    Did it hurt? When you realized we've reached our second pandemic Black Friday?

    Below, you'll find a complete list of all the holiday doorbusters that are live right now (with sales grouped by retailer, category, and brand). We continue to update this post as more deals pop up throughout Cyber Weekend, but don't hold out too long if something on your shopping list is enjoying a discount — it may not be in stock for much longer thanks to the ongoing supply chain mess that's clearing inventories and putting products on backorder. 

    Please note: All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨. Anything with a strikeout was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price as of this writing, but check back often — we're updating this page constantly.

    The best Black Friday deals at each retailer

    Amazon

    After nearly two months of hype, Amazon's 48-hour Black Friday event is finally live with "more deals than ever before" across all departments from Nov. 25 to 26. (Its own Alexa-enabled devices are clearly the stars of the show, though — we're seeing almost every Fire tablet configuration on sale, plus tons of markdowns on Kindles, Ring video doorbells, and Echo Show smart displays.) Its inventory changes pretty frequently, so check back often — you can find out what's up for grabs by visiting its Black Friday Deals page, installing its mobile app, or by asking your smart home device, “Alexa, what are my deals?" Like in previous years, it pays to be an Amazon Prime member: Subscribers get 30-minute early access to select Lightning Deals, which go quick once they're live; click here to sign up for a free 30-day trial.

    Walmart

    The big box store revived its popular Black Friday Deals for Days event from 2020, this time spreading it out over three sales throughout the month of November. (Like Target, it's also nixed layaway in favor of a new "buy now, pay later" program as part of its partnership with Affirm.) Its third and final event kicked off Monday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. ET following a three-hour preview for paying Walmart+ members (click here to sign up) and continued in stores in the wee hours of Black Friday.

    Best Buy

    The electronics store's official Black Friday sale began a whole week early (on Friday, Nov. 19) with a 70-inch Samsung TV for under $600, $99 Chromebooks, up to $100 off select Fitbits, $200 off a Dyson cordless vacuum, half off a Bowflex treadmill, and up to 40% off LEGO Star Wars building sets; more deals were added in the early hours of Nov. 25 to keep things fresh. If anything you bought there earlier this month happens to be cheaper today, you'll get a refund under its new Black Friday Price Guarantee.

    Target

    Stop by the bullseye brand's weeklong Black Friday sale (from Nov. 21 to 27) to save up to $60 on Apple Watches and AirPods, get up to $200 off Dyson vacuums, and score a free $50 gift card with the purchase of an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. (Extra deals were added on the 25th, so early birds should check back.) Keep in mind that Target's holiday price match policy is now in effect through Dec. 24; you can also take advantage of two new "buy now, pay later" payment options through Sezzle and Affirm.

    Bed Bath & Beyond

    BB&B's Black Friday sale was supposed to be a three-day affair from Nov. 25 to 27, but deals were already live on its website on Thanksgiving morning. Fortunately, nothing was sold out the last time we looked — you can save up to 55% on select kitchen appliances and get up to 60% off a bunch of vacuums and home decor now through Saturday. If you wind up buying anything that's not featured in its Black Friday sale (indicated by a little "Black Friday Deals!" flag above its picture), you can get a coupon for 25% off any purchase by signing up for its email list.

    Dell

    A few other stores beat Dell to the punch this year — it's usually among the first to release its holiday ad scan — but its "biggest Black Friday yet" began earlier than everyone else's sale on Monday, Nov. 15. Deals are going fast; get in there ASAP to score up to 58% off monitors, up to $840 off XPS desktops and laptops, and up to 41% off select gaming PCs (including a couple of $999 Alienware machines) through the 27th.

    HP

    The techies over at HP are rolling their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals into one big ol' sale from Nov. 25 to Cyber Monday (its "biggest savings event of the year," per the ad scan), which plunges prices on computer software, gaming peripherals, and tons of Windows 11 PCs.

    JCPenney

    The department store has thousands of doorbusters listed online and in stores for its three-day Black Friday sale (from Nov. 26 to 28); highlights include $8 kitchen appliances (with mail-in rebates), up to 40% off Disney toys, and as much as 60% off select mattresses.

    Kohl's

    Black Friday kicked off at Kohl's on Nov. 21 with cheap Fitbits, tons of Google Nest smart home doorbusters, and the return of its excellent $15 for $50 Kohl’s Cash offer. (It actually beats some of Amazon's deals on its own devices when you factor in that promo.) You can also take an extra 15% off select items using the coupon code ENJOY15 and get $10 off any home purchase of $50 or more with HOME10 through the 26th.

    Macy's

    The mall stalwart's huge holiday sale began a few days early on Tuesday, Nov. 23, and continues through Saturday, Nov. 27 with super steep savings across every department. (Its home and kitchen deals are especially juicy, though — see above; a bunch of them randomly come with a free massage gun.)

    The hype was real

    Stores began cramming our inboxes with Black Friday-worthy deals in early October (starting with Amazon's "Epic Daily Deals" event, which kicked off Oct. 4). It probably felt a bit preemptive, like those neighbors who insist on putting up their Christmas lights while the trees are still green, but they actually had a very good reason to get a jump on this year's sales.

