Black Friday 2020
This is an exclusive list of all BF 2020 deals. This year BF deals have been nothing short of hype with no delivery. I've found better deals on Laptop before BF. That's true for many other deals that used to take place every BF where you could get bunch of stuff for free after MIR (mail in rebate), but those deals have mostly disappeared for this year.So, my advice (which is always wrong) would be wait until after Christmas, and see if there are any markdowns for all the items these retailers have hoarded.
Anyway I'll list BF deals below. Not that they are at all time low prices, but still at decent prices. You still have extended return window for the holidays (mos retailers like Walmart, Target, BestBuy allow you to return items until Jan 2021), so it's relatively low risk. You can always return the item if you find it at a lower price later in Dec or Jan.
Best place to find all BF ads is from here (too much advertisement makes it hard to navigate 
)
Deals:
Some good deals summarized (more details in bottom part of page along with deals)
- TV: 65 inch TV (lowest price $230), 70 inch TV (lowest price $300), 75 inch TV (lowest price $500, still close to 2019's price point),
- Laptop: 15.6 inch screen (lowest $250), gaming laptop (lowest $449)
- HooverBoard: At target for $67.50 (cheapest price)
Best Buy:
https://blackfriday.com/ads/black-friday/best-buy
NOTE: All best buy purchase from 13th Oct, 2020 to 2nd Jan, 2021 are eligible for returns until Jan 2, 2020. So, even if the deal is not that great, you can still buy it as a backup. If you find a better deal at BestBuy or elsewhere, just return that and get the other one.
Some of the noteworthy deals are:
- Hisense 65inch 4K TV for $250 (among cheapest 65 inch TV yet). Target has gotten it even chaper at $230 as of 11/06. See below in Target section.
- Hisense 70inch 4K TV for $400 (among cheapest 70 inch TV yet).
- TCL 75 inch 4K TV for $500 (cheapest 75 inch TV). Finally 75 inch TV for < $500. This deal was available earlier in Oct, 2020. That expired, but it's available again on BF for those who missed it Not a deal at this price. I would wait for Samsung or LG to go on sale for this price during BF. From comments looks like, class 6 is lot better than class 4, but unfortunately class 6 hasn't come down to this price.

70" Samsung TV for $530: (Live now !! Keeps going in and out of stock)
https://slickdeals.net/f/14426357-samsung-70-class-6-series-led-4k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv-529-99
This is about $20 lower than similar 70 inch Samsung TV offered by BestBuy on Black Friday in 2019. It's definitely not a great deal, as it's about the same price as last year. I believe 75 inch branded TVs should be available for < $500 in 2020. Patience will pay off here !!
- Lenove IdeaPad3 15 inch laptop = $300. Memory is 8GB, SSD is 256GB, 1080p screen. Not bad for the price. Lenove IdeaPad series seems cheap, walmart's HP laptop for $250 is better deal.
- HP Pavilion gaming laptop = $449. Memory is 8GB, SSD is 256GB. It's 1080p screen, discrete graphics, definitely $300-$400 worth. $450 is little high, but I haven't seen a gaming laptop for under $500. Still get one. Return it if you can find a better deal.
- $100 Apple GC with free $20 BestBuy GC => So, effectively 20% discount. Apple GC can be used on Apple website only.
Walmart:
NOTE: All walmart deals below are very hard to get online. Very few people on slickdeals have been able to snag these, so don't get your hopes high.
UPDATE: Looks like walmart is releasing these deals slowly every half hour or so. People are able to get all these online deals now by trying again and again over a day, as the deals keep on going in and out of stock. So, keep trying !!
For sale on 11/04/2020: https://blackfriday.com/ads/pre-black-friday/walmart
Some of the noteworthy deals are:
- Onn 65 inch 4K TV ( 11/04/2020)= $228 (cheapest 65 inch TV). Target one is a better deal since TCL is a better brand than Walmart's Onn
- ACER 32" LED monitor at walmart.com starting 7PM ET on 11/04//2020 (wed):
This is a decent deal as it's hard to find monitors this size for < $200. Basic 1080p 24 inch monitors go for $100. Prices go exponentially with screen size. It's not 4K monitor, and no speaker in it, if that matters. I would still wait to find a monitor this size for ~ $100. Costco also has a 32 inch monitor for $160. Might also look in getting that if you have costco membership. See in costco section below.
-
HP 15 inch gaming laptop for $449 => It's available online and for pickup both on 11/04 and 11/07. Almost equivalent to best buy laptop at $449 that's listed above. Not a superb deal, but still get one if you can.
For sale on 11/07/2020:
- HP 15 inch gaming laptop for $449 =>same deal as above on 11/04. If you missed the one on 11/04, one more chance at it !!
For sale on 11/11/2020 (valid until 11/15/2020): https://blackfriday.com/ads/thanksgiving/walmart
Some of the noteworthy deals are:
- HP 15 inch laptop for $249 => Memory is 8GB, SSD is 256GB. This doesn't have a 1080p screen. Not sure if memory is upgradeable. Better than BestBuy's $300 Ideapad laptop
- HP 15 inch Pavilion laptop for $379 => It's 1080p. Downside is it has 8GB memory soldered, so can't be upgraded. I might be wrong, comments say memory can be upgraded. Some people have gotten thia laptop with backlit keyboard too. It's a great deal, if memory can be upgraded. It's hard to find laptop with these specs for under $400.
- Corelle 20 piece dinnerware set for $20 => This almost always goes on sale around BF for around $20. Good time to stock up. Corelle is one of the best dinnerware set that last a lifetime. Read more about in shopping section. This is available both online and in-store starting Sat, Nov 14th.
Target:
This year Target really has some great deals. Their prices are even lower than Walmart's prices, and they don't sell out as Walmart online deals do.
Some of the noteworthy deals are:
-
65 inch TCL TV for $229 => available online as of 11/06/2020. Most likely will sell out quick, since it's the cheapest 65 inch TV yet. Update: It's available again starting from 11/22.
https://slickdeals.net/f/14509307-tcl-65-tv-under-230-229-99?src=frontpage
- Hoverboard for $67.50 => lowest price yet. It's a kid's toy, so definitely Hoverboards are worth nothing more than $100. But I haven't seen hoverboards in this price range. My kids are loving it so far.
- 70 inch Element TV for $300 => available online. Best price yet for 70 inch. However, it's YMMV as not all stores have it.
- $100 Apple GC with free $20 Target GC => So, effectively 20% discount. Apple GC can be used on Apple website only.
- $500 Taget GC for $450 at Target stores and online => This is the most anticipated yearly GC sale at Target. This is valid Dec 5th and Dec 6th only. Don't try to buy more or buy GC with GC. Your GC balance may disappear at Target's will. Keep an eye on Target GC balance all the time, since had multiple people's money drained out for supposedly violating their policies (basically Target stole money)
Costco:
NOTE: costco doesn't really have any Black friday deals. They have slightly better deals during BF than at other times, but nothing at ludicrous prices that sell out.
- Samsung 32 inch monitor for $160 => Similar to Walmart 32 inch monitor deal. A decent price.
