News Update: Nov. 28, 2024, 5:00 a.m. EST – Amazon’s Black Friday extravaganza was officially launched on Thursday, Nov. 21. This article provides an updated review of the sale duration and introduces new bargains on Instant Pots, Dyson and Shark beauty tech gadgets, and additional markdowns on already discounted items such as Beats headphones.

This year, Amazon seems to be playing a strategic game. Its Black Friday event, which was announced later than other major retailers, officially began on Thursday, Nov. 21. For those who follow Black Friday trends, you’ll know that a sale commencing a week before Thanksgiving is not unusual. By this time, other retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, and Target had already launched their Black Friday deals.

Despite this, any seasoned Black Friday shopper would know that the absence of official Black Friday terminology doesn’t equate to a lack of early Black Friday offers. Throughout November, Amazon had been subtly offering significant discounts on main category products including robot vacuums, Apple products, and Fire TVs. However, since the official Amazon Black Friday sale started after the post-October Prime Day period, expect the deals to become more impressive.

In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, we’ll be keeping an eye on all the notable deals and updating our list of Amazon discounts daily, as that’s how frequently Amazon is introducing new deals. It’s advisable to also monitor our coverage of other large retailers to see how their deals match up to Amazon’s. Walmart, Best Buy, and Target are also offering great deals, and it’s worth considering the variety of discounts available. Another savvy shopping trick is to use the Amazon price history tracker Camelcamelcamel to check if the current offer is a good one, or add the item to your wishlist to be notified as soon as it goes on sale.

To help you navigate through the sea of deals, we’ve marked all newly added or updated deals with a ✨. Deals that are struck-through either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a 🔥has dropped to a record-low price.

In addition to providing the best Black Friday deals for Kindle, Echo, Fire Tablet, robot vacuum, TV, Apple products, headphones, fitness trackers, and kitchen appliances, we also have some great offers on beauty tech products.
