I Find the Best Deals on Amazon for a Living — Here’s What’s in My Cart Before Black Friday

Amazon’s annual Black Friday sale started earlier than ever this year. And as a store editor who spends all day finding the best deals on the Internet, I take advantage of early sales to beat the holiday shopping rush.

My top Black Friday picks in fashion, tech, beauty, and cuisine include savings on Keurig, Beats, and more popular brands. I also get a head start on my holiday shopping list by buying gift items from Lego and Yankee Candle. Black Friday deals in my Amazon shopping cart go up to 51 percent off, with prices starting at $13.

Ever since Oprah Winfrey named these Beats headphones one of her favorite things of 2023, they’ve been sitting in my Amazon cart. But now they’re on sale for the lowest price since they’ve been on the site, so I’m buying them as a Christmas gift to myself. Amazon customers rave about how they’re “super comfortable” and offer “unreal” sound quality. Plus, their noise canceling ability will come in handy when I’m trying to focus on work or on a long flight.

When autumn was in full swing, I realized that most of my sweaters were pullovers. Since then, I’ve been on the hunt for cute cardigans that are easy to layer and style. This brown one from Illusory checks both of those boxes: it’s an oversized fit, which means I can easily throw it on over a long-sleeved top, and its neutral color goes with most of my wardrobe.

Even better, it has double discounts ahead of Black Friday. With an early bird offer and a stackable coupon, it’s less than $40. But I plan to reach for this cozy wardrobe essential this winter — so, by the laws of feminine math, its cost per wear will be an inch when spring rolls around.

I’m getting a head start on my holiday shopping list by picking up this beautiful Lego building set for my puzzle-loving mom. Although she loves the classic puzzle, I think she’ll have fun using her creativity to arrange a floral display – this set has 16 individual stems, so there’s plenty for her to work with. And when he completes the project, he can use it as decor.
