Black Friday is here, marking the start of the 2015 holiday shopping season.
You've hardly finished digesting the turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie you ate yesterday, but if you care about scoring those not-to-miss deals onthis year's hottest electronics and holiday gifts, now isthe time to shop. Thankfully, you can do so from the comfort of your couch.
With virtually every big-name retailer hosting online shopping events today — in addition to those happening in stores — there's no need to join the masses at your local shopping mall, if you don't want to. Amazon, Best Buy, Macy's, Microsoft, Target, andWalmart are just a few of the juggernauts with deals you'll want to keep an eye on over the course of today.
Amazon is still, arguably, the leader of the pack, but it's far from the only store with amazing discounts on everything from Bluetooth speakers to budget TVs to drones, from media streamers to tablets and e-readers.
Whether you’re looking for in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, exercise-focused, or Bluetooth cans, you'll find a truly overwhelming number of headphone options worth buying as well, at a number of locations. And whether you're in the market for the best overall laptops or the most reliable budget ones, or a bag to carry them in when you're en route to and from work, there's a plethora at prices that beg the word 'steal', if you know where to look.
Outside of the tech space, which really does dominate the day, there are clothes, shoes, watches, luggage, home goods, and thousands upon thousands more items seeing steep discounts, too. (Check out our list of more than 50 Black Friday sales for more information on them.)
But it's a lot. So we sorted through the massive selection to find the deals we think you'll care about most. We’ll update the following list as the day rolls along, so check back in to see if anything sells out or goes up for grabs.
