Best Black Friday 2018 deals: Early sales on Fire TV Cube, iPad, Roomba, Instant Pot, TVs
Start your engines: Black Friday deals for 2018 have already started to pour in a full week early, giving you a chance to get a head start on the sales and leave other customers in the dust. Vroom vroom, y'all.
As if a 5-day stretch of deals from Black Friday to Cyber Monday wasn't enough to get you riled up, some of your favorite retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Macy's, Target, and Amazon are clearly too excited to wait. Their deals pages are flooded, and many are adding new deals every day up until the big day (so be sure to check back).
SEE ALL: Read all our coverage of Black Friday 2018
Big ticket tech items like TVs, laptops, and Instant Pots (the stuff people will be fighting for starting Thursday night) are already on sale — so skip the virtual bloodbath and snag yours before other customers catch wind and "out of stock" notices inevitably ruin the fun.
Not only did some of these items just go on sale early — a few them are already at their actual Black Friday price (we're looking at you, Samsung QLED TV that's $1,000 off). We've organized deals by merchant and by item category, because some people browse differently and we are here for you.
