The Best Deals

If you’re cool with buying lightly used products, it could pay off in a big way, literally. Amazon Warehouse has just launched its Black Friday deals, featuring thousands of used items going for 20% off their regular prices. The discounts are hitting a ton of different categories, from luggage, to baby, to power tools. And don’t forget to check out the Bargain Bin for used items up to 50% off a bunch miscellaneous stuff. Chances are we could also use something from this sale.



Free Shipping For Your First Year | Firstleaf Wine Club | Promo code KINJA

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of options, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers from now through Cyber Monday.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with three bottles of wine for just $15, plus $5 shipping. Every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. If you use this link and promo code Kinja when you sign up though, you’ll get free shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month.



Eufy White Smart Bulb | $12 | Amazon

Eufy Tunable White Smart Bulb | $15 | Amazon

Anker’s popular smart light bulbs don’t require a hub like Philips Hue, but they still work with both Alexa and Google Home, and are significantly less expensive than Philips’ offerings. If you want to incorporate them into your own smart home setup, the standard dimmable white bulbs are down to an all-time low $12, or you can do the correct thing and upgrade to tunable white bulbs for $15.



Timbuk2 Black Friday Sale

It may be Tuesday for you and me, but at Timbuk2, it’s already Black Friday. Backpacks, totes, messengers, and luggage are marked up to 50% off, including one of your favorite rolling carry-on bags, the Copilot. You’ll be wishing you had taken advantage of this sale a month from now, when the whirlwind of Christmas travel has taken its toll on your old bags and you have no replacements.


Eagle Creek Pack It Cube Set | $21 | Amazon

I know packing cubes can seem redundant—they’re like luggage for your luggage—but trust me when I say that they make packing, unpacking, and repacking during a trip so much more pleasant, and can also help you squeeze more clothes into your carry-on.

Eagle Creek makes some of the best cubes out there, and this three-piece set is down to $21 on Amazon today, within a few bucks of the best price ever.


The Shark Navigator Lift-Away is your favorite upright affordable vacuum, and Amazon’s marked it down to $98 today, well below its usual $140-$150, and the first time we’ve ever seen it under $100. This deal probably won’t last long though, so lock in your order before they’re all sucked up.



Philips Airfryer | $100 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Using a fraction of the oil than its deep frying counterparts, this $100 original Philips Airfryer is a healthier cooking option for all of your favorite fried foods. Because hey, at this time of year, every little bit helps.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this model. So if you’re going to eat french fries, they might as well be made in this.



Michelin Cyclone Wiper Blade Sale | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

The change in seasons is usually a good time to change your wiper blades, and these Michelin Cyclones even include a cover over the beam that helps them brush away large quantities of snow without getting clogged. They’re about 20% off across the board on Amazon right now, and you can use the part picker at the top of the page to find the right sizes for your car.



TravelPro Platinum Elite 21″ Expandable Carry-On | $227 | Amazon
Graphic: Chelsea Stone

Don’t you dare check any luggage if you’re boarding a flight for Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Years. If you want to take the holiday travel season by storm, consider going all in on this TravelPro Platinum Elite 21″ Expandable Carry-On, now marked down to $227.

It’s currently available on Amazon in four colors: a bold bordeaux, rich espresso, a soft gray, and classic black. And with magnetic spinner wheels, a ton of built-in accessory pockets, and a USB port and holder for your powerbank, this high-quality carry-on is really on a roll. Full disclosure: TravelPro once sent me this carry-on in red, and it’s the best, most stylish, most practical suitcase I’ve used, like, ever.



Thanksgiving is all about the big feast on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean you won’t need to feed your family and yourself before and after. Luckily, if you spend $60 on Prime Pantry items now, you’ll automatically receive a $10 discount and free shipping at checkout. So, stock up on snacks, not to mention loads of household and personal care products, ASAP. You’ll be grateful you did when hungry guests converge on your home, but dinner isn’t quite ready.



Christmas Trees at Home Depot
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

Your Christmas decor preferences reveal something about you as a person. If your tree is a 12-foot pre-lit behemoth, obviously you subscribe to the “go big or go home” newsletter. If you prefer to sit out a couple of 4-foot porch trees, you’re probably more traditional and understated. And if you’re drawn to color-changing aluminum trees? You’re either cool and modern or a foot soldier in the over-commercialization of Christmas, depending on who you talk to.

Whichever category you fit into, Home Depot has a Christmas tree you’ll like on sale, today only. With prices starting at just $45, you owe it to your future self to pick up a tree that speaks to you. You’ll be staring at it for years to come.



