 55-, 65-, and 77-inch versions of the S90D feature quantum dots for better brightness and color volume than what you'll find on typical WOLED displays.)
Other sizes on sale:
55": was $1,797 now $1,297 @ Amazon
65": was $2,197 now $1,597 @ Amazon
77": was $3,297 now $2,197 @ Amazon
The Bravia 8 is Sony's newest OLED TV, and while it doesn't pack as bright of a picture as some of the other options on sale right now, it's nevertheless a stunning TV if what you're looking for is an accurate presentation. This OLED's sleek, accommodating design and its sensational picture processing make it a great choice for those shopping for a high-class home theater experience. Its gaming enhancements (including 4K/120Hz support) are limited to just a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, so dedicated gamers might want to take a harder look at a discounted OLED from LG or Samsung. For cinephiles and general A/V enthusiasts, however, the Bravia 8 is a stellar option.
Other sizes on sale:
65": was $2,499 now $1,698 @ Amazon
The LG G4 is our pick for the best OLED TV you can buy in 2024. It features the second generation of LG's much-lauded Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, which allows the G4 to get much brighter than traditional OLED displays. Being a flagship LG TV, the G4 comes with a laundry list of A/V- and gaming-related features, including a full slate of HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 4K gaming at 120Hz or 144Hz, VRR, FreeSync, G-Sync compatibility, and LG's Game Optimizer mode. It's packed to the brim with useful features, looks jaw-dropping across all content types, and is currently on sale for a lower price than what I was expecting to see on Black Friday.
Other sizes on sale:
65": was $3,399 now $2,296 @ Amazon
The B4 is LG's entry-level OLED TV for 2024. The 77-inch version originally launched at around $3,400 and dropped to around $2,000 a few weeks ago. Today, you can land this extra-large OLED for even less. It's not as bright as the LG G4, but it should hold up in most living rooms thanks to the built-in benefits of OLED contrast. The B4 is particularly good pick for gamers, as nearly all of the gaming-related features featured on the higher-end LG C4 and G4 are still found on the B4, including four HDMI 2.1 inputs, ALLM, VRR, and FreeSync. This is the TV to get if you want to save as much money as possible on an OLED TV above 65 inches.
Laptops
The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 is a premium Chromebook with a strong-feeling build, comfortable keyboard and top-firing speakers. It features a 15.6-inch FHD display with Intel Core i3-1215U CPU, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Need a laptop that's flexible? The Lenovo Yoga 7i converts between laptop and tablet mode, with a 16-inch 2K display that can reach up to 300 nits of brightness. This model comes configured with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U CPU, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. Plus, this is one portable device weighing 4.63 lbs, and measuring 0.75-inches thick.
The MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops because it's remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount. Just note that the newer MacBook Air 13-inch M3 is now available.
If you're shopping for an Intel-based gaming laptop, the HP Omen is a great pick. You'll get a large 16-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS display with a high 165Hz refresh rate. Inside, it's packing an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, RTX 4060 GPU and a whopping 1TB of storage space.
The 15-inch MacBook Air M3 is perfect for anyone looking for a big-screen MacBook without the premium price of a MacBook Pro. It delivers fantastic performance and amazing 15-hour battery life. It sports a 15.3-inch Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M3 CPU w/ 10 core GPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
With a focus on providing power for AI tools, this MSI laptop has 32GB of RAM for excellent multitasking, as well as a sleek cut-out hinge design. Add to that an RTX 4060 for gaming and you've got a productivity powerhouse that can do it all.
This ASUS laptop is colorful thanks to its lighting, but it's all business with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. It uses bespoke cooling for sustained performance over long gaming sessions, and it comes with 90 days of Xbox Game Pass. You also get a Core i7-13650HX CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
Mattresses
Nectar's flagship memory foam is on sale from $349 (twin). The previous version of this excellent mid-range mattress topped out best memory foam mattress guide, and we expect this new version to boast all the excellent features that made it a winner. Our Nectar Original Memory Foam mattress review praised its good balance of softness and support, as well as its excellent cooling and value. Because it's on the firmer side of medium-firm, we recommend it to stomach and back sleepers of any weight, plus average-weight side sleepers. It contours gently, but doesn't suck you down into the mattress like a Tempur-Pedic bed would. You'll get some great benefits with this mattress too, including a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty, and free shipping and returns.
The Saatva Classic is a handcrafted innerspring hybrid that looks and feels like a high-end hotel bed. This is the best hybrid mattress we've tested and our top recommendation over all for every type of sleeper. The Classic comes in three firmness levels and two different heights (11.5" or 14.5"), so it's customizable. We awarded it a near-perfect score in our Saatva Classic mattress review, praising the pressure relief for aching joints, and lumbar support for less back pain. Right now a queen size Classic costs $1,781 (was $2,095), which is more expensive than the best price of 2024: $1,695 for a queen. We predict that the cost of Saatva mattresses will drop again for Black Friday, so consider waiting for a better Saatva mattress sale if you don't need to buy urgently. If you do need a new mattress now and want the Saatva Classic, then $1,781 is still good value for a handcrafted mattress made with premium materials. You'll also get a year's sleep trial, lifetime warranty and free mattress installation with old bed removal.
If you love the sound of the Saatva Classic (above) but have a smaller budget, The DreamCloud hybrid is our top alternative recommendation. All of the testers for our DreamCloud mattress review loved sleeping on this hybrid, noting that while it does need a couple of weeks' breaking in, after that it's one of the comfiest beds you'll sleep on. We rate The DreamCloud as this year's best mattress in a box for all budgets, with a queen size costing $665 right now. That price has been in place since last Black Friday, thanks to a monthly DreamCloud mattress sale offering up to 50% off. Considering The DreamCloud is over $1,000 cheaper than the Saatva Classic, you're still getting a lot of mattress for your money here. The benefits are nearly as good too, with a lifetime warranty and year's sleep trial. DreamCloud only comes with free standard shipping though – Saatva's free White Glove Delivery includes installation and the team will take away your packaging and old mattress and base.
Appliances

