😎 10 Best deals for Black Friday 2017 😎

There is absolutely no need to line up and ruin your Thanksgiving - the vast majority of the best Black Friday offerings are available online. Many of these deals are also available at lower prices online too!

Today you can shop with no crowds and no mayhem. (Tap/click on the blue links for Black Friday Deals)

👉 Every big Black Friday deal and doorbuster right here!👈

Chapter one: 🙂 AMAZON.com 🙂

Shopping on Amazon? Here are 44 amazing Black Friday deals!

Chapter two: 🍎 Apple 🍎

If you want to score the best deals on an iPhone, iPad, Macbook or Apple accessories this Black Friday, an Apple store is one of the last places you want to look.

Chapter three: 🛑 5 worst things to buy on Black Friday 🛑

Before you finalize that holiday shopping list, you should know that not all Black Friday deals are created equal.

In fact, there are several purchase you may want to skip completely on Black Friday.

Chapter four: 😉 Walmart 😉

Walmart has adopted a more Amazon-like approach for this Black Friday.

The retail giant has realized that many modern-day shoppers are not going to camp out or destroy their entire Thanksgiving meal to save an additional $40. So it is sharing many of its top deals online - rather than just limited quantity doorbusters in store.

Chapter five: 🎯 Target 🎯

This year Target is taking one of the most aggressive stands against Amazon that I've seen in the more than a decade that I've been hunting down deals.

The deals at Target this Black Friday 2017 are fantastic. My only disappointment is many of the best deals will be in-store only. Below you'll find my list of the best overall deals being offered by the retailer with more than 1,800 locations across the U.S.

Chapter six: 🎧 Need Headphones? 🎧

With more than 320 headphone deals this Black Friday, there is one winner and it's completely life-proof! I promised I'd hook you up with every major doorbuster before Black Friday. There is no need to ruin your Thanksgiving or line up.

In fact, the top wireless headphones we've tested this year are a doorbuster at Amazon but the price I found from a different store is even lower!

Chapter seven: 📺 TV Deals 📺

Any consumer expert suggesting your best TV deals appear around Super Bowl time are incorrect. The bargains for the big game do no have nearly the selection or price points we see on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

With that being said not every Black Friday TV deal is equal. Dozens of TVs are manufactured specifically for Black Friday which means fewer HDMI ports and under-equipped processors.

Chapter eight: 😎 10 Best deals for Black Friday 2017 😎

These are the most in-demand Black Friday 2017 deals right now, and they will sell out quickly. I've tested all merchants, products and customer service to customize this Top 10 list for you.
