Best Buy has launched its early Black Friday sales, but competition is fierce. Many advertised deals are cheaper elsewhere – Amazon often undercuts prices by $1.99 to $70 on select items. This guide focuses on the best deals exclusive to Best Buy, or matched only elsewhere, while highlighting why shopping here makes sense, particularly for My Best Buy members.
Why Shop at Best Buy?
Beyond competitive pricing, Best Buy offers bonus rewards for members: spending $299 on select products earns a $30 credit. Limited-time doorbusters with over 50% discounts will continue through Christmas. Keep an eye out for those.
