Buy Now: Holiday Decor

You can already score lots of deals on holiday decor, with plenty of time for shipping. We’re already seeing Black Friday-worthy discounts on Christmas trees, 2023 Advent calendars, and outdoor holiday decorations. Make sure you score this 4’ Potted Porch Tree while it’s still in stock!

Wait For Black Friday: Clothing and Shoes

We love Amazon’s clothing and shoe deals, especially on their own brands like The Drop and Amazon Essentials. However, the biggest discounts on clothing and shoes are around Black Friday, where you’ll find especially good deals on boots, outerwear, and handbags. Our Black Friday shopping tip: Brands like The North Face, Patagonia, Nike, Under Armour, and Coach save their best pricing for November. 

Buy Now: Groceries & Household Items

We’re still seeing lots of great deals on groceries and household items that match October’s Prime Day prices. If you are looking to stock up on snacks, drinks, toilet paper, or cleaning supplies, don’t bother waiting until Black Friday. You can already get deals on brands like Keebler, Charmin, Hefty, and Gatorade that you won’t see on Black Friday. 

Wait for Black Friday: Bedding & Bath

Bedding discounts always get better on Black Friday. Wait until mid-November and you’ll score huge savings on comforter sets, bath towels, and cold-weather bedding during Black Friday sales. The best way to shop online for Black Friday is to check out the sales that start the week of Thanksgiving. You’ll get the best selection before items sell out, but at Black Friday prices. 

Buy Now: Toys

It may sound strange, but there are unbelievably good toy deals at Amazon leading up to Black Friday, and many of them drop to prices so low that they’ll sell out well before the holidays. Finding the best deals requires a lot of research, but some of our favorites right now include this Large Lego Classic Building Box, the newest Furby, Ninja Turtle Figurines, and these Leapfrog Learning Books.

Wait For Black Friday: Tech

You should definitely wait for Black Friday to score your iPad, Airpods, Fire tablets, and more. We saw big price drops at their Prime deal event in October, but now Amazon will wait until Black Friday to offer better prices. You’ll start to see the best discounts during the week of Thanksgiving, and make sure you check out the Amazon deals on Cyber Monday!