Ghost Paper Notebook | $19 | Amazon | Promo code KINJABF18

Even (or perhaps, especially) in the age of laptops and tablets, many people prefer the tactile experience of jotting down notes with an actual pen and paper, and the most tactile experience of all comes from the Ghost Paper Notebook.

Rather than simply printing lines on the sheet to keep your letters straight, Ghost Paper’s lines are very slightly embossed, giving your pen an actual base from which to start each character. We tried one of these out and loved it, and you can get your own notebook for an all-time low $19 for Black Friday with promo code KINJABF18.

Ghost Paper also comes in stationery form now, and you can get a set for just $10. That’s half the usual price, and the discount is due to a defect on the cartons that hold the paper and envelopes, though those are in perfect condition, which is all that really matters. Just add it to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.



$100 off all seating | Campaign | Promo code BLACKOUT
Photo: Campaign

Campaign’s sleek, adaptable chairs, loveseats, and sofas hardly ever go on sale, but this is Black Friday, and miracles do happen. Use promo code BLACKOUT at checkout to save $100 on all seating, including the company’s brand new sectionals.

If you aren’t familiar, Campaign’s main selling point (besides its relatively affordable price tag) is the ability to buy a new fabric cover at any time to install over the steel frame and memory foam cushions you already bought. So if you ever redecorate, or your cat just did too much damage to your original cover, you can always get a fresh look for a lot less than the cost of buying a brand new couch.



Magnasonic Jewelry Cleaner | $24 | Amazon
Graphic: Chelsea Stone

The holiday season calls for a little sparkle, but if you’re really looking to shine, your most valuable accessories could probably use a good scrubbing — not by hand, of course. Your jewels deserve only the best, so let this $24 Magnasonic Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner do the dirty work.

A three-minute cleaning cycle gently washes away any dirt and dust adorning your finest using only tap water. And even if you’re not the type to be decked out in diamonds, this handy machine can still clean up your glasses, watches, tools, coins, and even dentures.

If you have a lot to clean up, you might want to spring for this slightly more expensive version, also on sale for $30. Its tank is a bit larger, and boasts five preset timed cycles, as opposed to just one.


Even at full price, Aerobie’s AeroPress coffee maker is easily the cheapest and easiest way to make terrific coffee, and you can grab a very rare discount on yours today.

Amazon’s is selling the Aeropressfor $24 today, down from the usual $30 (which is an absolute steal, for the record). Unlike most products on Amazon, that price basically never moves, so if you’ve had your eye on this thing, I wouldn’t recommend waiting.

This is one of the easiest ways to make great coffee while traveling, and also a surprisingly great machine for making iced coffee as well, so you can really use it 365 days per year.

While you’re at it, we highly recommend picking up a reusable stainless steel filter to go with your new toy. It’s only $9, and it’ll pay for itself over time.


Fellow’s drinkware, coffee makers, and electric kettles look like they belong in a museum of modern art, and they’re every bit as functional as they are pretty.

The EKG+ kettle has built-in Bluetooth, so you can start heating up water for your morning coffee before you even get out of bed. The double-walled ceramic and copper coffee cups are designed for maximum heat retention. And the pour-over sets? They make great coffee.

Fellow gear hardly ever goes on sale, but the whole lineup is 20% off on Huckberry right now for Black Friday, so lock in your order before the deal gets cold.



Anova Precision Cooker Nano | $75 | Amazon

Anova Precision Cooker Wi-Fi + Bluetooth | $99 | Amazon

Anova’s older sous-vide cookers go on sale with some regularity, but Black Friday is one of your first chances to save on the newer, significantly smaller Nano circulator.

Advertisement

At 750W, it’s nearly as powerful as the old models, and still includes Bluetooth (but sadly not Wi-Fi), but it’ll take up a lot less space in your kitchen cabinets. In fact, this one can fit inside most drawers. Get it for an all-time low $75 on Amazon right now, down from the usual $99.

The larger, Wi-Fi enabled model is also on sale for an all-time low $99. The Wi-Fi is useful for heating up your water bath on your way home from work, and at 900W, it should heat up your water slightly faster. It will take up more space in your cabinets though.

Lifehacker has a great explainer on sous vide cooking for you to check out, but the basic idea is that you seal the food in a bags, and then cook it in precisely heated water over a longer period of time. It sounds weird, kind of like food hot tub, but the result is food that’s cooked to the exact right temperature all the way through.



Dyson V6 Absolute | $239 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Dyson’s V6 Absolute sits at the top of the iconic V6 cordless vacuum line, and while it’s been bested in recent years by the V8 and V10, it’s still a fantastic vacuum backed by amazing customer service.

