Highlights:
For wearable technology, check out the Apple Watch Series 1 – $179.99 Target (compared to models at $199 at Best Buy and $249 at Kohl’s).
TVs
You can find great TV prices everywhere but I (and many experts) have found that Best Buy has the best deals on TVs all-around, especially:
Sharp 50″ Class LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HD Roku TV $179.99 (That’s $320 off!)
Doorbuster; In Store Only; Doors open at 5pm; Only at Best Buy)
Best Buy also has a Samsung 50″ Class LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HD TV for $399.99 as a doorbuster (on sale from $699.99).
Ipad
Apple’s 32GB 9.7-inch entry-level iPad will be on sale for $249.99 at Target, Walmart and Best Buy. ($80 off) I found the same iPad for $279.99 at Staples.
Tablets and other technology
Amazon Fire HD 8 – $50 at Best Buy and Amazon.com ($30 off). The Amazon Fire HD 8 is considered the best tablet you can get for under $100. Otherwise you can get Amazon Fire 7 Tablets (with half the storage space – 8 GB vs. 16) for $29.99 at Staples, Target and Best Buy. (As a frugal mom I am usually equally happy with older models.)
If you want the newest, Amazon Fire HD 10 is $99.99 at amazon.com (save $50).
Roku Streaming Stick Plus – $48 at Walmart on Black Friday (regularly $70). Best deal posted for that yet.
Google Home Mini – $29.00 at multiple stores but Target and Best Buy include $10 gift card (doorbuster at Best Buy). Walmart is offering also a $25 off credit when shopping through Google Express for a future purchase.
Google Home – $80 at JCPenney, Best Buy, Walmart and even Lowe’s – that’s $50 off
Cookware
Macy’s has some great deals on cookware and small appliances –
There are 10 FREE-after-mail-in-rebate doorbuster deals starting Thursday at 5pm, including a couple of small kitchen appliances. You can get a Bella 1.5qt Slow Cooker for FREE and a Bella 4-cup Coffee maker for FREE on Black Friday until 1pm with $10 rebate, plus some 50% off deals
JcPenney and Kohl’s also have great deals on small appliances with mail-in rebate – many as low as $5.00 (toaster, hand mixer, slow cooker)
Kohl’s – now through November 25, Kohl’s offers $15 Kohl’s cash for every $50 spent, which you can use November 26th – December 6th.
SECRET tip – even if you only spend $48, Kohl’s will round it up and still give you the Kohl’s cash. They’ll do that as long as it’s within $2.
Target has a doorbuster deal of $99.99 for a Ninja Coffee bar or Professional Kitchen System, which is $100 off.
Toys
TIPS:
- Black Friday is always the best day for toy deals
- A toy that’s at least 50% on Black Friday is most likely not going to get cheaper during the holiday season
- This is the week for LEGO deals – for example, select LEGO sets are 40% off at Toys R Us, and you can find deals directly from LEGO which start on November 24that midnight (shop.lego.com)
- Don’t forget 50% off board games and books
- Ride-on cars and motorcycles are always big on Black Friday (Target & Toys R Us have great 50% off deals)
- SURPRISING draw – Joann Fabrics has deals on retro toys that many of us loved as kids including Lite Brite ($20.99 down from $29.99), Mattel Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots Kids Game ($20.99 down from $29.99), and the Magic 8 Ball ($9.09 down from $12.99)
- Amazon has been the leader in toy deals for the past few years so you will see great deals including markdowns on Melissa & Doug, Crayola and Paw Patrol
