Black Friday is here (I know, you already knew this because you can’t escape the ads for it no matter what you try to do). Even though they day is mostly just a big marketing push to get you to buy a bunch of stuff you don’t need, there are a few cool things available at a good price – so you have that going for you, which is nice.
Here are ten things I would buy if I were you (assuming that you don’t have these things already and have a little extra money to burn).
iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus
So you didn’t wait in line with everyone else to get the new iPhone, well that actually worked out pretty well for you since this weekend at Best Buy, you can save up to $200 on the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus and Target is hooking you up with a free $250 Target gift card if you grab the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus.
Target is also offering a pretty good plan on the iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus for $23.34 per month with Verizon, AT&T or Sprint – and with $0 down.
A Badass Ugly Christmas Sweater
You’re probably going to be invited to an ugly Christmas sweater party in the next couple of weeks – so you might as well be prepared with a sick Darth Vader Holiday sweater. Hell, wear it to all of your Holiday parties and Christmas morning too. Think Geek has a big selection of cool sweaters and this weekend you can save 20% on all orders over $80 so be sure to pick up some stocking stuffers too.
A Smart TV
Black Friday weekend is just a good time to get a great deal on a new, bigger, and better television and there are a ton of deals to do just that. Some of the best deals are a Sharp 50-inch 2160p 4K Smart Ultra HD Roku TV, marked down from $499.99 to $179.99 at Best Buy and the Samsung 55” Class Curved 4K (2160P) Smart LED TV which is going for less $697, down from $1,199. There’s also the LG Electronics OLED55B6P Flat 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2016 Model), reduced from $2,499 to $1,549 at Amazon — which is a nice savings of $950.
