The best Early Black Friday deals handpicked by our experts

I’ve been covering Black Friday sales for Wirecutter since 2016, sifting through hundreds of thousands of bombastic deals and navigating seas of mediocre “blowout” TV deals.

And while the official date for this mega-event is still the day after Thanksgiving (November 29 this year), something else has become clear: Sales are growing in length. Early Black Friday discounts start weeks before the event, as early as October.

The ever-growing sales dynamics make it even more important to take an informed approach. Knowing what you can cross off your list early and what items you should wait to buy has never been harder.

That’s why we check the pre-holiday sale prices on our expert-recommended gear so thoroughly. Below, we’ve highlighted only the best early Black Friday discounts on Wirecutter’s picks so you can do your holiday shopping without fear of getting a bad price on a bad product.
