Consumers are constantly flooded with Black Friday deals this time of year – and while the sales are aplenty, it’s hard to know which ones to pay attention to.
For the deepest discounts, Yahoo Finance has teamed up with Deal News and RetailMeNot to highlight the best of the best.
Best Black Friday TV Deals:
1) This Panasonic TC-50A400U LED HDTVis one of the top doorbuster deals of the season, with a price drop from $549 to $199 in-store only at Best Buy. The specs include a 1080p display as well as a 60Hz refresh rate. The deals start at 5 PM on Thanksgiving Day.
2) If you’re not in the mood to wait in long lines, Amazon.com, will be selling a 50-inch Toshiba LED TV for $199 on Black Friday – dropping more than $300 in price. This is a featured steal among the hundreds of lightning deals released every 10 minutes for eight consecutive days leading up to Black Friday.
3) For the biggest bang for your buck, go to Walmart for their super-sized discount on a Vizio 65-inch 120Hz 1080p LED HDTV. Priced at $648, it’s the lowest price that’s ever been offered for any 65-inch TV, according to DealNews -- even among refurbished TVs. This offer is only available in-store, and while most stores are open 24 hours, Black Friday deals begin at 6 PM on Thanksgiving Day.
4) A top tech pick for Smart TV Deals includes this Samsung 55-inch 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HDTV for $900 – down from $1,399.99. Look for this offer at Best Buy both in-store and online on Thanksgiving Day.
Best Black Friday Laptop Deals:
1) For a budget laptop, Staples is offering this $99 ASUS Intel 11.6-inch laptop.
While it will not be the speediest machine, with only 2GB of RAM and a 32GB embedded multi-media card, you can’t beat the price for a lightweight design and HD display. Find this in-store only, one per customer, from Thursday 6 PM through Saturday.
2) Apple lovers can snag a current generation 2014 Macbook Air for just $780 at Best Buy – nearly $100 off its current price and better than any deal you can score at the Apple store. The same goes for the iPad – to save the most, shop at certified resellers. Several big-box retailers like Target, Staples, and Best Buy are featuring significant sales and additional gift cards upon purchase.
3) Shopping for a brand-name middle-of-the-line laptop? Check out Office Depot’s deal on their HP Pavilion Haswell Core i5 15-inch Laptop for $300 – down from $515. Quantities may be limited, so check online before waiting in line. With mainstream specs at an all-time low price point, it beats DealNews Black Friday predictions by $25.
Best Black Friday Smartphone Deals:
