We’re hours away from Cyber Monday — the even more explicitly online-focused version of Black Friday — and it’s historically fetched some of the sales weekend’s lowest prices. While it officially begins November 29, many retailers are holding early Cyber Monday sales or continuing Black Friday deals right now.
Cyber Monday is a particularly great time to shop for tech, smart home, and gift cards — though stock is typically much more limited than Black Friday. Acting fast is key to getting a good deal, so it’s important to know what you’re shopping for ahead of time. Don’t worry if you see the dreaded “out of stock” symbol — other retailers might have the product you wanted in stock with a similar deal, and we’ve seen discounts come back throughout the event, sometimes on the same day. To keep up with discounts without spending all day sleuthing, bookmark this page and check back throughout the day; we’ll do the heavy lifting for you.
At Insider Reviews, we test products all year and track their price history so we can give you solid buying advice during big shopping events like Cyber Monday. Tons of deals are available now on products we love and trust, and we’re highlighting the best ones below.

Quiet, slim, and powerful, the eufy RoboVac 15C Max is a solid investment if you’re looking for a robot vacuum. It’s already very affordable at retail price, but you can also often find it on sale, making it an even better deal.

Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Black Friday every year. In 2021, the shopping event will land on November 29.
As a continuation of sorts to Black Friday, Cyber Monday gives shoppers another opportunity to save on tech, home goods, clothing, and more that you might’ve missed while digesting Thanksgiving dinner. Unlike Black Friday, though, Cyber Monday is entirely online.
What time does Cyber Monday start?
Cyber Monday officially begins at 12 a.m. ET on November 29. That said, the event is expected to carry over many deals from Black Friday, so some discounts are already available.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday began as the online version of Black Friday, where online retailers offered big discounts to match their brick-and-mortar counterparts. Now, Cyber Monday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, often surpassing even Black Friday in terms of revenue and sales.
Previously, the main distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday was that Black Friday focused on in-store sales and Cyber Monday on online sales. But as shopping habits have increasingly favored the internet, shoppers can look forward to a very online-focused Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
Cyber Monday offers a great opportunity to save on all your holiday gifts.
How long do Cyber Monday sales last?
Though Cyber Monday sales once took place on Monday only, we’ve seen them extend to longer and longer durations, with a handful lasting through the rest of the week.
However, the best discounts we see are in limited supply and expire soon after they become available.
What’s better, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
With more and more buyers shopping online, the debate over which shopping holiday wins, is practically moot. Both events will be held predominantly online, and more than a few deals overlap. In fact, many Black Friday deals become Cyber Monday deals when the dates change.
If possible, buyers should shop on both holidays. We’ve seen different products receive better discounts on each day, and the deals that each retailer offers will vary.
Generally speaking, consumers shopping for big-ticket items, such as laptops, TVs, and kitchen appliances, can expect more opportunities on Black Friday. Shoppers looking for last year’s models, smart home gadgets, digital subscriptions, and gift cards will likely find more luck during Cyber Monday.
What should I buy during Cyber Monday?
If a retailer offers Black Friday deals, it’s a near guarantee that it will offer Cyber Monday deals, too. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are some noteworthy retailers that we know will participate in the shopping event, with deals across many product categories.
We will likely see massive discounts on some of our favorite direct-to-consumer products during Cyber Monday, such as retail startups like Leesa and Brooklinen. For some online stores, Cyber Monday (or Cyber Week) will be one of the few times of the year when their products see major markdowns.
To help you avoid the shipping crunch and get your stuff sooner, several retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, offer in-store pickup and contactless curbside pickup. This means shoppers can grab their orders at a nearby location, provided that the retailer has it in stock.
Best Cyber Monday deals we saw last year
Last year, we saw a lot of great sales on Cyber Monday ranging from sitewide discounts to specific products. Everything from home and kitchen, to subscription services were on sale during last year’s annual savings event.
Here are a few of the best Cyber Monday deals from 2020.
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, and that we’ve either used ourselves or researched carefully.
We compare the prices among top retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart and only include the deals that are better than all others offered (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals are at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsized value.