In preparation for Black Friday, the V6 Absolute is priced at $239 on Amazon right now, which is the best non-refurb price we’ve ever seen, and actually cheaper than the lower-end V6 Motorhead and V6 Animal models. Trust us when we say that it’s worth the splurge.



Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron 12″ Skillet and 5.5-Quart Dutch Oven | $56 | Walmart
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

Whether you prefer to cook over a fire, in the oven, or on a stove, cast iron cookware will do the job. And if, for some reason, you don’t have any, this $56 Lodge Cast Iron Bundle would be an excellent starter pack. It comes with a 12″ skillet and 5.5-quart Dutch oven, so you can fry, bake, roast, and saute to your heart’s content. Best of all, as long as you take care of them, they’ll last forever, so no matter what goes wrong, at least you’ve got your cookware issue handled.



Shark ION X40 Cordless Vacuum | $150 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Shark clearly wants to take a bite out of Dyson with its aggressive move into the cordless vacuum space, and now you can get the X40 for its Black Friday price of just $150.

Advertisement

The X40 can run for up to 40 minutes on a charge (double what you’d get from a Dyson V6, the only Dyson that’s in the same ballpark in terms of price), or up to 30 minutes when using the powered head, which includes two separate brush rolls for grabbing small dust and larger debris. And yes, it also transforms into a hand vac for cleaning furniture, car seats, window blinds, and other hard-to-clean places.



Roomba 960 | $449 | Amazon

Roomba 890 | $349 | Amazon

The Roomba 960 is a bit extravagant, but at over $100 off, it might be worth considering if less expensive robotic vacuums haven’t checked all of your boxes.

Advertisement

The key feature here is an onboard camera that allows the Roomba to build a constantly-updating map of your home, which means it can clean every square foot without wasting an hour ping ponging around the same room. Of course, you’ll also get Wi-Fi for app control, and a more powerful cleaning system than the entry level models.

Today’s $449 price tag is an all-time low, and in fact, it’s $50 lower than listings we’ve seen in Black Friday ad scans, so there’s really no reason to wait.

For $100 less, you can opt for the Roomba 890, which has the same powerful cleaning engine, but lacks the advanced room-mapping sensors, and the visual smartphone report that shows you which parts of the house were cleaned. Any Roomba owner who’s watched one ping pong aimlessly around the house would probably tell you that it’s worth $100 to get the 960, but this is a fine option if you’re on a tighter budget.



Oster Wine Opener and Chiller | $24 | Amazon
Graphic: Chelsea Stone

Are you still opening room-temperature wine with one of those old twisty corkscrews? How pedestrian. Sip wine like the sophisticate you are with this Oster electric wine opener and chiller, now just $24 for both.

Advertisement

The set looks sleek enough to be highly regarded by sommeliers and casual winos alike. Plus, it’s completely wireless, so you can charge up before the festivities and then display your chilly bottles anywhere in your home when guests arrive to wine and dine. These are likely to be in high demand for upcoming holiday parties, so act quickly to get yours; don’t come whining to us if you miss out.



Starfrit Rotato Express Potato Peeler | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Chelsea Stone

Potatoes in their many forms are a Thanksgiving staple, but do you really want to spend the entire holiday bent over the trash can, peeling away, whilst only narrowly missing your own fingers? No-tato.

Advertisement

Starfrit’s Rotato electric peeler, now marked down to $20, is here to make things easier. This contraption neatly does all the peeling for you in one long loopy strip. And hey, it’s not just for potatoes either — say so long to peeling any fruits and vegetables year round, too.



15% off Herman Miller Sale | Design Within Reach

15% off Sitewide | Herman Miller

Herman Miller furniture is legendary, and also legendarily out of reach for most of us. But if you have one chair, table, or bed that you’ve just been dying to get your hands on, Design Within Reach is taking a rare 15% off over 200 Herman Miller items right now, so you won’t find a better chance to splurge.

Advertisement

Update: Don’t see what you’re looking for? Herman Miller is also offering 15% off directly.

The world-famous Aeron office chair is one of our readers’ favorites, and the Embody is another great option for your home office. If you’re looking for something a little less heavy, the Setu is an awesome task chair, and the Eames is of course, timeless.

Meanwhile, I’m sitting here drooling over the Noguchi coffee table, so find me on Venmo if you want to donate to the cause. Herman Miller only does one or two 15% discounts on their own site per year, so this is as good a deal as you’re ever likely to see.



