Garmin’s holiday sale just went live. Now I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to fitness tracking — I’m team Apple Watch. However, Amazon has a massive sale on Garmin watches/trackers from $149. It’s not uncommon to see this price point, but what’s special about this sale is that it includes a lot of models.

Not sure where to start? The Garmin Forerunner 570 is just $449, an all-time price low. We named it the best Garmin watch you can buy and the best model for runners looking for value. You get detailed training insights including VO2 max estimates, race time predictions, training load analysis, and advice on how well acclimated to heat and altitude you are.

Still shopping for your Thanksgiving turkey? I have some good news to share!

Starting November 18-22, Instacart is giving away up to 50,000 free turkeys when you spend $50 or more on your Thanksgiving basket. (The turkey counts toward the $50 minimum if you add one to your cart).

Here’s how it works: Instacart will drop 10,000 fresh turkeys every day at 12pm ET starting on November 18. Just spend $50 or more and then click this Instacart page to redeem the promotion. This offer is valid while supplies last only, but remember — there will be new turkey drops every day from November 18-22.

Additionally, on November 22-25 you’ll get $0 delivery fees on Thanksgiving grocery orders of $10 or more. It’s a win-win for shoppers who tend to procrastinate or need last-minute items.

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m Louis, deals editor-in-chief at Tom’s Guide. I’ve been covering deals and retail holidays for over 15 years, so I’m your guy when it comes to saving money. Black Friday is now less than 2 weeks out, which is crazy when you think about it.

I used to recommend shoppers wait till Thanksgiving week before making any purchases, but I’ll be honest — Black Friday deals are already live everywhere. There are definitely some deals that will go live later, but on this blog I’ll focus on safe purchases you can make now.

There are a lot of amazing TV deals available now, but one of my top deals is this discount on the TCL QM7L. This TV won a Tom’s Guide Editor’s Choice Award and it also got the coveted Tom’s Guide Award for Best Mini-LED TV. It’s TCL’s first Super Quantum Dot (SQD) TV and it offers better contrast and color than rival Mini-LED TVs. All sizes are selling at an all-time price low right now. (With the exception of the 75-inch model, which has been $200 cheaper before).

Fire TV Sticks are always popular during sales events, but I’d recommend going with Roku. The interface is snappy, easy to use, and it has less focus on ads. If you don’t own a 4K TV, the Roku Streaming Stick HD will get you access to all your favorite streaming apps for just $24. Plus, if you’re traveling for the holidays, you can bring it with you and keep access to all the same shows and movies you watch at home.

Garmin deals don’t get much better than this — the best Garmin watch we’ve tested is on sale for its lowest price ever! The Garmin Forerunner 570 is the best Garmin watch overall because of its advanced training metrics, accurate GPS tracking and gorgeous AMOLED display. You get 10 days of battery life, and detailed insights to improve your performance as you run.

A previous winner on our list of the best headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 are now on sale for $198 at Best Buy. With 50% off, they’re one of the absolute best headphones deals you can buy right now.

We gave them 4.5 stars in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review because they pretty much tick every single box, delivering high-quality sound, strong active noise canceling and up to 40 hours of battery life on a charge. If you’re traveling for the holidays, that ANC will come in clutch for noisy airplane rides.

This is an underrated deal for sure. The CMF Headphone Pro made our list of the best headphones as the best option on a budget — and they just got even cheaper thanks to this deal. For less than $50, the sound quality and premium features they offer are going to extremely hard to beat.

They offer cinematic sound with support for formats like LDAC, AAC and wired listening too. They also feel comfortable to wear and come in three color options — including an eye-catching light green.

Looking for Black Friday AirPods deals? You could see bigger savings if you can wait for the big day, but there are still some good deals up for grabs if you want to shop right now.

For starters, you can get $50 off the excellent AirPods Pro 3. Meanwhile, the AirPods Max 2 are on sale for $449 ($100 off,) and the AirPods 4 are on sale for $89 at Walmart ($40 off.) There’s no bad choice here — all three are excellent headphones for apple users.

However, I have seen them all sell for less in the past. So just to reiterate, you might want to wait for Black Friday itself.

$1,000 off the LG C6 OLED…

It wouldn’t be Black Friday without an LG OLED TV deal! The LG C-series of OLED TVs has always been one of the top Black Friday sellers for as long as I’ve been working at Tom’s Guide, and I don’t see that changing this year.

The latest model in the series, the LG C6 OLED TV, got a near-perfect 4.5-star review from us for its triple-threat combination of bright visuals, gorgeous colors and excellent gaming features. Right now you can get the 55-inch model for a massive $1,000 off.

Nintendo has officially announced its Black Friday deals for 2026 and the standout deal of the bunch is definitely the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $499. That’s $50 off, knocking it back down to its original, pre-hike price. The deal will start on November 22 and run through December 5. However, if you want to beat the rush, you can currently get the bundle for $549 and save yourself $37 compared to buying the items individually.

This one released in 2024, but it still provides strong, bassy sound with adjustable EQ. There are 7 colors to choose from, too.