Cyber Monday is tomorrow, but Nordstrom’s sale is live now, and we’re seeing plenty of amazing discounts already. Following the retailer’s Black Friday sale, the Cyber Monday sale runs through Tuesday, November 30, with up to 50% off on women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, skincare, makeup, home goods, and more.
During the Cyber Monday sale, you’ll be able to score rare discounts from brands like UGG, Dyson, Clinique, and Rag & Bone. We’ll keep this post updated while the sale is live to make sure you get the best deals available. Below we’ve highlighted the best Nordstrom items on sale now.

Right now, you can get the All-Clad set of two nonstick frying pans for $60 during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.
What should I buy from Nordstrom this Cyber Monday?
Nordstrom’s Cyber Monday sale is a great time to stock up on everything from essentials like socks, underwear, winter coats, hats, and gloves, to splurge items like sunglasses, handbags, jewelry, and beauty products. You’ll also find home goods like pillows, candles, diffusers, and more. The Cyber Monday sale is an especially good chance to score items from rarely-discounted brands like UGG and Reformation.
How do we select Cyber Monday deals from Nordstrom?
We only choose products that meet our standards for coverage. These items come from trusted brands that we know and use or have tested ourselves.
The deal price must be better than the retail price or the normal sale price.
We anticipate many deals from Black Friday to roll over to Cyber Monday.
When does Nordstrom’s Cyber Monday sale start?
Nordstrom’s Cyber Monday sale is live now and runs through November 30.
What is Nordstrom’s return policy?
Nordstrom doesn’t have a traditional return policy. Instead, returns are handled on a case-by-case basis, and the company tends to be very accommodating.
Can I shop at the Nordstrom store near me?
Yes, Nordstrom’s Cyber Monday deals will be available in stores. You can also order online and choose in-store pick-up or curbside pickup. We recommend shopping online for public health reasons and so that you can skip this year’s likely long and slow lines.
How does Nordstrom stand up to the competition on Cyber Monday?
While other department stores will also have Cyber Monday sales, Nordstrom stands out for its wide range of affordable brands and luxury brands. Nordstrom’s lenient return policy is also a major plus for shopping during the holiday season. You won’t have to worry about strict return windows.

Cyber Monday doesn’t officially start until November 29, but Walmart has already launched several early deals, and we’re collecting the best ones here.
Every year, the retailer participates in the deal holiday by dropping its online prices on tech, entertainment, and home goods. We expect even bigger discounts once Walmart’s Black Friday sale ends this weekend and the Cyber Monday event officially begins, but you can find several products with tempting discounts right now.
Below, we rounded up some early Walmart deals, along with additional details to help you prepare for Walmart’s Cyber Monday sale.
The Beats Studio Buds offer great sound, an excellent fit, and decent noise cancellation for $150. They support instant pairing for both iPhone and Android users, but the iPhone experience is still more seamless.
The Apple AirPods Pro look and sound better than previous-generation AirPods. Plus, they have noise cancellation built right into them and integrate perfectly with other Apple devices.

The retailer’s early Black Friday sale actually began November 3, and you can expect deals to linger on for the rest of the week after Cyber Monday.
What should you buy at Walmart during Cyber Monday?
A huge selection of Walmart’s catalog will be discounted for Cyber Monday, but the holiday often focuses on electronics, smart home, TVs, entertainment, and gift card deals.
How we select the best Cyber Monday deals at Walmart:
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, from brands we’ve tested and trust.
We compare the prices against other retailers like Amazon, Target, and Best Buy and only include the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
We research price history thoroughly, to ensure that every deal we list is actually worth your time.
How does Walmart’s Cyber Monday sale compare to other retailers?
Despite being one of the largest retailers to participate in Cyber Monday, Walmart’s deals are often, at best, equivalent to its competition. It’s a great place to shop for all-time lows matching that of Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, but it doesn’t typically offer unique discounts that you can’t find elsewhere.
If you are shopping with a deadline, though, Walmart is a great option for in-store pickup and curbside pickup.
Does Walmart have curbside pickup?
Walmart offers contactless curbside grocery pickup at eligible locations. Just park, and a staff member will shop for your items and then load your goods into your car.
If you’re hustling to get an item, Walmart also provides free same-day pickup as an option when shopping online. You’ll need to keep an eye out for product listings with the “Free Pickup Today” tag when browsing.
Should I get Walmart+?
Paid Walmart+ members get early access to select deals before other shoppers, so getting a subscription could help you snag a popular item. That said, early access is not available to those who use the Walmart+ trial.
If you want to try out Walmart+ free of charge, you can still get a trial to take advantage of other perks that are available year-round: free delivery, free shipping, fuel discounts, and scan and go.

