Here are the best Black Friday deals on Amazon as of Nov. 22:
After a weird, month-and-a-half-long limbo period following its rescheduled Prime Day event, Amazon’s 2020 Black Friday sale is officially, finally on.
The first of the online retailer’s holiday discounts went live at midnight EST on Friday, Nov. 20, and its sale continues through Black Friday proper on Nov. 27 (with a few deals carrying over to Cyber Monday, probably). Bear in mind that daily deals will be dropping all week long, with some scheduled to run a mere 24 hours or while supplies last. (Spoiler: There’s no way the new Nintendo Switch system bundle will stick around for long — same with the AirPods Pro, especially if Amazon manages to match Walmart’s $169 deal.) Keep the site’s Black Friday landing page open in a tab and be ready to pounce when something on your shopping list gets a decent price drop.
Without any further ado, here’s a master list of the best Black Friday deals we’ve seen on Amazon so far. (We’ll keep updating this list as its sale continues, so be sure to check back often.)
