Black Friday season is the perfect time to work through your holiday gift list (or your own gift list) as sales abound. And best of all, you can get a lot of your shopping done without even leaving the house, because most Black Friday sales are available online, so shopping just takes a few clicks. (Just remember to beware of package theft when you shop.)
But it can be tough to find a good deal, especially with so many stores advertising big sales this time of year. We recommend using price tracking tools so you know when a sale is really a sale, but there are still a lot of deals to sort through. To help you out, we’ve picked over the ads to find the best sales deals on smart home and kitchen tech.
Look for most of these sales to start on Thanksgiving, and last through the weekend. Some may even continue through Cyber Monday — but that doesn’t mean you have time to delay, because the best sales will vanish quickly.