Amazon’s early Cyber Monday sale is now live just before the main day itself on November 29, which comes hot on the heels of the online retailer’s Black Friday event. Don’t worry if something you wanted was out of stock during Black Friday, it’s likely to become available again, or you might find another deal on something else.
Right now, shoppers can get big discounts on everything from tech and home goods to kitchen appliances and apparel. If you’re shopping for holiday gifts, Cyber Monday may be one of the final deal opportunities this year.

What Cyber Monday deals should you buy at Amazon?
Amazon’s Cyber Monday markdowns are as good as those offered during Black Friday and are on par with the Cyber Monday discounts from Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. We expect Amazon and its competition to price-match each other throughout Cyber Monday. Shoppers can find big savings on digital content, streaming media players, smart home products, and more.
We’re seeing many products that are a repeat of what we saw during Prime Day. Right now, some of the best deals currently available include Fire tablets, the Kindle Paperwhite, and Roombas.
During Cyber Monday, shoppers should pay attention to two types of deals: daily deals and Lightning deals. The former are one-day offers, usually grouped by brand or category, and change at the end of the day. The latter are limited-stock offers released throughout the day. We expect to see the best deals to come in the Lightning deal form.
Should I get Amazon Prime?
Amazon Prime subscribers will get the most out of Amazon’s Cyber Monday. We’ve found that shoppers can make up the cost of the subscription with their savings from shipping alone. If you don’t shop Amazon often, but want to take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts, consider a $13 month-long membership. New members can sign up for a free 30-day trial with full benefits through most of the sales event.
How do we choose the best Cyber Monday deals at Amazon?
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, and that we’ve either tested, used in our daily lives, or researched carefully.
We will compare the prices against other retailers like Target and Best Buy and only included the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals will be at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsized value.

However, at almost $800 plus $130 per year for filters, it’s more than most people want to pay for an air purifier that isn’t particularly powerful. We think there are better models at a lower price point.

Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Black Friday every year. In 2021, the shopping event will land on November 29.
As a continuation of sorts to Black Friday, Cyber Monday gives shoppers another opportunity to save on tech, home goods, clothing, and more that you might’ve missed while digesting Thanksgiving dinner. Unlike Black Friday, though, Cyber Monday is entirely online.
What time does Cyber Monday start?
Cyber Monday officially begins at 12 a.m. ET on November 29. That said, the event is expected to carry over many deals from Black Friday, so some discounts are already available.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday began as the online version of Black Friday, where online retailers offered big discounts to match their brick-and-mortar counterparts. Now, Cyber Monday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, often surpassing even Black Friday in terms of revenue and sales.
Previously, the main distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday was that Black Friday focused on in-store sales and Cyber Monday on online sales. But as shopping habits have increasingly favored the internet, shoppers can look forward to a very online-focused Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
Cyber Monday offers a great opportunity to save on all your holiday gifts.
How long do Cyber Monday sales last?
Though Cyber Monday sales once took place on Monday only, we’ve seen them extend to longer and longer durations, with a handful lasting through the rest of the week.
However, the best discounts we see are in limited supply and expire soon after they become available.
What’s better, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
With more and more buyers shopping online, the debate over which shopping holiday wins, is practically moot. Both events will be held predominantly online, and more than a few deals overlap. In fact, many Black Friday deals become Cyber Monday deals when the dates change.
If possible, buyers should shop on both holidays. We’ve seen different products receive better discounts on each day, and the deals that each retailer offers will vary.
Generally speaking, consumers shopping for big-ticket items, such as laptops, TVs, and kitchen appliances, can expect more opportunities on Black Friday. Shoppers looking for last year’s models, smart home gadgets, digital subscriptions, and gift cards will likely find more luck during Cyber Monday.
What should I buy during Cyber Monday?
If a retailer offers Black Friday deals, it’s a near guarantee that it will offer Cyber Monday deals, too. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are some noteworthy retailers that we know will participate in the shopping event, with deals across many product categories.
We will likely see massive discounts on some of our favorite direct-to-consumer products during Cyber Monday, such as retail startups like Leesa and Brooklinen. For some online stores, Cyber Monday (or Cyber Week) will be one of the few times of the year when their products see major markdowns.
To help you avoid the shipping crunch and get your stuff sooner, several retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, offer in-store pickup and contactless curbside pickup. This means shoppers can grab their orders at a nearby location, provided that the retailer has it in stock.
Best Cyber Monday deals we saw last year
Last year, we saw a lot of great sales on Cyber Monday ranging from sitewide discounts to specific products. Everything from home and kitchen, to subscription services were on sale during last year’s annual savings event.
Here are a few of the best Cyber Monday deals from 2020.
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, and that we’ve either used ourselves or researched carefully.
We compare the prices among top retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart and only include the deals that are better than all others offered (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals are at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsized value.

