Best Buy Black Friday - Deals Live Now

Black Friday deals can become repetitive when looking at different retailers, so it mainly comes down to where you prefer to shop. Best Buy has many of the same deals you'll find at Walmart and Target, and in the sections below you'll find the big product categories broken down into their own lists.


Apple

Best Buy has a wide range of Apple products at a discount this week, including all-time low prices on AirPods Pro 2, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad, and Apple Watch Ultra. You can find the highlights of Best Buy's Apple Black Friday sale below, and the rest of them on the retailer's website.

Hmm.. most of what they are offering is matching what other retailers are also currently doing or will be doing. The AirPods Pro 2 is at the same price that Amazon, Costco, and target are already advertising, and while I’m not sure on the Mac deals, I’m not seeing anything for what others are looking for, like the Mac Studio. However, I am seeing cheaper elsewhere for AirTags, so I’m sure someone could take that advertised price to BB and have them match it.

The Sonic Frontiers game matches Target’s sale price, but that Ratchet and Clank game is a steal.

Most manufacturers dictate the sale prices which is why you will see multiple retailers selling at the same price.
Also, Best Buy does not price match Black Friday deals.

To a degree. Late last week up to Monday, Costco had the Airpods Pro 2nd Generation on sale for $229, after $10 in instant savings. On Sunday, Target had them on sale for $199. It took until Tuesday for Costco to match that price, both online and in store.

Meanwhile, Walmart isn't putting them on sale.

Ugh.. matching for everything during the holiday except that week.

Spot on summary.

Non Black Friday specific: For the Mac Studio (and Studio Display for that matter), the refurbished section have had its stock gone and back several times for a month.

Sometimes some of the MR US crowd over here also mention considerable savings with the right Costco + Card + handshake combination! For these considerably pricy items, maybe it’s worth it… but I forget the perks plus extended warranties details.

The next best thing would be open boxes where Apple Care is still purchasable in BestBuy/Walmart/Costco.
(Myself decided against that since the base model is 1TB SSD, the refurbished store gets 2TB and sometimes tons more configs plus I don’t get to see the opened items until I visit for holiday season).

Walmart offers better Nintendo game deals with the same titles. ;)

Everything seems to be 50%, even Bravely Default II at $35 (not quite 50% but close) which from memory is a rare offer.

Saw some 12 months cards at half price too.

Just beware of these “sales”:
B792A746-756D-4723-9502-A675503D6B2D.jpeg

Which reads as “this $20 gift card was $33.90 before! For a limited time only, if you only pay $20, to get a $20 gift card!”

Just finished installing the linksys atlas max 6e this morning... Got it with Best Buy's Black Friday deal, $400 off, for $599 - 3 pack. (Replaced my AirPort Extreme, if you can believe it).
