I'm now on my 11th year covering Black Friday deals for Tom's Guide, and I've been covering tech overall since the Palm Pilot was actually a thing. So I know a lot about gadgets — and can tell the difference between a great Black Friday sale and one that is just meh.

For me, a great Black Friday deal needs to be the lowest price ever for that product, and it's fairly easy to check if you use a tool of the trade like CamelCamelCamel, a website that makes it easy to check the price history of any product on Amazon. And, of course, the product has to be worth your money based on our testing and reviews.

Right now Tom's Guide is tracking the best Black Friday deals across Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart with our live blogs and roundups. So to help you save I'm highlighting the very best discounts right now across multiple categories and retailers. Happy savings!