Black Friday has arrived and some of the best discounts are available at Amazon. TVs, kitchen appliances, smart home devices, video games and more are all down to some of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year. Amazon’s huge catalog and willingness to price match competitors makes it one of the best places to find Black Friday deals, especially for Prime members.
It’s also a great time to score discounts on Amazon devices like Kindles, Echo smart speakers, and Ring doorbells. Although plenty of deals are expected to carry on through Cyber Monday, snagging a discount sooner rather than later can help you avoid shipping delays and secure hot ticket items like Apple AirPods before they sell out.
Apple’s AirPods Pro are the company’s flagship AirPods that come with the most features and the best sound, at least when it comes to the company’s earbuds.
The latest affordable Video Doorbell model from Ring features 1080p recording and improved motion tracking. It’s a great deal if you’re looking to start adding smart devices to your home. Orders made now will be fulfilled in 6 to 7 weeks.
You can plug any device into the Amazon Smart Plug to make it smart so that you can control the device in person with your voice or remotely with the app.
LG’s C1 is one of the best 4K TVs you can buy. The OLED panel delivers incredible image quality with an infinite contrast ratio. This deal price matches the lowest we’ve seen so far.
Typically, you can get a 3-month Game Pass subscription for $30. Right now, it’s only $20, a solid deal. This is the PC version, which gets you EA Play, exclusive member discounts, and unlimited to access to over 100 games.
This 128GB memory card from Sandisk and year-long subscription to Nintendo’s online services bundle is valued at nearly $55. Right now it’s currently at a deal price of $45.
Amazon’s Wi-Fi enabled Luna controller is designed for the Luna cloud gaming service. This particular controller promises to reduce delay when streaming, compared to a standard Bluetooth controller.
PlayStation Plus allows gamers to play online, nets them special discounts in the PlayStation Network store, and subscribers get free games each month that remain available as long as the PlayStation Plus subscription is active.
“Death Loop” is an unusual first-person shooter that challenges players to escape a day-long time loop by assassinating specific targets. The game is a great pick for fans of spy movies, sci-fi, and creative gunplay.
The “The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild” is the definitive adventure game on the Nintendo Switch, sending players on a sprawling journey across a fantasy world with hundreds of secrets to discover.
This robot vacuum can be automated to work around your home schedule, and also works with virtual assistants like Alexa and Google Home. It’s not the most powerful Roomba, but it can handle hardwood floors, pet hair and short carpets without issue.
We love this electric toothbrush as a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on performance. It’s also the path of least resistance to helping your teen build their own healthy habits.
The Instant Pot Duo Crisp is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, and sous vide machine all in one, making it one of the most useful and economical small appliances we tested.
Bidets have only started to catch on in the United States in the past few years, though they’re common and quite popular in parts of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
Self-emptying, self-cleaning, and Wi-Fi enabled, this robot vac is as convenient as it gets. It also cleans in neat rows as opposed to crossing around your room for more efficiency.
