As much as I love Thanksgiving, I think I prefer the two (shopping) holidays that directly follow it even more: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As a self-proclaimed deals hunter and savvy shopper, there isn't a better time of the year to save big on the products you've been eyeing for months.
Even better? You don't have to wait for those two dates to arrive, as Black Friday deals have been rolling in all November long. Amazon is our go-to destination to find all these killer sales and discounts, and today, we've dug around to find the top five, just for you.
1. Lowest price ever: The newest Fitbit
Since we're all probably about to gain a little holiday weight over the next two months (hey, no shame in the game), it could be a great idea to invest in a smartwatch-like fitness tracker, to help stay healthy and work on our fitness. Luckily, the newest Fitbit to be released, the Versa 2, just went on sale on Amazon for the first time ever. Groundbreaking territory, people. Right now, you can snag it from Amazon for $149, which is a 25% discount off its $200 retail price. While we're still in the process of testing it, we expect the Versa 2 to perform similarly to the Versa Lite, which is one of our favorite fitness trackers.
Similar in appearance to the Apple Watch with its sleek design and 1.34-inch OLED display, it provides you with easy access all your stats (heart rate, sleep, steps, calories burned, etc.), is water-resistant up to 50 meters, and has voice-control capabilities via Alexa. You can even control Spotify and Pandora playlists with it, so your tunes can be played right from your wrist. It's a pretty perfect gift for any fitness junkie, in my opinion.

2. $50 off: The coveted Staub dutch oven
Whether you want to braise meats and veggies or simmer hearty stews and soups this season, a great way to do so is in one of the most iconic cooking accessories: a Dutch oven. Not only can they perform cooking tasks incredibly well, but they also look great doing it. If you don't yet own one but have been eyeing it for awhile, you're in luck, because you can get a Staub dutch oven for a serious discount right now.
While we're not sure how long this deal will last, you can currently get a 4-quart Staub Round Cocotte in black, white, cherry, and turquoise for just $100, which is a solid $50 off its usual price tag. When we tested the best Dutch ovens, we chose the larger Staub 5.5-Quart Round Cocotte as our top pick because it was the ideal size to fit on the stove and cooked each recipe our tester made to perfection. We think this smaller size will be great for making side dishes this Thanksgiving, and is also awesome for smaller apartments and kitchens.

3. Deal alert: Our favorite affordable, portable speaker
Good-quality Bluetooth speakers don't have to cost an arm and a leg. The Anker Soundcore line is a great example of a manufacturer who blends affordability and quality quite seamlessly, which is why Reviewed named the Soundcore our favorite cheap portable Bluetooth speaker. It's durable, has a long-lasting 24-hour battery power, and is water resistant to boot. Right now, the red and blue colors are just about $2 shy of their lowest price ever. If you know a music fanatic who would love to bring their tunes on the go, the Soundcore is the perfect gift to give them this holiday season without spending a fortune.
