We're officially back in Black Friday season, folks.
Though Black Friday falls on Nov. 28 this year, retailers are already kicking off sales. Best Buy dropped early deals and doorbusters on Oct. 31, and Target started its first holiday savings event on Nov. 6. Amazon kicked off its programming on Nov. 20, and Walmart hosted an early sale, but will get back in on the action on Nov. 25. We've spotted plenty of Black Friday-worthy deals that you can shop early to get ahead of your holiday list.

Why we like it
The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 ahead of Black Friday. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Black Friday or Cyber Monday (and we're not counting on it), you still score a great deal without all the chaos of Black Friday shopping.

The Bose QC Ultra headphones have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. Even though Bose recently replaced them with a new Gen 2 model, the originals are still an excellent value for your money — especially at the record low price of $299.

Best early Black Friday robot vacuum deal
$1,299.99 Save $500
Why we like it
Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart sees Narwal's newest robot vacuum mop combo as a dupe for the $1,599.99 Roborock Saros 10R, our favorite robot vacuum of the year. Its edge cleaning is comparable thanks to dual spinning mopping pads that flex out from under the vacuum to scrub in corners and along walls. When mopping, the Freo Z10 Ultra ensures that it does a thorough job by taking a before-and-after picture of the spill, going back for another pass if necessary. The livestream pet camera is a bonus for homes with pets.

Best early Black Friday TV deal
$847.99 Save $300
Why we like it
"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means its uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Why we like it
The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $269.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

Frequently Asked Questions
This year, Black Friday falls on Nov. 28, and as per usual, it starts promptly at midnight on Thanksgiving. However, in the past few years, the biggest big box retailers have started launching their sales weeks in advance of the holiday weekend. In fact, some retailers no longer offer in-store shopping at midnight at all. So, while some doorbusters will only be available on Nov. 28, you can shop most of the deals early.
Cyber Monday takes place on Monday, Dec. 1 in 2025.
This year, the official Amazon Black Friday sale starts on Nov. 20 and runs through Cyber Monday on Dec. 1. However, Amazon will almost certainly save some deals for Black Friday itself. Typically, Amazon puts new deals live at midnight on the West Coast, so if you are shopping on Black Friday, expect Amazon's sale to start at 12:01 PST on Friday, Nov. 28. However, the Everything Store will certainly drop plenty of early deals before then.
For 2025, Walmart has promised to bring back "its biggest lineup of deals — including thousands of gifts under $20 and up to 60% off top-brands." Here's the official schedule for the retailer's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale:
Walmart Black Friday Deals, Event 1: Nov. 14 to 16
Walmart Black Friday Deals, Event 2: Nov. 25-30
Walmart Cyber Monday Deals: Dec. 1
Target kicked off holiday shopping extra early this year, with "special deals dropping daily Nov. 1 through Dec. 24. Each week until Christmas, Target will be launching a new round of deals every Sunday.
If Target launched its Black Friday sale extra early, then Best Buy started its sale extra-extra early. Or, as Best Buy said in a press release, it put the creep in "holiday creep" by launching its sale on Halloween. Here's the full schedule of Best Buy's Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday sales:
Door BOOster sales: Oct. 31
New Best Buy doorbusters every Friday: Starts Oct. 31
Early Black Friday deals: Oct. 31 to Nov. 19
Black Friday Sale: Nov. 20 to 29
Cyber Sunday & Monday: Nov. 30 to Dec. 1
Last-Minute Savings: Dec. 15 to 24
Unfortunately, price matching isn't as common as it used to be. In recent years, Target has been the only major retailer to offer price matching, though even the Bullseye brand has changed things up for Black Friday 2025. (Womp, womp.) This year, Target is offering a Holiday Price Match Guarantee, but only for its own prices. So, if you buy something at Target and the price goes down later in the holiday season, you can contact Target to get the lower price.
