Although Thanksgiving is by nature an American custom, the pull of capitalism has made Black Friday a consumerist ritual for many countries around the globe. It’s a celebration of what truly matters — sales.


Nothing’s sweeter than the rush of scoring a great deal on a coveted purchase. The addictive feeling of saving a few — or more than a few — bucks is only intensified by the adrenaline that starts pumping through your body as the clock ticks past Thanksiving’s midnight into . . . Black Friday.

And while there was something to be said about the era when Black Friday shopping meant pressing your face against the glass doors of an electronics store or bowling over other shoppers to snag the best items in the Victoria’s Secret sale — or what have you, everyone does their Black Friday online these days.

But not all is lost. You can still capture the rush of adrenaline and accomplishment. Black Friday deals have finally launched — so get ready for savings-galore.

Expert tip: resist the temptation to get trigger-happy. That’s how they get you.

Don’t just add-to-cart, add-to-cart, add-to-cart simply because stuff is absurdly discounted, be strategic. It’s all in the plan. But what are the best-value sales? Where to look for the greatest savings?

While there are countless markdowns over Black Friday weekend, smart shoppers are discerning shoppers. Whether you’re getting your holiday gifting out of the way or treating yourself this season, here are some of the best Black Friday deals I’m eyeing:
