Best Buy's Black Friday sale is already in full swing, because screw the calendar

Share This Post

UPDATE: Nov. 10, 2021, 2 p.m. EST This story has been updated to include the latest live deals from Best Buy’s pre-Black Friday sale.

Best Buy is having multiple Black Friday sales events throughout the holiday shopping season, all ahead of the official Black Friday sale, which kicks off a week early on Nov. 19. (Deep breaths.)

And the electronics retailer’s second (third? Who knows anymore) pre-Black Friday sale is here.

All deals will be covered by a new “Black Friday Price Guarantee” that Best Buy’s discounts won’t get any better before the big day — so you know you’re getting the best deal possible no matter when you shop. (If a better price does crop up for some reason, Best Buy will automatically refund the difference for My Best Buy and Best Buy Totaltech members; non-members can get reimbursed by visiting their local store or contacting its customer care team about a price match.)

Best Buy says its decision to basically rewrite the October and November calendars is meant to “help [customers] get the goods early.” Our take? It’s to get a jump on what’s expected to be a huge holiday shopping season, but mostly an attempt to avoid those supply chain disruptions affecting everything from computer chips to chicken wings.

This week’s sale features hundreds of markdowns on “the season’s hottest tech,” including $150 off a 70-inch Samsung 4K smart TV, $180 off the matte black Beats Studio3 headphones, and Chromebooks as cheap as $102. We’ve rounded up some of the highlights below:

Apple TV 4K 32GB — $129.99 (save $30)

Let’s be real: Smart TV hubs aren’t the most intuitive or the most user-friendly. Access all your streaming apps and sites on one aesthetically pleasing interface with an Apple TV. It’ll give you a 4K HDR picture boost, Dolby Atmos fueled sound, AirPlay mirroring, and Siri voice control for hands-free streaming.

iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum — $599.99 (save $200)

This is close to the lowest price we’ve seen on the Roomba i7+ (we’ve seen it at $250 off before) — and Best Buy is one of the only retailers that currently has them in stock (the i7+ is out of stock at Amazon except for used models). With WiFi connectivity, voice assistant compatibility, and a self-emptying base, you’ll basically never need to lift a finger in your home again (at least when it comes to cleaning the floors).
