2023 Black Friday Preview

A Sneak Peak At This Year's Best Deals

Black Friday will be taking place on November 24 this year, however deals will likely start much sooner. Many big ticket items will be going on sale as well as things like Satellite & Internet Bundles. You’ll want to know the best cell phone deals to switch carriers, such as Boost Infinite, if you can finally get the iphone 15 that you’ve had your eye on, or any Laptop Deals for the student in your life.

1. Headphones and earbuds

Apple Airpods Pro (2nd gen) recently got a refresh with USB-C and adaptive audio, so a deal on these are expected for Black Friday this year. There will likely also be deals on Sony, Beats, and Samsung headphones, as well as those expensive noise canceling headphones you’ve been saving up for.

2. Gaming consoles

Gaming consoles are the most common holiday gifts and also the most expensive. Black Friday is the perfect time to look out for deals on the PS5, XBox, or Nintendo Switch. The best discounts for consoles are usually in a bundle deal.

3. Video games

A great addition to the gaming console are discounted video games. They generally tend to come in BOGO deals and some video games, like many for Nintendo Switch, can go down to under $30.

4. PCs and laptops

The best time to buy a laptop or desktop computer is during Black Friday. Many manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo will have their own special deals on, but many online retailers, like Walmart or Amazon, will offer discounts from any brand.

5. TVs

In recent years, the cost of getting a TV has decreased significantly, however this is still the best time to purchase one if you’re looking. TVs like the LG C2 OLED went down in price last year and can be expected to do the same this year. Look out for deals from Samsung, Sony, Vizio, LG, and TCL for the best sound and picture quality in your TV.

6. Phones

This fall, Apple dropped its newest phone, the iPhone 15. You can expect lots of deals on this phone as many different mobile carriers will be offering phone plans and upgrades at discounted prices. It’s also a great time to purchase an older iPhone if you don’t necessarily want the latest model.

7. Tablets and e-readers

If you’re looking for a reading tablet for under $100, there will be great deals with Kindle during the Black Friday season.

8. Vacuums

During last year’s Black Friday sale, Dyson took 50% off the popular Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum, so we can expect a similar deal this year. You can also look out for discounts on other brands, like Shark, or Roomba for robot vacuum cleaners.

9. Kitchen appliances

A Nespresso machine, Thermoworks Thermapen, or KitchenAid mixer are generally quite expensive, so the best time to shop for them is during Black Friday. Last year, the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series was $170 off.

10. Toys

Whether you are looking for a classic board game or a new LEGO set, Black Friday will have amazing deals on toys this year. Make sure to look out for Barbie dolls, action figures or Nerf guns, too.
