We've finally hit November, and that can only mean one thing in the world of tech: Black Friday will soon be here before we know it. In fact, in some cases, we're already starting to see early deals crop up.

Over at Best Buy, for example, the retailer has officially declared that its 'Holiday savings season' has started, with an extended return period, price match guarantee, and early deals that you can check out right now.

I've been looking through the retailer's early sale, and I've already found some decent options. Alongside discounted MacBooks, highlights also include LG OLED TVs, Shark appliances, Sony headphones, and many more favorites here at TechRadar. You can find my full list of recommended deals just below, with easy-to-navigate sections for various categories.

Even if you're not looking to do your shopping quite this early, it's well worth checking out these deals since they're covered by Best Buy's excellent price match guarantee. That will cover you all the way to January and insulate you from any potential price cuts down the line. I expect more retailers to start their sales pretty soon, so that's a very handy thing to have over the next few weeks.
