Black Friday starts now — 41 deals I'd add to my cart this weekend before they vanish
There's no need to wait for Thanksgiving with these sales
The first weekend of November is here and while most people are naturally focusing on Daylight Saving, I'm here to tell you there's a bigger event happening right now. Retailers are rolling out their Black Friday deals and there's no need to wait till Thanksgiving Day to start your holiday shopping.
I've been a deals editor for 17 years and while I used to suggest shoppers wait till the end of November for the best Black Friday deals, that's not the case anymore. Ever since Amazon launched its October Prime Day, retailers have bumped their holiday sales to mid-October. Is there a chance some items will drop further in price? Sure, but today's deals are so good that I don't foresee any major price drops in the coming days. (And in the few cases where I do expect further price drops, I'll make that clear in my recommendations).
So below I've rounded up all of the best Black Friday deals I'd buy right now. From our favorite TVs to beds featured in our best mattress guide — here's where I'd spend my money right now.

TVs
TV sale: deals from $69 @ Best Buy
Best Buy has smart TVs on sale for as low as $69. 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 $69.

Samsung 65" S90C OLED 4K TV: was $1,699 now $1,299 @ Best Buy
The Samsung S90C is a slightly cheaper alternative to the S95C. However, both TVs use the same QD-OLED display and are great for gamers with low latency, HDMI 2.1 ports, and support for 4K/144Hz. The only major difference is that the S95C gets brighter, which makes it a better pick for rooms with lots of ambient light. Otherwise, the S90C is an amazing value that'll save you a few hundred bucks. It packs HDR 10+/HLG support, Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant/SmartThings compatibility, and built-in Alexa voice assistant. In our Samsung OLED S90C review, we said the Editor's Choice TV offers premium performance at a midrange price.
