Fastrack · Early Black Friday Deals Arrive Ahead of Thanksgiving Week

Major retailers have started Black Friday sales weeks before the holiday. Discounts span Apple devices, kitchen appliances, blankets and pet gear.

46% off a Bedsure heated blanket at Amazon, now from $37.
$99 for a Ninja blender at Walmart, down from $129.
AirPods, Apple Watches, MacBooks and iPads are discounted at Amazon and Best Buy.
$60 for a Drinkmate soda maker, $4 below its prior Amazon low.

Why it matters: Early sales stretch the holiday shopping season across most of November. Shoppers can compare prices before the main event.

Discontinued items like a Cuisinart toaster may not return once stock runs out.
Cyber Monday may bring deeper discounts; Black Friday may offer better inventory.
