- Black Friday is one of the craziest
shopping days each and every year.
People are always looking for deals.
People are always wondering
what's a good deal and what to avoid.
So, in this video, I'm gonna bring you
the best Black Friday deals that I've been able to find,
focusing on consumer electronics.

Like I said, Black Friday is always huge.
People are always looking for the best deals.
People wanna get the biggest TV
for the smallest amount of money,
and there are so many purported deals out there
that people don't realize may not be good deals
in the long run.
So, I'm here to answer the questions
I've been seeing on Twitter, people asking me
"what are some of the best Black Friday deals?"
What are some deals that I've seen
that you may wanna pick up?
I figured I'd do a video to answer that question
and this is that video.
So, I made a list, got the list right here on my phone,
some of the best Black Friday deals that I've found.
I'm gonna go through the list, I've organized it by store.
So things like Amazon or Target, Best Buy, et cetera.
I'll go through each store but before I do that,
I have some general deals that
pretty much everybody is offering
that I think you should take a look at.
Before I get into the deals,
I wanted to tell you about Earny.
Earny is an easy way to get money back on your purchases.
What they do is they monitor your purchases
for about 90 days and if you buy something
and the price drops later,
Earny will claim the difference for you
and get you that refund.
So, if you buy something for $1000
and it drops to $900, that's $100 difference.
Earny gets you that $100 back by actively monitoring,
not only your purchases
but the prices on each thing that you purchased.
I'll leave a link down below in the description.
If you wanna try Earny, it's free,
and if you use that link, they will drop $5
into your Earny account so you're gonna start off
with some money right off the bat.
Now, let's get into these deals,
starting with the ones that are applicable everywhere.
The ones that I think are best are,
first of all, Xbox One S.
If you wanna get a cheap video game console,
that also has a 4K blu-ray player built-in,
this is a tremendous deal.
The Xbox One S, not the new Xbox One X, the One S.
It's gonna be on sale for $189 for Black Friday.
That is way down from its typical $249 price point.
So, if you're looking for a game console,
with backwards compatibility and
a 4K blu-ray player built in, Xbox One S is the one.
If you're more of a PlayStation person,
you can get the one terabyte PlayStation 4 Slim,
for $199 on Black Friday.
Next up, I told you about the deals
on the LG OLED TV lineup.
Two that stick out to me are,
number one, the 55 inch OLED B7A.
That's the entry level OLED but all of their displays
have the same display technology,
so whether you entry level or high-end,
you're getting the same actual display panel.
$1499, $1500 to get a 55 inch OLED,
and this OLED won both the best HDR TV
and best gaming TV in the U.K. TV shoot-out.
So, that's crazy.
If you need a bigger TV, the 65 inch LG OLED B7A,
so the same series, just a larger version, is $2299.
$2299, $2300 bucks for a 65 inch OLED.
So, those four deals, the PS4, the Xbox One S,
and those two OLEDs, you should be able to get anywhere,
and you may even find better pricing on those OLEDs,
because some retailers are even undercutting
on typical Black Friday pricing.
Next, let's go to Amazon.
Amazon has a bunch of stuff on sale for Black Friday.
I went and picked out the things that I think are actually,
good deals that will last and that will probably be
the best prices you'll find on this stuff,
rather than just things that had
slight price differences on it.
So, let's start with some of the Amazon devices.
The best price, lowest price ever on the Amazon Echo dot.
If you wanna start getting into Smart Home technology,
the Echo dot you can pick up on Black Friday for $29.99.
That is the cheapest price it's ever been on sale for,
and the typical price on that is $49.99.
You're saving 20 bucks on the Echo dot.
Other, Echo devices, the new Amazon Echo,
which they just released, is down to $79.99 for Black Friday
down from $99.99, save you 20 bucks.
The Fire HD 10 is also $99.99, you're saving $50 there,
that's usually a $149 tablet.
The Kindle Paperwhite is $89.99,
you're saving $30 there if you need a dedicated e-reader,
and the Amazon Fire TV stick,
the streaming stick you plug in to your TV
to access your streaming apps.
That is going down to $24.99.
That's usually a $40 item so, 25 bucks, not bad.
A few other deals on Amazon stuck out to me.
Let me go over those real quick.
70 inch Sony 4K Smart TV.
If you want a Smart TV, you want it in 4K,
you want it to be large, 70 inch is not bad.
You can pick that up for $1199.
So, 1200 bucks for a 70 inch.
It's an LED TV, it's not OLED.
It's an LED TV, but if you want something cheap and big,
that's a good one to consider.
If you just want something cheap and not big,
and you don't care about 4K, 32 inch, 720p TV for $69.99.
$70 and you can get a 720p 32 inch TV.
I'm gonna leave links to everything
down in the description below.
Amazon will also have $100 off the PS VR,
PlayStation VR bundles, 100 bucks off there.
30% of the Segway Mini Pro 2018 model.
Those are like the hover boards you saw,
but they're not gonna blow up.
They are made by a more reputable company
and they're easier to ride, Segway Mini Pro,
if you need a new gift or
you just want one to ride to work.
And then $30 off the Anki Cozmo,
which is a STEM-based toy.
If you have kids in your life, that's a good one,
and 30 bucks off, it's a good deal.
So, again, you're gonna find a lotta deals on Amazon.
Those are the ones that I thought stood out to me as being
the top tier of their Black Friday deals.
Let's move on to Best Buy.
See what Best Buy's got going on.
First, solenoid speakers.
This also may be one you may be able to find at other places
but you can get the Sonos PLAY:1,
the PLAY:3, or the new Sonos One,
which has Alexa built in to the actual Sonos unit.
Those are all $50 off.
