Black Friday 2017: pre-Black Friday deals are starting to go live

November 15, 2017
Read

Thanksgiving is steadily approaching. As much as you may be looking forward to the break and the over indulgent turkey dinner, even more exciting for many is the biggest shopping event of the year that follows. Here’s everything you need to know about Black Friday 2017!

When is Black Friday?

This year, Black Friday falls on November 24. Traditionally, you got to take advantage of plummeting prices and unbelievable discounts on just that one day, but things have changed a lot over the years. Now, not only have retailers extended the shopping period to cover at least the following Monday, but some stores have great offers available even now.

The best part is that a mad dash into a store at 5 AM is no longer necessary either, and you can make your next big purchase from the comfort of your own home. This is encouraged in fact, with many stores featuring online exclusives as well.

The biggest three days of the “Black Friday season” are the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving day, and of course Black Friday itself. All the biggest discounts will likely fall within that window, but if you want a deal now, let’s jump in and take a look at all the best deals currently on offer.

Editor’s note: This post will be updated regularly – as often as daily – in order to keep up with the best deals. In other words, be sure to return if you want to keep up with all the latest holiday deals. 

All the best deals live right now

Our favorite (live) deals so far:

Other live deals worth looking at:

Televisions & Monitors

Tablets

Wearables and smartwatches

Right now there aren’t a ton of live deals but expect more as we march closer to Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Amazon is also offering a number of time sensitive deals in the form of “deal of the day” offers and lightening deals. Due to the fact lightening deals are very time sensitive (usually good for a few hours) and change throughout the day, we aren’t going to list them all here. The same goes for deals of the day. The kind of products typically offered include headphones, household gadgets, mobile accessories, and more.

We recommend heading over to Amazon to take a closer look!

The best upcoming Black Friday deals – what to expect

Black Friday isn’t too far away now and there are now dozens of great deals starting to surface as a result. Below we’ve compiled all the biggest deals from major retailers including Amazon, Google, Target, Walmart, and more.

 

Google

Google’s Black Friday sales will not only apply to the Google Store, but also select partners including Best Buy and Target.

Google’s deals start on Thanksgiving (Nov 23) at 12:01am EST and end at 2:59am EST on Tuesday, Nov 28.
