Black Friday is already here at Best Buy: Save on Dyson vacuums, an Xbox Series S bundle, and more

Best Buy is once again scrapping the Black Friday playbook.

The electronics retailer announced in early October plans to offer Black Friday deals "almost every week" in the lead-up to its main event in November, citing a desire to bring shoppers "good tidings and great prices." (And to compete with equally impatient competition, probably.) After a sneak peek in the form of a 48-hour flash sale on Oct. 11 and 12, the same days as Amazon's inaugural Prime Early Access Sale, its holiday discounts are officially in play as of Monday, Oct. 24.

This also marks the beginning of Best Buy's extended holiday return policy: Almost any items purchased there from Oct. 24 through Dec. 31 can be returned through Jan. 14, 2023.

Best Buy had also decided to revive its Member Monday promotions throughout the holiday season. These one-day events are exclusive to members of My Best Buy, its free loyalty program, and Best Buy Totaltech, a $199.99/year household membership program that unlocks premium perks like Geek Squad support, product protection, and free 2-day shipping. According to a press release, several Member Mondays will include private access to "some hard-to-find holiday gifts" for the Totaltech crew — likely along the lines of a PlayStation 5 or Dyson Airwrap, if we had to guess.

Shoppers trying to hatch a long-term game plan should note that Best Buy's official Black Friday sale begins five days early on Sunday, Nov. 20, with Totaltech and My Best Buy members gaining access even sooner on Nov. 17 and 18, respectively; the retailer will switch into Cyber Monday mode on Sunday, Nov. 27. In our humble opinion, however, it would be wise to get the earliest start possible: Best Buy's Black Friday deals are available in limited quantities with no rainchecks, and if an item sells out at any point these next few weeks, it may not get restocked during the main sale. (Another thing to keep in mind: The retailer's price-match guarantee is null and void from the Friday before Black Friday through Cyber Monday.)

We'll be keeping a running list of the most "worth it deals" below in case you don't feel like poring through the sale's ever-changing listings yourself. All deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their sale price when we last looked, while anything marked with a ⏰ is a limited-time Member Monday promotion.