Native Deodorant is an aluminum, paraben, and cruelty free deodorant for both men and women. Multiple 3-pack options are discounted so you can choose your favorite scents.
Black Friday is an annual sales event that traditionally happens at the end of November, after Thanksgiving, and it’s followed closely by Cyber Monday. This year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday land on November 26 and November 29, respectively.
Amazon began early Black Friday discounts in October with a series of Epic Daily Deals. Now, the official Black Friday Sale is live and will carry on through Cyber Monday.
What should I buy from Amazon’s Black Friday deals?
Amazon is the everything store — which means if something is on your shopping list, it will likely see a discount during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
We’re already seeing huge discounts on Amazon’s in-house brands, Fire devices, Kindles, and Echo smart home gadgetry that matches what we saw during Prime Day. Plus, we expect to see several of Amazon’s services dramatic markdowns like we saw on Prime Day, tweaked slightly.
On top of that, the sale will encompass every product category Amazon offers, which is to say, everything. Tech, beauty, home and kitchen, fashion, and smart home are some of the categories to be on the lookout for.
Last year, we saw discounts of up to 50% on streaming sticks, voice assistants, headphones, and more.
There are two deal types you should be aware of during Black Friday: daily deals and Lightning deals. The former are one-day offers, usually grouped by brand or category, and change at the end of the day. The latter are limited-time offers, often less than 24 hours, released throughout the day.
Each is limited by stock. So, it’s not unwise to reorganize your shopping behavior; create the order first and agonize about the purchase afterward (you can always cancel the order before it ships without any penalty.)
How we’re selecting the best Amazon Black Friday deals
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, and that we’ve either used ourselves or researched carefully.
We will compare the prices against other retailers like Target and Best Buy and only include the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals are at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsized value.
Do I need to be a Prime member to shop Black Friday at Amazon?
Unlike Prime Day, which requires a Prime subscription, Amazon’s Black Friday sale is open to everyone.
A Prime membership costs $13 a month, or $119 for a full year, which may seem steep, but it’s still completely worth it. Of course, you could sign up for a 30-day trial, or just pay for a month-long membership. (You’re in the window where you can start now, shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and not have to pay for the subscription.) Amazon also offers discounted Prime memberships for a few select groups.
No matter how you spin it, subscribing to Prime is the best way to make the most out of Amazon during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Can I order online and pick up in a store?
Unlike Target, Best Buy, and Walmart, Amazon shoppers are unable to shop at a store.
However, Amazon offers a few ways to ship your orders in addition to the standard two-day shipping, including free same-day shipping (which may be hard to come by during Black Friday), Amazon Day scheduled deliveries, and Amazon Hub Locker pickup, which offers a self-service delivery location, or locker, to pick up and return your orders.

