Black Friday is here. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Black Friday coverage.
In the sea of seemingly endless sales that is Black Friday, I’m here to throw you a line. It’s my third year covering the shopping event, and I have some tidbits of deal-hunting advice: For one thing, I’ve learned that choosing a few budget-friendly items over a big splurge is often the way to go. And with just $50, you can score on a bunch of (relatively) cheap products in categories spanning tech, beauty, fashion, home décor, cleaning supplies, and more. So whether you’re stocking up on daily essentials — like Crest’s teeth-whitening strips or your go-to shampoo — hoping to uncover some affordable (yet meaningful) gift ideas, or just eager to get the most bang for your buck, you’re in the right place.
Here, you’ll find dozens of deals under $50, from our favorite plant-based protein powder for competitive athletes to eczema-safe moisturizer and Furbo’s mini pet camera. You’ll find discounts at many Strategist-approved retailers, including Everlane, Sephora, Parachute, and Quince. I’ll be keeping tabs on any new under-$50 markdowns that turn up as I update this post through the weekend, so be sure to check back as Cyber Monday nears. For even more sales, head over to our hub of all the best Black Friday sales, and don’t forget to sign up for the Strategist newsletter.
Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
Cyber Week is always a good time to refresh your white T-shirt collection, so I’ll be purchasing a few more of my favorite Organics Basics tees, which are now just $17. Another brand I love is Vancouver-based Fable. I already own a range of their dinnerware, but I’ve been eyeing these sturdy cereal bowls. And finally, I’ve already added this completely cordless handheld vacuum to my cart.
