It's official: Black Friday is less than a month away. As deals editor, it's hands-down the busiest time of the year for me. It's also when I like to do the majority of my shopping. With so many sales, the Black Friday season can be overwhelming, so I'm here to help you uncover the best early Black Friday deals you can get. One of my favorite sales this week comes from Amazon. Right now, Amazon is taking up to 50% off Blink, KitchenAid, Nespresso, and more. It's a very broad sale, but I think it's worth checking everyday because Amazon is constantly adding new deals to its holiday storefront. Cold weather is coming and when it comes to apparel, REI is one of my go-to stores. Right now REI is taking up to 50% off Patagonia, Arc'teryx, The North Face, and more. It's part of their end-of-season clearance sale and I like this sale because it includes dozens of deals on name brands. From running shoes to coffee machines, below I've rounded up all of my favorite early Black Friday deals. If you're hesitant to shop early, remember that Black Friday is no longer a one-day event and many of the deals you see now will be the same discounts you'll see come Thanksgiving week.