The Keurig Express offers three cup sizes — 8, 10 and 12 oz and has a 42 oz detachable water reservoir, making it easy to remove, fill or clean.

This is a solid choice if you’re after an over the range microwave. It comes with a 1.7 cubic feet capacity and various presets to cook or defrost your food. Its turntable plate is also dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning up spills easier than ever. We also like its two-speed fan which helps get rid of cooking odors and its adjustable lighting, so you can see what's cooking.
The 10-Qt Ninja Foodi is a dual zone air fryer, meaning it has two baskets. This makes it perfect for cooking larger holidays meals or if guests have different dietary requirements. You'll be able to prepare two types of food at the same time, with separate cooking temperatures and times. It features a super hot Air Broil setting, plus roasting, dehydrating and baking modes. You can also sync both baskets to ensure everything you're air-frying finishes at the same time!

It’s Energy Star certified as well, so you won’t have to worry about expensive running costs.
Vacuums
Our favorite budget robot vacuum is on sale for just $109. While it lacks the smarts of more expensive models, the V3s Pro is an excellent robo vac, picking up virtually everything we threw in its path — including pet hair. In our iLife V3s Pro review, we named the Editor's Choice vacuum the best budget cleaner. Keep in mind this price is just $10 more than its historical low of $99 last year, so it can sell out quickly. Make sure to clip the on-page digital coupon to get this price.
For those who want an entry-level robot vacuum at an affordable price, this Amazon Black Friday deal should not be missed. The Shark ION comes with a tri-brush system that offers a multi-brush cleaning performance across different surfaces and can easily maneuver around stairs or ledges. Its battery lasts up to 120 minutes—enough to clean your whole home. Meanwhile, the SharkClean app lets you schedule and control your robot vac at the touch of a button and is compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
iRobot's entry-level 2-in-1 Roomba is a compact smart vacuum and mop with an extensive 120-minute battery life. The Combo Essential is already a steal at its normal price thanks to its premium features like room mapping, cleaning automatically when you leave your home, and job time estimates stand head and shoulders above other budget options. Meanwhile, its Dirt Detect sensors focus on deep cleaning dirtier areas in your home and can even suggest extra passes during peak pollen or shedding season. Its 4-stage cleaning system with dual multi-surface rubber brushes is ideal for homes with pet hair and can handle both carpet and hardwood floors.

