The biggest shopping day of the year is almost here and Covid has changed the way the deals are offered. You can actually score many of the best Black Friday deals NOW from the comfort of your own home! Keep in mind this year that Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Kohl’s are keeping their stores closed on Thursday so workers can celebrate with their families. It’s even more important to save with the price of everything going up!
Walmart:
Walmart has many of their best Black Friday deals available online right now. . Stores will open at 5 AM on Friday.
The deals I haven’t been able to find in stock online and you may want to get up early for in-store are as follows (please keep in mind quantities are limited):
A 70-inch Onn 4K Smart TV with Roku for $398.
A Series 3 Apple Watch for $109, usually $199.
You don’t have to wait to buy these deals (I highly recommend buying online before they’re gone):
Head over here to pick up a big 8-quart Instant Pot for $59.
Head over here to have a highly rated Vizio 70-inch Vizio Smart TV for $498. Looks like this one is sold out for shipping but still available to order and pick up in locations where it’s in stock.
This might be the most helpful deal, head over here to pick up an Otterbox Defender Series Pro for $19, usually around $50 (this really will save your iPhone if you’re prone to dropping it).
Head over here to score an iRobot Roomba Self Empty Robot for $349, usually $599.99. Now someone needs to figure out how to invent a robot to do the dishes and laundry!
And lots more!
Target:
I called the Target close to me and they’ll open at normal time on Friday. There aren’t any deals you’ll be able to only get in-store, so it’s a good idea to get shopping now! They also offer a price match guarantee.
Deals I love:
The Hyperice Hypervolt GO is on sale here for $159, usually $199. If you have an athlete at home, this is fantastic for sore muscles!
The Keurig K-Mini is on sale here for $49.99, usually $89.99 in your choice of colors.
Probably my favorite deal from Target this year is the 5 quart KitchenAid Stand Mixer for $219.99, usually $429.99. Head over here to pick up yours before the price goes up!
Target is a fantastic place to shop for toys…the Razor Kick Scooter is $20 through this link, usually almost $30, and less expensive than I’ve found anywhere else so far.
If your child wants a hoverboard, Target has the Jetson Sync All Terrain Dynamic Sound model on sale for $99.99 here, usually $159.99!
Lego sets are on sale for up to 40% off here.
I love giving board games as gifts, head over here to check out the options on sale for HALF OFF! Settlers of Catan is $22, usually $44, the Monopoly Target Edition is $12.49, usually $24.99, and more!
Best Buy:
Best Buy will be closed on Thursday and open at 5 AM on Friday. They say their Black Friday deals are available now but they will offer an extra $50 Beats Studio Buds on Thursday online while supplies last.
They have extra savings on Apple computers, you can head over here to get a MacBook Pro for up to $500 off.
If you love giving movies, they have Christmas blu rays on sale here for as low as $5.99!
Kohl’s:
Black Friday deals are going on NOW at Kohl’s! Right now you’ll earn an extra $15 in Kohl’s cash to use later for every $50 you spend. You’ll also get 15% off with promo code ENJOY15.
Some of my favorite finds:
The Big One Oversized Throw blankets are just $8.49 with code ENJOY15 through this link, usually $26.99. These are so soft, make great gifts, and come in lots of different colors and patterns.
They are updating their Black Friday deals all the time and are matching many other stores’ advertised prices (but not all)! You may want to check their price for whatever you’re buying before you purchase.
Other tips:
Go through Rakuten (formerly Ebates). Go through my referral link here and you’ll get a $40 bonus after your $40 purchase. The way it works is you search for the store you want to shop, click “shop now” and get a percentage back in your Rakuten account (they mail a check a couple of times a year). Right now they’re offering 10% back from JCPenney, Nike, Gap, and many other great stores! To put it simply, stores pay a percentage to affiliates for talking about their products and Rakuten gives back a huge part of that to you. The savings definitely add up.
Shop local!
I’m so excited about some of the hot gift card deals around town. Right now if you buy $100 in gift cards to Upward Projects which includes Postino, Windsor, Churn, Federal Pizza, and Joyride Tacos, you’ll get a $30 bonus (bonus card must be redeemed by March 31st of next year)!
Keep checking my site this holiday season, I am focused on helping us all “live life better for less” this year!
Enjoy!
