Amazon’s early Black Friday deals are live, with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select down to $21.99 from an advertised $49.99, one of the sharpest streaming-device prices of the season so far. The deal is part of a 24-product early roundup tracked by Gizmosum, with prices checked on the morning of November 11 and subject to change.
Smart home devices dominate the early list. The Blink Mini 2K+ camera is $15.99, down from $39.99, the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K is $39.99 against $99.99, and the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ is $30.99 from $69.99. An LG 48-inch OLED evo C6 television is listed at $999.99, down from $1,199.99, and ASICS Sonicblast running shoes are $89.95 against $180.
Main event starts November 19
Amazon’s main Black Friday event is scheduled to begin on November 19, with Cyber Monday promotions continuing through November 30, Gizmosum reported. That gives shoppers two waves: the early deals live now, and the main event in eight days. Yesterday’s ReportRig post noted the Fire TV Stick 4K at $25; today’s $21.99 price is for the Select model, a cheaper stick, so buyers should check which version they are getting before assuming a further cut.
Buy now or wait?
Deal trackers generally advise buying an item already at a record or near-record price rather than gambling on a deeper cut that may never come, especially for popular items that sell out. Prices on Amazon can move several times a day, so the listed price is only good while stock lasts. Shoppers should also check the return window, which matters more than usual for electronics bought weeks before Christmas.
Kitchen and home deals are running alongside the electronics. KitchenAid is featuring early Black Friday deals of up to 30% off through November 11, according to The Kitchn, while Our Place is saving up to 45% sitewide until November 30 and Williams Sonoma is offering up to 50% off brands including All-Clad, Le Creuset and Staub. The Company Store is offering 50% off sitewide until November 19 with the code BFDEALS26, and Kohl’s is running clearance deals with the code GOSAVE20 for 20% off. The breadth of the sales is the point: Black Friday is no longer a single day of television deals, but a month of discounts across almost every category in the home.
