The holiday shopping season has already started for many of us, though a number of consumers wait anxiously for the arrival of Black Friday – the day of the year where you push, shove, and combat your way into savings, or you go online and save a bunch without nearly as much effort (though arguably with more risk that the item you covet will already be out of stock).
Figuring out what all is available on discount during Black Friday can be nothing short of a pain, so we’re attempting to make the process at least a little easier by listing out a number of great deals that caught our eyes here at Android Authority. While not all of these deals are Android-related, they are the kind of stuff that our fellow tech lovers should appreciate.
At the bottom of this roundup of deals we’ll also include links to all the retailer’s ads in case you want to dig even deeper on your own.
Editor’s Note: This list will continue to evolve in the days and weeks leading up to Black Friday, so be sure to check back if you want more help in planning your Black Friday war plan this year.
