Amazon is officially kicking off its Black Friday sales. From now through Nov. 29, the retailer is offering notable deals on giftable tech, beauty essentials, kitchen appliances and more, many of which run through Cyber Monday. Amazon joins several retailers currently offering their best prices of the season (and many items at their lowest price ever).
I’ve been covering Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals as an editor at NBC Select for over four years. To find the best early Black Friday deals on Amazon, I combed through sales actually worth shopping for right now on the site. I’ll frequently update this list in the coming weeks with new deals and the most recent prices.