Black Friday 2021 is officially here and deals are now live across all categories at Walmart. The retailer typically offers some of the best Black Friday discounts, and you can find tons of deals on products covering tech, home, fashion, and more.
The best Black Friday deals often have limited stock, so act quickly if you see something you like on sale. Don’t be discouraged if the product you want is sold out, as we expect some items to get restocks throughout Black Friday, the weekend, and into Cyber Monday.
Insider Reviews tests products all year to produce expert reviews and buying guides. Below, we highlighted some of the best Walmart Black Friday deals available now on products we love and trust. Keep this page open and refresh it often to check out the latest and best discounts that are in stock.

This is one of the cheapest smart vacuums we’ve seen to date – this far out from the official launch of Walmart’s sale. It’s tough to imagine this getting much cheaper during the deals event, so it might be wise to act quickly.
Black Friday 2021 officially started on November 26. Sales will continue through Cyber Monday, November 29.
Walmart’s Deals for Days event launched November 3 and more early discounts arrived on November 22. Walmart stores were closed for Thanksgiving day; in-store and online Black Friday deals launched on November 26 at 5 a.m. local time.
How we select the best Black Friday deals at Walmart
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, from brands we’ve tested and trust.
We compare the prices against other retailers like Amazon, Target, and Best Buy and only include the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
We research price history thoroughly, to ensure that every deal we list is actually worth your time.
Does Walmart have curbside pickup?
For contact-free shopping, Walmart offers curbside pickup. All you need to do is place an order online and select your pickup time slot. A Walmart team member will do your shopping and load them into your car from there.
Alternatively, some items can even be ordered online and picked up the same day. All you have to do is keep an eye out for products marked “Free Pickup Today” when shopping. Same-day pickup items are made available within four hours of placing your order — you’ll get an email when it’s ready.
What Black Friday deals should you buy at Walmart?
Historically, Walmart’s Black Friday markdowns are on par with those offered by Best Buy, Target, and Amazon — and we expect this year has been no different. Outside of a few select doorbusters, we anticipate each retailer to price-match their competitor’s prices during Black Friday. Shoppers can expect big savings on several TVs, streaming media players, kitchen appliances, and more.
Should I sign up for Walmart+ before Black Friday?
Paid Walmart+ memberships include a few extra perks this holiday shopping season. Subscribers received access to each phase of Walmart’s Deals for Days sale four hours earlier than other shoppers in the lead up to Black Friday. In addition, Walmart Plus continues to offer the same set of standard perks year-round, like free shipping, scan and go, and free grocery delivery.
The service costs $98 a year or $13 a month. Signing up for Walmart Plus is a good idea if you’re a frequent Walmart shopper, regardless of Black Friday.
If you’re not interested in early access to deals, however, you will be better off signing up for a Walmart Plus 15-day free trial right before Black Friday. The free trial gets you free shipping without an order minimum, meaning you can make as many impulse buys as you’d like without worrying about shipping costs. On the downside, the free trial does not grant you early access to deals.

Black Friday 2021 is now underway and we’re tracking the best deals across all categories including tech, home and kitchen, beauty and fashion, and health and fitness.
Plenty of retailers already started offering big discounts before Black Friday, so don’t be surprised if top items like Apple’s AirPods Pro headphones and Instant Pot pressure cookers begin to sell out as the shopping holiday continues. That said, we’ve seen a few products go out of stock briefly only to return a few hours later.
Below, we’ve selected the best deals we’ve found during Black Friday 2021, with prices from multiple retailers so you can compare and choose. We’ll be adding new deals to the list on a regular basis through Cyber Monday, November 29.

