Best Buy initiated its Black Friday deals ahead of the pack (on Halloween — frightening!), but it’s not the only store in Black Friday mode anymore. Most significant retailers’ early holiday savings are now active, intensifying the competition.
After an exhaustive analysis of Best Buy’s online inventory and verifying its prices, I found that many of its Black Friday deals are being outdone by others. Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, Sony portable speakers, various LG, TCL, and Samsung 4K TVs, and other devices labeled with a “Black Friday deal” are priced at least $1.99 to $70 less at competing stores. (Amazon is usually the main offender.)
Nonetheless, Best Buy is also matching prices on many sought-after items, including Apple laptops, Garmin fitness trackers, gaming laptops, and OLED TVs. Since most individuals lack the time to conduct the same thorough research as a professional shopping reporter, I’ve gathered a selection of the absolute best early Black Friday deals at Best Buy. I’ve included only deals that can’t be found cheaper elsewhere.

Why choose Best Buy over Amazon, Target, or Walmart this holiday season? For one reason, it has a large selection of TVs and laptops that other major retailers do not carry (whether discounted or not). Best Buy is also offering bonus rewards to paid My Best Buy members who spend a certain amount on select items. (For example, if you spend at least $299 on a smartwatch, you’ll receive $30 to use on a future purchase.) Additionally, it is hosting limited-time doorbusters every weekend up to Christmas, typically featuring discounts exceeding 50% on popular products.
Best Apple offer: Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M2, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) available for $649 (discount of $150).
Why we appreciate it: “Students, professionals, and deal seekers looking for an economical MacBook should seriously consider this older-generation M2-powered Apple laptop. Yes, if you can manage to spend an additional $100, you could opt for the new M4 MacBook Air for $749 instead. But every cent matters, and this remains a fully capable laptop with 16GB of RAM. I’m aware of professional video editors still using the M2 chip (on a MacBook Pro, naturally).” — Timothy Beck Werth, Tech Editor
