We’re officially back in Black Friday season, folks.

Though Black Friday falls on Nov. 28 this year, retailers are already kicking off sales. Best Buy dropped early deals and doorbusters on Oct. 31, and Target started their first holiday savings event on Nov. 6. Even though retailers like Walmart and Amazon haven’t kicked off any programming yet (you can expect that to start on Nov. 14 and Nov. 20, respectively), we’ve spotted plenty of Black Friday-worthy deals that you can shop early to get ahead of your holiday list.

Keep checking back for the best Black Friday deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Best early Black Friday Apple deal

Why we like it

The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 ahead of Black Friday. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Black Friday or Cyber Monday (and we’re not counting on it), you still score a great deal without all the chaos of Black Friday shopping.
