We're just days away from Black Friday, with many sales already in full swing and many ready to open on Friday. We're giving a quick summary of the best sales we've seen so far this season, and the highlights to keep an eye on. The best sales happening this week can be found at our Black Friday Roundup.

There is a note on availability.
It's easier to finish your shopping before Black Friday in the year 2021. We're a few days out from Black Friday, so be sure to shop now if you want to take advantage of the many solid sales that began days ago. Walmart's $90 discount on the Apple Watch Series 3 was a great deal, but it was quickly gone.
Where to buy things.
Over the past few weeks, we've highlighted the best deals at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. If you like shopping at one retailer or another, we recommend browsing our spotlight posts this week to see what's available now and what's still to come.
Apple this week detailed its annual Black Friday sale event, and as usual it's offering Apple gift cards with the purchase of regularly priced Apple products on Apple.com.
The best deals on Apple products won't be found on Apple.com during the week of Black Friday, but on other retailers such as Target, Best Buy, and B&H Photo. In this article, you'll see a focus on these third-party retailers.