    And no, it wasn't just a good, old-fashioned cash grab in response to some strong holiday spending forecasts.

    Shipping delays and supply chain chaos

    The global economy is grappling with some unprecedented supply chain challenges as the result of the Delta variant, which continues to inflame pandemic-related material scarcities, labor shortages, and shipping bottlenecks across industries of all kinds. (Under circumstances absolutely no one had on their bingo card, pickles and paper bags have gotten as elusive as Playstation 5s.)

    Unsurprisingly, the ordeal left most major manufacturers and retailers scrambling ahead of Black Friday. Amazon tried lure in an extra 150,000 seasonal employees with the promise of $3,000 sign-on bonuses and higher pay for certain shifts, while Walmart, Home Depot, and Ikea all went so far as to charter private cargo ships to make sure their shelves were stocked for the season. Apple, meanwhile, was "predicting that we're going to be short of demand by larger than $6 billion" heading into the holidays, CEO Tim Cook said in a recent interview with Reuters.

    SEE ALSO: How will supply chain issues affect Black Friday this year? Experts weigh in.

    For us consumers, this all means that finding the best deals this season will be an ongoing issue of availability. As Canalys analyst Runar Bjørhovde wrote in an email to Mashable: "It will be very possible to buy devices, it’s more of a question to what cost and when." (Read more about supply chain issues.)

    If you missed out on the whirlwind of early sales, fret not. Backorders and "sold out" notices haven't besieged stores just yet, but mapping out a game plan now will help you avoid them when they inevitably crop up in the coming days. Here are all the must-know details you can use to strategize:

    What is Black Friday?

    Black Friday is a shopping holiday that takes place every year on the day right after Thanksgiving. It used to be synonymous with viral fistfights and stampedes and lines that stretched around city blocks before 3 a.m., but COVID-19 has turned it into a mostly online event.

    When is Black Friday?

    While Black Friday proper falls on Nov. 26 this year, most stores began rolling out their holiday doorbusters in October and early November.

    Black Friday versus Cyber Monday — what's the difference?

    The National Retail Federation officially coined the term "Cyber Monday" in 2005 after it noticed that in previous years, the Monday after Thanksgiving saw a massive uptick in online sales. It credited the phenomenon to two factors: Online retailers were starting to vie for a piece of the Black Friday pie, and shoppers were waiting to peruse the deals on their faster work computers come Monday morning. (At the time, office PCs had better broadband than home setups.)

    Last year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales effectively bled together since in-person shopping wasn't really a thing. We'll almost certainly see that repeat this year.

    What stores are open for in-person shopping this Black Friday, if any?

    All major retailers with brick-and-mortar locations were closed on Thanksgiving Day. That's another big change from pre-pandemic years, when many stayed open on the federal holiday so that eager shoppers could start perusing their best deals early.

    In-person shopping is making a comeback for Black Friday, but be mindful of COVID-related safety procedures and limited store capacities:

    • Bed Bath & Beyond: Closed on Thanksgiving; doors open at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Masks are required for all customers (unless you're fully vaccinated) as well as associates, and all stores are following safety plans that include extra cleaning, free wipes and hand sanitizers, employee health screenings, and occupancy limits. Curbside and in-store pickup are available.

    • Best Buy: Closed on Thanksgiving; stores open at 5 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Face coverings (available in stores) are recommended for all customers and required for all employees, who are abiding by enhanced safety procedures such as daily wellness checks and regular cleaning of high-touch areas. Curbside and in-store pickup are available.

    • JCPenney: Closed on Thanksgiving; doors open at 5 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Its mask policy varies based on local and state mandates, but all locations are following safety measures like regular nightly cleanings, socially distanced queues, contactless checkout, and capacity limits. Curbside pickup is available.

    • Kohl's: Closed on Thanksgiving; stores open at 5 a.m. local time on Black Friday. The company is requiring all associates to mask up, recommending that customers in high-risk counties do the same; it's also implemented extra cleaning and safety measures that include placing sanitizer at every register, removing beauty testers, and installing signage that encourages social distancing. Drive-up and in-store pickup are available.

    • Macy's: Closed on Thanksgiving; stores are open from 6 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time on Black Friday. Its COVID-19 safety policy includes pre-shift wellness checks for all associates, readily available hand sanitizer, increased cleaning in high-touch areas, extra ventilation, and social distancing; masks are recommended but not required for vaccinated customers except where mandated. Curbside and in-store pickup are available.

    • Target: Closed on Thanksgiving; most stores open at 7 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Face masks are required for team members and strongly recommended for shoppers in areas with a substantial or high risk of transmission, per CDC guidelines, and increased cleanliness/disinfecting measures have been implemented. (Haven't gotten a vaccine yet? You can do so at select CVS locations within Target stores.) Drive-up and in-store pickup are available.

    • Walmart: Closed on Thanksgiving; stores open at 5 a.m. local time on Black Friday. All associates are required to wear a mask (regardless of vaccination status) in areas where there are mandates, and customers are strongly encouraged to do so, too. Stores are spraying carts after use and keeping plastic shields at registers, among other enhanced safety procedures. Curbside and in-store pickup are available.
