Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here?
It’s like Halloween was yesterday, fall started like maybe 3 weeks ago and now there’s holiday ads and Christmas albums being released? If you’re one to worry about the stress of the holidays, sorry to have to give you yet another warning of the planning, merriment and family fun ahead.
With all of the holiday hoopla incoming, there’s another big day coming our way the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 29 — Black Friday! We’re talking about dynamite deals, we’re talking about big TV’s, we’re talking… you get it. Thankfully, the trend is going toward more and more e-commerce deals rather than long lines and limited stock at brick and mortar locations. You can expect the best deals going on at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and more.
Whether you’ve been thinking about upgrading your devices, tech or home office, Black Friday is the best time to nab some good stuff at can’t-miss prices. We should point out though that all of these deals are subject to being sold out with limited-time deals. So if the stars align, we recommend not sleeping on the good stuff.
We found it prudent to make you a list of some of the hottest deals on Black Friday we’ve spotted for all the enterprising minds out there. All you planner people, you can thank us later for the scout work!