Perhaps the best Shark deal you can buy right now, this 47% saving on one of Shark's latest stick vacuum is a brilliant option. It has a super-smart QuadClean Multi-Surface Brushroll, which will handle a range of needs at once including fine dust, pet hair, large debris, and dust along edges.

Smart home
The current-gen Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) sports an upgraded 2GHz processor and faster Wi-Fi 6E tri-band support. You also get Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support on the video front and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Atmos support on the audio side. In our Fire TV Stick 4K Max review, we said it's a good streaming stick at a decent price if you use Alexa a lot, but it becomes a better bargain when it's on sale.
The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 1080p, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud) and has a two-year battery life. The Editor's Choice camera holds a spot in our list of the best home security cameras. You can also snag a pack of four Blink Outdoor 4's for $159.
If you need to cover multiple rooms on a budget, you can grab three Blink Minis for just $69. 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. This isn't the biggest discount we've seen but it's still a great deal, since one camera by itself is priced $29.
The new Echo Spot (2024) is a cross between the Echo Dot and Echo Show. It lacks a camera, but sports a small basic LCD that displays the time, weather, album cover art, and smart home controls. In our Amazon Echo Spot review, we said it sits somewhere between the Echo Dot with Clock and the Echo Show 5, offering a good middle ground for those who want a smart speaker for their bedside with limited distractions. It's now bundled with a free Globe Electric Smart Bulb.
This bundle deal gets you two great Blink devices for just $99. Answer your door from anywhere with Video Doorbell and help protect your home inside and out with our wire-free Outdoor 4 smart security camera. You don't want to miss out on this bundle that will save you $60.

This bundle gets you a lot, including a Blink Outdoor 4 camera, which earned our Editor’s Choice award and is one of the best home security cameras we’ve tested. It also features a Mini 2 camera with Alexa integration. Combined with a video doorbell, this bundle is ideal for keeping an eye on the surroundings of your home. You save $60 on the entire package.
If you have a lot of ground to cover and want to score some big savings, this bundle comes with three Blink Outdoor (4th Gen) security cameras and a Blink Video Doorbell. It's now 50% off on Amazon.

Upgrade your gaming setup with this official Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black. This controller is also compatible with PC and mobile if you prefer to game on multiple platforms. At $16 off, this is one of the biggest discounts on the official Xbox Wireless Controller we've seen to date.
It's the tiniest of discounts, but given Echoes of Wisdom only just landed, it's worth mentioning all the same. The latest Zelda game sees the titular Princess setting off on her own full adventure for the first time, wielding the power of "Echoes" of items and monsters from throughout the realm to save Hyrule from a series of mysterious rifts.
After more than a decade of waiting, EA returned to the world of NCAA football in the appropriately titled College Football 25. And this simulation of college football was worth the weight. Offering a slightly more arcade-style pace than its Madden sibling, and letting you play as the biggest schools in the country, it lived up to all those years of anticipated.
If pro football is more your speed, this latest entry in EA's long-running Madden series offers several improvements that dedicated fans of the annual sports franchise have requested for years, like improved on-field action, better UI, more realistic AI for rival teams, and more.
Take on legions of enemies in procedurally-generated dungeons and scoop up loot to outfit yourself for harder runs as you fight your way towards Mephisto's daughter, Lilith in this latest installment of Blizzard's much-loved dungeon-crawling series. Plus, with the game's first major expansion, Vessel of Hatred, launching this month there's never been a better time to dive into the world of Diablo.
Another masterpiece. Tears of the Kingdom is a breathlessly clever sequel that lets you achieve some remarkable physics-defying feats thanks to Link's Ultrahand abilities.
Mario's latest side-scrolling adventure is a wonderfully refreshing spin on the classic formula. Venturing to the Flower Kingdom, you'll discover stage-altering Wonder Flowers which can warp levels, create new platforming challenges and even turn Mario into an elephant. Playable in up to four-player co-op, Mario Wonder is a platforming marvel for the entire family and one of the very best Nintendo Switch games you can play now.
The long-dormant Prince of Persia franchise returns in The Lost Crown, a new spin on the beloved series. In this side-scrolling action platformer, you play Sargon, a member of an Immortal clan, exploring a cursed city in search of a kidnapped Prince. To succeed in your mission, you'll need to master acrobatic combat and make use of your Time Powers to defeat your foes.
