I found a few good deals on kitchen items, like a KitchenAid stand mixer (kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman says Black Friday is often the best time to buy one), as well as some Ninja blenders.

The best in-person bargains can sell out fast, so check out when the major retailers open their doors and you can beat the crowds.

A Dyson vacuum cleaner (very good, yet very expensive) is a quintessential Black Friday buy that you save up for and then pounce when it’s on sale. The V15 Detect is one of Dyson’s greatest cordless vacuums, highlighted by the detangling head and illumination technology that lights up all of the dust in your path.