Sonos rarely has sales, it's one of those products
that kinda stays at the price, the retail price,
that it's released at, so to see deals on Sonos products,
is good and Sonos products are fantastic.
The sound is great, they work really well.
The Sonos PLAYBAR, $100 off.
So, if you need a great soundbar for your TV,
that also plays pretty much any streaming music service
you can think of, then PLAYBAR is fantastic,
$100 off there at Best Buy.
If you want a camera, the Canon 80D DSLR, $1299.
That is $300 off the typical retail price.
You're saving a nice chunk of change,
if you want a DSLR with a Canon 80D.
TV's: Sharp's 50 inch, 4K LED TV,
it has Roku built-in, so it's a Smart TV.
Instead of buying a Roku set-top box,
all that is built-in to the TV set, $179.99.
That's usually a $500 TV, it's pretty well reviewed,
50 inch Smart TV with Roku, 180 bucks.
The Harmonics Dropmix game,
if you haven't seen Dropmix, this game is amazing.
It's a card game with a board,
and you place cards onto the board.
It reads the cards and it plays different music tracks,
popular music you've heard on the radio,
and laying out the different cards in different ways,
mixes the cards like you're a DJ.
It's a multi-player game, very fun,
down to $60 at Best Buy for Black Friday.
There's a Samsung wireless fast charger for $25.
Not a bad price, Samsung usually charges twice as much
for their wireless chargers,
and wireless charging is all the rage.
If you know someone that just got one of the new phones,
whether it's a new iPhone 8, iPhone 10,
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
Not the Pixels, the Pixels don't have wireless charging,
but pretty much any other flagship phone does.
If you need a wireless charger,
Samsung's fast wireless charger at 25 bucks is a good deal.
Then there's the Google Chromecast for $20.
You can pick up a Chromecast for 20 bucks
from Best Buy on Black Friday, not bad.
Let's move on to Walmart.
There's a very interesting deal at Walmart,
that I have to explain.
You can get a Google Home Mini for $4.
Now, it's not just $4 right out the box,
but what Walmart is doing is price matching.
So, you can price match at Walmart.
The $29 that other retailers are selling the
Google Home Mini for on Black Friday.
Retailers like Target, for example.
But then, if you buy one, you're gonna get a $25
discount on a future Walmart order through Google Express.
So, you're basically gonna buy it for 29 bucks,
they're gonna give you a $25 coupon to use it later.
Basically, giving you the Google Home Mini for $4,
if the math works out for you the way it works out for me.
Five quart instant pot lux.
If you like cooking, the instant pot is crazy,
it's amazing, it's a great piece of technology, kitchen tech
You can pick one up on Black Friday from Walmart
for $49, 50 bucks for the five quart instant pot luxe,
that is a great deal.
The Netgear Arlo three pack of security cameras.
Netgear Arlo is well-known in the security camera game,
smart home security cameras.
The three pack you can pick up for $200.
Not a bad price for three smart security cameras.
Let's move on to Target.
Again, I'm only giving you the best three to five
things I find in each place.
I don't want to inundate you with deals
that aren't really a tremendous value.
Target: Google Home Mini for 29 bucks,
instead of doing the price match with Walmart
and using the coupon in the future,
you can get the Google Home Mini from Target for 29 bucks
and they'll give you a $10 Target gift card
when you check out.
So you'll basically be getting it,
essentially for $19 for the Google Home Mini.
They also have 30% off Lego sets.
Lego sets are one of the rare things that rarely go on sale.
They typically keep their prices.
They usually sell out and they're hard to find.
Usually you have to go through a reseller,
and pay more than the retail price.
Target has five different sets,
five different popular sets that are down by up to 30% off.
And then, this is a general deal at Target,
if you spend $50, at checkout,
you will get a 20% discount on a future shopping trip.
That's not a 20% discount on one item,
that's 20% discount on your full check out,
everything in your cart.
There are some exclusions of what you can get for 20% off,
some, very few exclusions though.
Things like game consoles and things like that,
but ultimately, if you shop at Target anyway,
on the regular, that's a good deal.
Spend $50, get 20% off your next shopping trip.
And the last one on my list is Kohl's.
Kohl's usually has some interesting tech deals
during Black Friday and I did find a few.
The first is the Samsung 55 inch 4K Smart TV, UN55MU6290.
That's a mouthful but just note,
this is a well reviewed TV that usually costs $700.
So, it's a well reviewed, budget TV,
budget Smart TV 4K resolution.
Kohl's is selling that $700 TV for $499,
so you're already getting 200 bucks off.
They're also giving you $150 in Kohl's cash,
which obviously you can just spend at Kohl's,
you can't use that elsewhere,
and they're giving you $25 Yes2You rewards as well.
So, basically, you're walking away with this TV,
for 325 bucks when all of the discounts are considered,
and that is a $700 TV.
So that might be the place to go,
if you want a good deal on a TV.
They also have the DJI Spark Mini Quadcopter drone,
they've marked it down to 399 bucks but they're also
giving you $120 in Kohl's cash on top of that discount
and 20 bucks in Yes2You rewards, again.
So you're walking away with the DJI Spark Mini Quadcopter
for about 280 bucks after all the discounts
are taken into consideration.
There's the Echo dot, 30 bucks, $29.99,
with $15 in Kohl's cash,
So, you get an Echo dot for $15, not bad.
And then the Google Home, the regular Google Home,
not the mini, which usually sells for 129 bucks,
they're marking it down to $80,
and giving you $15 in Kohl's cash as well.
So, 65 bucks to pick up the $129 Google Home,
and that's at Kohl's, and that's pretty much it.
Those are my deals.
Those are the deals that stuck out to me for Black Friday,
for the everyday consumer.
TV's, different sorts of electronics,
and things you can pick up as gifts for people
at a good discounted price.
