These are the 13 best early Black Friday deals I’ve found this week
And so it begins. The calendar has ticked over into November (do calendars tick?) and the Black Friday deals season has started in earnest. All the signs are there: big sales at the big retailers, Black Friday ads appearing, record-low prices wherever you look.
There’s more to come, of course – after all, we’re still three weeks away from Black Friday itself – but we have now reached the point at which it’s genuinely worth starting your deals hunt. Prices will undoubtedly drop lower still on some products, but others may already have reached their limit. Plus, waiting another few weeks isn’t an option if you need something NOW.
So read on for our pick of the 13 best deals we’ve found this week, and don’t forget to also check out our main Black Friday deals hub for an even wider selection of offers that we’ll regularly update over the next few weeks.
