FULL STORY ====================================================================== The Black Friday deals have already arrived, and while we dont expect the very best deals to land until Black Friday itself on November 28, now is a good time to start your bargain hunting and get prepared for some of the biggest deals. So Im here to give you some things to check off before you go on the hunt, as well as some advice on what to look out for. Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions or additional ideas. Lets get into it. Create a wishlist (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) There are a lot of deals to peruse during this Black Friday period, so one way to not get lost in the deluge of discounts is to have a wishlist of the products you want to get if they get price sliced. Naturally, Id recommend checking out TechRadars own articles, which round up the best Black Friday deals (see below), as well as those that delve into categories like laptops and TVs. But these can also be cross-referenced with your own list to make sure you grab the deal you want and not end up distracted and spending too much. Check these deals out now I'm a Black Friday expert here are 15 early US deals worth adding to your cart right now Shop early deals at Walmart Best Buy expands its Black Friday sale with dozens of new deals I've picked the 17 top offers on headphones, laptops, TVs, and more I review TVs for a living, and these are 9 of the best Black Friday OLED TV deals you'll see this year The best Black Friday deals in the UK I've hand-picked 50+ offers on appliances, TVs, laptops, headphones, and more Black Friday Kindle deals 2025: when they start and what to expect Set a budget (Image credit: NATNN / Shutterstock) Speaking of spending, setting a budget is a wise thing to do when shopping for Black Friday deals. It can be tempting to snap up that air fryer or soundbar youve suddenly seen discounted. But if its not on your list, and youve not budgeted for it, then it might be a deal worth passing by. Feel free to contact the TechRadar experts if you want some advice on what to buy and what to avoid, or wait until the next sales event. Sign up for Amazon Prime (Image credit: Shutterstock / Ascannio) An Amazon Prime membership has a lot of perks, not least of all is speedy delivery, but its also a way to score extra discounts on products sold via Amazon. Id say it's a must-have for Black Friday, especially if you want to rapidly grab a nice bit of tech yourself, like a pair of our best wireless earbuds, or want a fast way to do some Holiday shopping. The neat trick here is to sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime before Black Friday, so you can take advantage of the perks. And if you dont feel the service is for you, you can cancel it before the trial ends and not have to swallow the full cost of a monthly or yearly membership. Amazon Prime | Sign up for a 30-day free trial You can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime and enjoy all the perks such as free two-day shipping, entertainment, exclusive deals, and more. You can cancel at any time, and your account must have a current, valid credit card to begin the free trial. View Deal Sign up for Walmart Plus (Image credit: Walmart) Speaking of memberships, and one for US readers, Id recommend signing up to Walmart Plus. Like Amazon Prime, it offers a lot of perks, from free shipping and access to Paramount+ , but it also offers access to exclusive deals from the retailer. Whats more, for a limited time, theres 50% off a Walmart Plus membership, which brings its annual cost down to $49; thats a solid deal in and of itself, and one Senior Deals Editor Mackenzie Frasier wholeheartedly backs. Walmart Plus: save 50% on an annual Walmart Plus membership For a limited time, you can save 50% on an annual Walmart Plus membership, which brings the price down to just $49 a year. Walmart Plus perks include free shipping with no minimum order, a free Paramount+ or Peacock subscription, discounts on gas, and early access to sales. View Deal Subscribe to the TechRadar Deals newsletter (Image credit: TechRadar) This year, TechRadar is running a deal-centric newsletter, where we will flag some of the best deals weve seen, including ones that make for great impulse buys. And while our website will hardly be empty of deals, this newsletter will give you a nice curated selection of deals we can thoroughly recommend, so do check it out . Watch out for scams (Image credit: Getty Images / Peter Dazeley) Unfortunately, the Black Friday deals period can be used by scammers to trick people out of their cash. Id suggest using TechRadar's deals guides and roundups to be sure youre scoring a deal from a legitimate source. But Id also recommend being very vigilant in what youre buying and where it's from. Do be cautious of clicking on links served up in emails and social media from less-than-trustworthy sources, and do remember youre likely safer buying from the big-name retailers than niche online ones. Look for price comparisons (Image credit: CamelCamelCamel) Tools like CamelCamelCamel can help give you a clear idea of what the price of a product was historically and if its discounted price is indeed a bargain. The TechRadar Deals team and I use CamelCamelCamel a lot, and well make sure to point out if a product has hit its lowest-ever price in our articles. Its handy to be smart about this, as the likes of Amazon do have a habit of showing an article's original RRP and then its discounted price, which could make a deal look more attractive than it actually is, given that said products may have been previously selling at a discounted price anyway.
