The Best Deals From Best Buy's Black Friday Sale

Best Buy was the first of the major retailers to announce their plans for Black Friday this year, followed by retailers like Target, Amazon, and Walmart. They also have most of the best deals available so far in terms of quantity. Here is what you can expect from Best Buy this Black Friday and what deals are currently available.

Best Buy’s Black Friday deals have already started

The physical Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving, but they will open the next day for their Black Friday sale. In the meantime:

  • Nov. 17 to Nov. 25: The Black Friday sale starts on Friday, Nov. 17 and lasts until Cyber Monday. This is when you’re likely to find the most items on sale, both online and in-store.

  • Nov. 26 and 27: On Sunday, Nov. 26, Best Buy will kick off their Cyber Monday savings event. This sale will be completely online, as is the case for all Cyber Monday sales.

If you like to go to the store to do your shopping, Best Buy is extending their hours to the following schedule to your local time:

  • Nov. 22: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

  • Thanksgiving, Nov. 23: Closed

  • Black Friday, Nov. 24: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

  • Nov. 25: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Best Black Friday deals at Best Buy right now

Remember that not all deals are as good as they look on paper. I noticed two of their front-page TV deals, the LG 48" Class A2 Series and Insignia™ - 55" Class F30 Series, use the hidden price hike ploy to trick shoppers into thinking they’re getting a better deal than they actually are (both TVs have been about the same low price for most of the second half of the year). You can see their price history from Honey here and here, respectively. Remember always to use price-tracking tools and have a plan for Black Friday to avoid being taken advantage of. The following deals are ones I’ve verified to be, indeed, good deals:

The newest Black Friday deals

The second phase of Best Buy's Black Friday plan started on Friday, Nov. 17. They announced their plans for on a press release with more deals on TVs, headphones, laptops, electric scooters, skincare devices, small appliances and more. Here are some of the best Black Friday deals live right now:

Better Black Friday deals for loyalty members

Best Buy has exclusive deals for their paid loyalty programs that members of My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total can take advantage of. Keep in mind most of those deals will only show their discounted price once you put them on your cart with the “save $X with Plus or Total” option. For example, you can get an extra $50 off on this Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 to match the lowest price it reached during October Prime Day, according to Honey’s price history.

What you can expect this year

Best Buy says you’ll see deals of “up to 50% on top gifts,” specifically during their Cyber Monday Sale. In past years, they’ve done multiple 24-hour “flash sales” similar to the “deal of the day” they have every day. The best sales always have limited quantities and are not guaranteed to get re-stocked. Remember, you can always return it if you find it cheaper at another retailer or even at Best Buy again at a later date.

The price-matching and return policies are different

Best Buy is known for its price-matching policy, where they’ll match the price of most products you find cheaper from a list of other retailers. But between Nov. 17 through Nov. 27 (Cyber Monday), you won’t be able to take advantage of their price-matching policy. However, if you do find a specific product to be cheaper somewhere else during those blackout periods, you can always return it. In fact, they’re extending their return and exchange policy through Jan. 13 for most products (including online) bought between Oct. 27 and Dec. 30.