Marvel Thor Hammer Tool Set | $75 | ThinkGeek
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

ThinkGeek’s Marvel Thor Hammer Tool Set almost never goes on sale, so we hope it’s not one of Loki’s illusions that the price today is just $75 rather than the regular $100. (Plus, you can snag a free ThinkGeek 19th Anniversary T-Shirt when you add one to your cart and use code NINETEE.) You’ll feel mighty indeed with this 44-piece collection, which you are no doubt worthy to wield. A word of advice, though: Don’t loan it to the goddess of death if you want it back in usable condition.



Gerber Paraframe Mini Knife | $6 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Gerber’s 4.4 star-rated paraframe knife features a minimalist handle that keeps weight to a minimum, and a deal that keeps is price to a minimum. You’ll want one for yourself to open up all of your Black Friday purchases, but you should probably buy some extras as stocking stuffers.



Amazon Brand Rivet Foam Mattresses | $359-$499 | Amazon
Photo: Amazon

I suppose it was only a matter of time, but Amazon makes mattresses now. This model is sold under its Rivet furniture brand, and includes the same 100 night trial, three-layer foam construction, and slick marketing photos you’ve come to expect from all those other online mattress places.

Advertisement

If you’re in the market for a better night’s sleep, the Full, Queen, and King sizes are on sale for $90, $100, and $125 off their usual prices, respectively, with Prime shipping available.


Netgear’s Arlo home security cameras are among the few that can run completely on battery power, and the newer Pro models add additional touches like rechargeable batteries (rather than watch batteries), improved motion detection, two-way intercom, and a base station with 100 decibel alarm. So if you’re ready to start monitoring your home like a paranoid person, Walmart will sell you the two camera starter kit for $239 today, an all-time low.



Custom wall prints at Amazon
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

There are two ways to share your favorite photos with your friends. You can show them on your phone and pray that they don’t start swiping through your gallery, or you can party like it’s 1999 and actually display a physical copy of the photo somewhere in your home. The latter is much safer and more impressive, and it’s not as much of a hassle as you remember thanks to Amazon, where all purchases are as painless as possible. Custom canvas prints there start at just $24, so you can finally hang some art on your walls like a functioning adult. Next on the list: Cooking a meal with pots and pans instead of in the microwave.


This OXO spiralizer can cut your favorite fruits and vegetables into versatile stings and strands, and includes three different blades, and even suction cups on the bottom to keep it locked to your counter. Today’s $24 price tag is $16 less than usual, making it the perfect gift for the home chef who has everything.



BLACK+DECKER CHV1410L 16V Cordless Lithium Hand Vacuum | $42 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Cordless hand vacs are handy for cleaning the nooks and crannies of your house, but they’re especially great for vacuuming out your car. This 16 volt model from Black & Decker is just $42 today on Amazon, the best price we’ve seen all year.



DEWALT DCK590L2 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 3.0 Ah 5-Tool Combo Kit | $349 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

This DEWALT five-tool cordless combo kit would be the ultimate holiday gift for any home improvement enthusiast, and its $349 Black Friday price is a full $50 less than the previous all-time low on Amazon.

Advertisement

That’s a decent chunk of change, but it’s got everything you need to cosplay as a Property Brother, including a hammer drill, a reciprocating saw, a circular saw, an impact driver, a work light, and two batteries that you can share between all the tools.



Solimo Household Essentials Sale | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Of the seemingly dozens of private label brands Amazon has launched this year, Solimo is probably the broadest. Encompassing everything from gummy vitamins to shampoo to coffee pods to razors, it aims to be your everything when it comes to home essentials.

Advertisement

For a limited time, Amazon’s offering discounts on dozens of different items, including their ultra-popular melatonin gummies, a big bottle olive oil, food storage bags, and a lot more. Like I said, it’s a really broad brand.

Some of the deals are straight discounts (usually 20%, as far as I can tell), and some require you to clip an on-page coupon. Some deals combine both, so you can stack the savings.



Appliances at Home Depot
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

If there’s a day that will make you take a long, hard look at your current appliance situation, it’s Thanksgiving. Is your oven capacity adequate for everything you need to cook? Do you have enough fridge space for all the leftovers? Can your dishwasher handle the massive flood of plates and utensils coming its way?

Advertisement

The more questions you answered “no” to, the more you’ll save during Home Depot’s appliance sale, where buying two appliances will net you $60 off, but a purchase of six or more will save a whopping $500. That means you can upgrade your entire suite at once! (If you need help finding a sixth appliance to add, wine coolers totally qualify.)

Note that some exclusions apply, but many items are already legit deals at Special Buy prices.



Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Gerber’s suspension multi-plier features 12 tools in one package, meaning you’re spending less than $2 per function today. If you don’t already own one, you should take this opportunity to rectify that. If you do, buy some more to give away as holiday gifts.
