Editor’s note: Black Friday has ended, so we’re no longer updating this post. If you want to shop Cyber Monday deals, see our roundup of the best Cyber Monday deals on things we’ve written about here.
Welcome to Black Friday. The deals are notably good, and you can shop from your couch, so you don’t have to argue with anyone over the last product in stock. Our deals editor, Sam Daly, is keeping a master list of Black Friday deals with every single sale worth taking advantage of — so check there for markdowns across the internet. Here, you’ll find an even more curated list of items that the Strategist staff has either tested ourselves or heard about from experts who did the vetting.
I’ll be updating this post throughout the sale extravaganza with even more standout deals. There are plenty of good deals out there on Strategist-tested items, especially in the vacuum, fashion, and bedding categories. Personally, I’ve got my eye on a new vacuum — the Shark Stratos in particular — and a second pair of cooling pajamas from Lake. (The steep discounts on our favorite bamboo bath mat, black turtleneck, and hair oil are appealing too.) As always, sign up for our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss anything through Cyber Monday.
The Strategist is designed to surface useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Every product is independently selected by our team of editors, whom you can read about here. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