Black Friday is an annual sales event that traditionally happens at the end of November, marking the beginning of the holiday shopping season. The savings event is one of the biggest shopping holidays of the year — sales are so high that the day can push a retailer into “the black,” or solvency.
We’ve been seeing noteworthy price drops for the entire month of November, with all-time lows cropping up more and more as the day gets closer.
When is Black Friday 2021?
Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday falls on November 26. However, we’ve already seen Black Friday-caliber deals pop up in the weeks leading up to the big day.
Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy have already kicked off their Black Friday sales, days before the holiday itself.
What time does Black Friday start?
Technically speaking, Black Friday starts at 12:00 a.m. local time on November 26 for online retailers. However, Black Friday sales start whenever each retailer decides their deals will go live.
A handful of retailers, like Walmart and Amazon, have already begun offering deals for the event.
What time do stores open on Black Friday?
Here are the opening times for the major retailers we’re tracking throughout Black Friday. Keep in mind can shop all the retailers below, plus others like Amazon, around the clock online.
Don’t be fooled by the name that suggests Black Friday is a single day. It’s most definitely not. It’s more like a shopping season that begins in early November.
What should you buy on Black Friday?
Since it falls a few weeks before the gift-giving season, Black Friday provides excellent opportunities to buy and save on all your holiday gifts before the last-minute rush.
It’s nearly guaranteed that you’ll get great value for your money on certain products during Black Friday — but some items tend to see better discounts at other times of the year. If you go in knowing what you’re looking for, you’re less likely to be ripped off by a fancy-looking coupon or to spend money on products you don’t need.
Shoppers can expect tons of great deals — including so-called “doorbusters” — online before and early on in Black Friday. During the event, prices will drop to all-time lows, often beating out prices we see over the course of the year. The sale covers every product category: tech, home and kitchen, fashion, and smart home.
This Black Friday, shoppers should expect to see similar offers to the ones we saw on Amazon Prime Day, except more wide-ranging.
We recommend focusing on the following product categories if you want the best deals:
Historically, Black Friday has been a great time to purchase big-ticket electronics — especially larger TVs. Whether you’re looking for a top-of-the-line Samsung set or LG OLED, or a budget-friendly TCL or Hisense model, Black Friday will likely deliver several deals.
Much like Amazon Prime Day, we saw tons of discounts on smart home products last Black Friday. Amazon Echo products dropped to their lowest prices ever, plus we saw several discounts and bundles on Google’s recently released products.
This Black Friday we expect to see discounts on the latest Xbox and Playstation games. While we didn’t see any markdowns on new consoles last year, we did see a few bundles crop up and we expect more of them in 2021 if retailers are able to secure stock.
If you’re looking for a kitchen upgrade, Black Friday is a great time to shop. We saw big discounts on Instant Pot pressure cookers, KitchenAid appliances, pots and pans, plus everything else you’ll want for the upcoming holiday season.
Of course, the deals found during Black Friday are incredibly wide-ranging. There have also been several deals on diapers, toilet paper, and other household essentials.
For those unfamiliar, Cyber Monday traditionally comes three days after Black Friday, on Monday. However, we’ve seen Black Friday and Cyber Monday slowly merge and expand to a weeklong, or even a month-long affair. Different products receive better discounts on each day, and the deals that each retailer offers will vary.
A good rule of thumb to follow: If you think you see a good deal, (e.g., one we recommend) create the order as soon as possible. While you can always cancel or return a product, it’s impossible to take advantage of an inactive, or expired deal.
Suppose you purchase a discounted product during Black Friday and see a more significant markdown at another retailer come Cyber Monday. Don’t sweat it.
You can ask the original storefront to match the price (some automatically refund you the difference), or you can return or cancel the order, then place a new order with a better price. Some orders won’t even ship during the weekend, which makes it easy to cancel orders.
For those who can shop in-person during Black Friday, we’ve found that it’s better to shop on Black Friday in these situations:
For expensive products
For major stores
For this year’s products
What stores have Black Friday deals?
Outside of a few notable exceptions like REI, nearly every major retailer and direct-to-consumer company is offering markdowns during the event. We’ve seen deals from Walmart, Best Buy, Dell, Amazon, Adorama, Lowe’s, The Home Depot, and more.
As we do every Black Friday, we will be sifting through all of the offers and rounding up the best deals from your favorite retailers.
Last year, we rounded up the best Black Friday deals we could find. Some of the best deals we found discounted many products over 50% with hundreds of dollars in savings. Here are some of the best markdowns we saw last year.
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage and that we’ve either used ourselves or researched carefully.
We’ll compare the prices among top retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart and include only the deals that are better than all others offered (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals will be at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsize value.

Black Friday 2021 is officially live. Today is the day we’ll find the best prices on a huge variety of products, devices, and services across all categories, including tech, home, beauty, kitchen, and more.
It’s typical that supplies are limited for many products with the best deals during Black Friday, which means you could see the dreaded “out of stock” symbol for the product you’d like. For this Black Friday, act fast if you see something you like and if the price is right for you. Still, don’t give up hope, as we’ve out-of-stock products come back in stock during the day.
Black Friday is the sales event’s main day, but the retailers, brands, and companies that are taking part in the event will be offering deals throughout the weekend. Many will be hosting deals during Cyber Monday on November 29, too.

