Black Friday is less than two weeks away, which means hundreds of early deals are available right now from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and more. With so many early Black Friday deals available right now, it can be difficult to decide if you should buy now or wait for a better price, and that's where I come in.

As a deals editor at Techradar, I shop for sales for a living and have been covering Black Friday for half a decade. I know a good deal from a bad deal and an absolutely fantastic deal when I see one, and I love helping people save money.

Below, I'm sharing everything I recommend buying now instead of waiting for Black Friday proper, which includes a mix of TVs, kitchen appliances, tech gadgets, home items, and smart home devices. All of the items I've listed below are genuinely great deals, with record-low prices that I don't expect to be discounted further on November 24.

Some highlights include the all-new Apple Watch 9 on sale for $349, this 65-inch 4K smart TV from Hisense marked down to just $498, and the best-selling Bissell Little Green portable carpet cleaner on sale for just $89.

Below, I've listed all the best Black Friday sales that are live from your favorite online retailer, followed by more of my top deal picks. Today's Black Friday deals not only allow you to grab an early bargain, but you can avoid the madness of Black Friday and spread out your holiday shopping.

Apple Watch Series 9: was $399.99 now $349 at Amazon
Record-low price: The Apple Watch 9 was just released in October, and Amazon's Black Friday sale has the smartwatch down to a record-low price of $349. The Apple Watch 9 is more powerful than ever thanks to the S9 SiP chip, which delivers a brighter display and 18 hours of battery life. You also get advanced health and safety features, GPS technology, and a new double-tap feature that allows you to use your Apple Watch without touching the display.

Samsung 75-inch The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV (2022): was $2,999 now $1,949 at Walmart
$1,050 discount: Samsung's stunning The Frame TV is on my Black Friday wish list and Walmart is helping my dreams come true by dropping this 75-inch model on sale for $1,949. That's a whopping $1,050 discount and the lowest price you'll find. The best-selling Samsung Frame TV transforms into a beautiful piece of art to seamlessly blend into your home's decor and includes customizable bezels, a QLED screen, and smart capabilities.

Price Check: Amazon: $2,597.99 Best Buy: $2,599.99

Nectar Memory Foam Mattress: now from $359 at Nectar
40% off sitewide: Black Friday is a great time to buy a new mattress on sale, and the best early Black Friday deal is from Nectar, thanks to this flash sale that knocks 40% off everything, which takes the price of a queen down to $659. In our Nectar mattress review, we found it delivered good pressure relief and motion isolation, making it a good choice for anyone with achy joints or who shares a bed with a partner. It comes with a lifetime warranty and a year's risk-free trial, so you'll have plenty of time to make sure it suits you.
