Best Buy

Holiday has arrived!

Best Buy announces earlier Black Friday, guarantees Black Friday prices

October 14, 2021

Dust off those stockings, the holidays are officially here. Best Buy is giving you all the secrets to having the most successful gift-giving season ever. (Hint: start your shopping now.) We’ve thrown out the old holiday calendar and created a whole new one to help you score the hottest tech at the best deals.


Black Friday deals start Oct. 19

Kicking off Tuesday, Oct. 19, and running through Friday, Oct. 22, we’ll have hundreds of our Black Friday deals available on the season’s hottest tech, including everything from headphones to laptops and more. Need some gift idea inspiration to get you started? We’ve got it handled with gift ideas for everyone on your list.

Here’s a first look at a few of the hottest deals:

* $599 for a Samsung 70-inch 4K Smart TV (save $150)
* $169 for Beats Studio 3 headphones in matte black (save $180)
* Chromebooks as low as $99
* Windows laptops as low as $189.99
* Save up to $540 on Samsung appliances


Black Friday Price Guarantee with automatic reimbursement

Still thinking you should hold off on adding to cart? We’ve got you covered. All of the deals in our Oct. 19 sale are covered by our Black Friday Price Guarantee, which means the price won’t go lower before Black Friday. If it does, we’ll automatically refund our My Best Buy and Best Buy Totaltech members the difference.[1] No need to email or show us your receipt, just money back in your pocket.

If the price goes lower before Black Friday and customers are not a member of My Best Buy or Best Buy Totaltech, they can still be reimbursed by visiting their local store or contacting our Best Buy customer care team and requesting a price match under our Price Match Guarantee.[2]


Black Friday begins Nov. 19 this year

While we’ll have Black Friday deals available multiple times throughout the season, another way we’re helping you get the goods early is by recreating the November calendar. At Best Buy, Black Friday starts a week early, on Friday, Nov. 19. As usual, we’ll have thousands of deals on the tech at the top of your list.

Last year about this time I bought an inexpensive Motorola smartphone with enough Tracfone months to last me until two weeks ago. (Thanks again, Monkey!)

So I am now in the market for another one (regardless of carrier), unless someone finds a super-cheap Tracfone deal.

Please let me know!

Did you get the Moto E6?

I'll be tracking them again this year, though I don't need one. My E6 is still going strong.

Well, well, well, no Best Buy ad this year. What's up with that? Enjoy slogging through countless pages looking for the deals, something I have no intention of doing. As a result, Best Buy's BF post won't contain any deals.

I think about Oct. 5 I bought a Motorola e5.

This the one that I have been using. It is not showing up on my Amazon purchases list, so maybe it came from another merchant.

[library addict]

I will need a new AT&T Android phone for my mother. Doesn't need to be the latest craze as she doesn't really go online with her phone, but she does use some apps and likes to take pictures.

I plan to get a new laptop with maxed out memory.

Made that mistake a few Black Fridays ago thinking I could add memory later (which HP assured me I could), but that turned out to be false. I just need something I can use for accessing the internet that isn't reminiscent of windows 95 speed

I don't need a new tablet/ereader but if the Boox Nova Air has some sort of wild sale I will be tempted.

Also hoping Walmart will have their $40 for $50 Kobo gift cards again this year.

Looking forward to seeing what the deals will be this year. And thanks for all of the time and effort you put into this thread, tubemonkey. It is very much appreciated!

I've been using laptops for quite a few years now. They're much easier to handle, not to mention being cheaper. Since I've never used intensive programs, I get by quite nicely with a Samsung Chromebook (4GB RAM, 32GB storage, $129) I bought 3 years ago. I may be in the market for an upgrade this year, as long as it's in the $100~$130 price range. We'll see.

Looking forward to seeing what the deals will be this year. And thanks for all of the time and effort you put into this thread, tubemonkey. It is very much appreciated!

You're welcome

+1 on the Walmart/Kobo cards

And +100 on the thanks to @tubemonkey!