Black Friday is an annual sales event that traditionally happens at the end of November, marking the beginning of the holiday shopping season. The savings event is one of the biggest shopping holidays of the year — sales are so high that the day can push a retailer into “the black,” or solvency.
We’ve been seeing noteworthy price drops for the entire month of November, with all-time lows cropping up more and more as the day gets closer.
When is Black Friday 2021?
Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday falls on November 26. However, we’ve already seen Black Friday-caliber deals pop up in the weeks leading up to the big day.
Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy have already kicked off their Black Friday sales, days before the holiday itself.
What time does Black Friday start?
Technically speaking, Black Friday starts at 12:00 a.m. local time on November 26 for online retailers. However, Black Friday sales start whenever each retailer decides their deals will go live.
A handful of retailers, like Walmart and Amazon, have already begun offering deals for the event.
What time do stores open on Black Friday?
Here are the opening times for the major retailers we’re tracking throughout Black Friday. Keep in mind can shop all the retailers below, plus others like Amazon, around the clock online.
Don’t be fooled by the name that suggests Black Friday is a single day. It’s most definitely not. It’s more like a shopping season that begins in early November.
What should you buy on Black Friday?
Since it falls a few weeks before the gift-giving season, Black Friday provides excellent opportunities to buy and save on all your holiday gifts before the last-minute rush.
It’s nearly guaranteed that you’ll get great value for your money on certain products during Black Friday — but some items tend to see better discounts at other times of the year. If you go in knowing what you’re looking for, you’re less likely to be ripped off by a fancy-looking coupon or to spend money on products you don’t need.
Shoppers can expect tons of great deals — including so-called “doorbusters” — online before and early on in Black Friday. During the event, prices will drop to all-time lows, often beating out prices we see over the course of the year. The sale covers every product category: tech, home and kitchen, fashion, and smart home.
This Black Friday, shoppers should expect to see similar offers to the ones we saw on Amazon Prime Day, except more wide-ranging.
We recommend focusing on the following product categories if you want the best deals:

Black Friday is officially underway and some of the best discounts are available over at Amazon. TVs, kitchen appliances, smart home devices, you name it, are all down to some of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year. Amazon’s huge catalog and willingness to price match competitors makes it one of the best places to find Black Friday deals, especially for Prime members.
Although plenty of deals are expected to carry on through Cyber Monday, snagging a discount sooner rather than later can help you avoid shipping delays and secure hot ticket items like Apple AirPods before they sell out.
Below, we highlighted the best Amazon Black Friday deals available right now. Keep checking back to this page as we’ll be updating it with new deals as often as we can.

Amazon began early Black Friday discounts in October with a series of Epic Daily Deals. Now, the official Black Friday Sale is live and will carry on through Cyber Monday.
What should I buy from Amazon’s Black Friday deals?
Amazon is the everything store — which means if something is on your shopping list, it will likely see a discount during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
We’re already seeing huge discounts on Amazon’s in-house brands, Fire devices, Kindles, and Echo smart home gadgetry that matches what we saw during Prime Day. Plus, we expect to see several of Amazon’s services dramatic markdowns like we saw on Prime Day, tweaked slightly.
On top of that, the sale will encompass every product category Amazon offers, which is to say, everything. Tech, beauty, home and kitchen, fashion, and smart home are some of the categories to be on the lookout for.
Last year, we saw discounts of up to 50% on streaming sticks, voice assistants, headphones, and more.
There are two deal types you should be aware of during Black Friday: daily deals and Lightning deals. The former are one-day offers, usually grouped by brand or category, and change at the end of the day. The latter are limited-time offers, often less than 24 hours, released throughout the day.
Each is limited by stock. So, it’s not unwise to reorganize your shopping behavior; create the order first and agonize about the purchase afterward (you can always cancel the order before it ships without any penalty.)
How we’re selecting the best Amazon Black Friday deals
We only choose products that meet our high standard of coverage, and that we’ve either used ourselves or researched carefully.
We will compare the prices against other retailers like Target and Best Buy and only include the deals that are the same or better (not including promotional discounts that come from using certain credit cards).
All deals are at least 20% off, with the occasional exception for products that are rarely discounted or provide an outsized value.
Do I need to be a Prime member to shop Black Friday at Amazon?
Unlike Prime Day, which requires a Prime subscription, Amazon’s Black Friday sale is open to everyone.
A Prime membership costs $13 a month, or $119 for a full year, which may seem steep, but it’s still completely worth it. Of course, you could sign up for a 30-day trial, or just pay for a month-long membership. (You’re in the window where you can start now, shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and not have to pay for the subscription.) Amazon also offers discounted Prime memberships for a few select groups.
No matter how you spin it, subscribing to Prime is the best way to make the most out of Amazon during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Can I order online and pick up in a store?
Unlike Target, Best Buy, and Walmart, Amazon shoppers are unable to shop at a store.
However, Amazon offers a few ways to ship your orders in addition to the standard two-day shipping, including free same-day shipping (which may be hard to come by during Black Friday), Amazon Day scheduled deliveries, and Amazon Hub Locker pickup, which offers a self-service delivery location, or locker, to pick up and return your orders.
