A Huge List of Sales: The 25 Best Black Friday Deals

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers

You may have noticed some posts from our friends at the Strategist on the Cut. They’ll be dropping in every now and again, sharing their expertise on the basics you don’t have time to research and the weird and wonderful things you don’t yet know you need.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed: Black Friday deals are here, and they are plentiful. I’ve been rounding up the best of them in my big hub of Black Friday deals for a few weeks now, but today I’m bringing you an extra-curated selection. Below are the few dozen deals that I think are definitely worth shopping before next week.

I started with the best sellers so far. Strategist readers have been clicking away at all the good Nordstrom Black Friday deals — and I can’t say I blame them, because the discounts and product variety are excellent. And a lot more items were added yesterday, so there’s even more to choose from.

Then, I pulled in the deals from my early Black Friday deals roundup that I personally think are your best bests so far, including a $26 cashmere beanie and the just-released Amazon Kindle. And to top everything off, I scrolled through our archives and best-in-class guides to see if any items were discounted, like a supremely fluffy blanket that’s one of our best under-$200 picks. The result: the top 25 deals to shop right now.

As always, make sure to sign up for the new Strategist Sales Alert newsletter to receive each day’s best deals in your inbox. And if you want even more deals, sign up for our regular email newsletter, which includes deals just for newsletter subscribers.
