It is nearly here, folks! The day that marks the beginning of the holiday season as well as one of the best chances you’ll get to do some shopping and grab yourself some great deals is right around the corner. There are numerous retailers who will have their doors open starting tonight at midnight, while others are offering discounts and deals the entire week. And what better chance is there to grab yourself some of those much desired gadgets than with the occasion of this year’s Black Friday sales?
Considering that Thanksgiving is here already, you’ve probably haven’t had the time to check out what long awaited discounts you can find this year. And because, as we all know, things get pretty hectic with this occasion and the prospect of waiting in lines in the most crowded stores just to see if you can find yourself something useful is far from appealing, you should always be prepared.
To make things easier for you, we’ve compiled a shopping and deals guide for you with the most appealing offers we’ve found out there, from the most accessible retailers – no matter where you are.
1. Walmart Black Friday Deals 2015
Walmart has really put together a great set of services for their sales and deals for this year’s Black Friday. Considering the deals and promotions alone weren’t enough, Walmart is offering the free Walmart App that you can find the nearest Walmart store with, wherever you may be as well as an extensive browsing and shopping experience.
Not only that, but they’re offering online specials for you in case you won’t be able to make it there in person in time. Some of the products can be shipped to your home while others will be put on reserve and have you travel to the store of choice to pick them up instead.
Also the famous 1 Hour Guarantee Black Friday 2015 Deals are back: Walmart promises 5 offers for the people still in line when and if the store runs out. These offers come with delivery by Christmas and include the iPad Air 2, Beats Studio Headphones, LG 55” Class Smart 4k UHD TV, Xbox One 500 GB Gears of War Bundle with a $30 Walmart Gift Card and the 15” HP Touch Laptop.
The sale starts today at 6 PM and will last throughout the entirety of Friday. Online sales begin Thursday 3:01 AM EST / 12:01 AM PST.

2. Best Buy Black Friday Deals 2015
Best Buy has its fair share of deals you can enjoy this year – over 300 products will be available for purchase with various percentages off. While for some smaller items you may save $20, there are full-fledged ultra HD television sets on offer that you would be saving up to $2,000 on.
Similarly to how Walmart chose to handle things, Best Buy will be making their Black Friday prices available today at 5 PM. The stores will close at 1 AM on Friday only to reopen again at 8 AM. In addition, online shopping will be available throughout the entire duration, with a variety of items limited to Thursday.
There is a small amount of products you can already order online right now for the same price that they will be available for when Black Friday comes. They include $100 – $125 off on iPad Air 2 prices, 40” HDTV Insigna television set for $159 and the 55” variant for $349, the 27” iMac and 13” MacBook with $150 off as well as a promotional $250 Gift Card when you purchase the Galaxy S6.
As a last note, My Best Buy members who have either Elite or Elite Plus status and will be spending more than $1,500 in purchases can benefit from early access to Black Friday deals right now.
3. Apple Black Friday Deals 2015
As of right now, there is no Apple Ad showing up on their website or stores. However, if we were to judge on past experience, instead of opting for the usual promotions where you can get products at reduced prices, Apple switches it up a little by offering Gift Cards with the purchases you make with them. At least that’s what they’ve done in 2014.
However, your better chances of getting reduced prices on targeted Apple products are actually in other stores such as Radio Shack, Best Buy and Walmart.
While for example Walmart has already listed discounts between $35 and $70 for a number of Apple tablets, you shouldn’t get your hopes up for getting any of the iPhones on discount there. It seems that most retailers only offer reduced prices for the iPads and iPods only. Best Buy is one example where you’ll be able to buy the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus with a 2-year contract with Sprint starting at $99 and $199 respectively for the 1-Day Deal they offer.
At Sam’s Club you can get the 64 and 128 GB models of the iPad Air 2 for prices nearly $150 lower than usual. Target offers $80 to $250 Gift Cards for iPhone 6S/6S Plus, Apple Watch, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 2 and iPad Mini 4.
4. Amazon Black Friday Deals 2015
This year, Amazon is doing what it knows and does best. Considering there are no physical stores and lines to wait in, it might be a lot more suitable – provided of course that you manage to grab a thing or two off the website.
Amazon’s Black Friday deals have already started earlier this week through limited-time Lighting Deals and a separate set of Deals of the Day for each day of the week up until Friday included. The website advertises that new deals may appear every 5 minutes depending on stock.
Visiting the Black Friday page on the Amazon website will show you different sections where you can find a variety of deals of all kinds. The current Black Friday Device Deals include:

5. Sam’s Club Black Friday Deals 2015
Sam’s Club is also already open for business, mostly because it’s one of the few stores who does not open on Thanksgiving Day in order to allow its employees to stay home with their families. The Sam’s Club Black Friday sales have already started at 7AM and if you move fast enough you might get another chance at grabbing yourself a few electronics or gadgets.
Those deals are offered both via samsclub.com and in-club and come at prices that will be valid through November 29th, at least as long as supplies last. Here are a few examples:

6. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile Black Friday Deals 2015
Black Friday Deals come to phone carriers too. While that might not reflect so much through price plans, they still are one of your most reliable retailer for mobile phones and other handheld devices. All three of the most popular mobile phone carriers in the United States have come up with something of their own this year; if you hurry you might get your hands on some pretty neat yet super limited deals.
Sprint Black Friday Deals 2015
- 50% off a Samsung Galaxy S6 – an offer for both already existing customers and new ones, provided that they add a new line; the phone comes with a 2-year commitment contract but also gains you access to Amazon Prime when you activate your phone.
- A new type of contract will be available for a limited amount of time known as iPhone Forever: it will allow you to upgrade to the latest iPhone as soon as it’s available, including it in your monthly price. This means you’ll get prioritized for your iPhone orders as well as offering you a one-time chance to get the iPhone 6S as low as $1/month.
- A treat for already existing customers only: the new LG G4 from Sprint Offer comes for $18 a month via Spring Easy-Pay lease and purchasing it will earn you a few 24-inch LG HDTV worth $179.

AT&T Black Friday Deals 2015
AT&T takes a little leap away from the classic discount of phones business to offer you some other types of special deals on the kind of products that you may not expect.
- Savings on a great number of accessories: $10 to 40% savings on LG Tone Pro Bluetooth headphones, Braven BRV-1 Bluetooth speaker, BodyGuardz screen protectors, Belkin home and car chargers, Otterbox phone cases, Pelican cases, ZAGG screen covers, speakers and portable chargers;

AT&T will also begin a new sale starting December 1st, continuing the trend of vastly reduced prices on accessories and other deals.
T-Mobile Black Friday Deals 2015
The Black Friday deals that T-Mobile offers mark the beginning of the holiday season – some of the offers they make will only be available for a limited time while others will continue until the holidays. Some of the most appealing things T-Mobile will be offering both its already existing and new or potential customers that we found are:
- Simple Choice plan users will be provided with unlimited 4G LTE for 3 months of trial (only supported by LTE devices), complete free of charge. Only available for customers already on the plan.
- Free Galaxy S6 or Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7-inch Android tablet: by trading in your old phone and signing up for 18 months of T-Mobile Jump On-Demand plan, you can get the Galaxy S6 or the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi tablet free of charge; however, once the 18 months expire you either have to pay off the remaining balance to keep using them or return them.
- iPhone 6S Upgrade. T-Mobile offers its existing customers a completely free upgrade from your iPhone 6S or 6S Plus from the 16 GB models to the 64 GB. Additionally, the 128 GB model will cost what the current 64 GB one does. This offer only available for Cyber Monday – November 30th.
Following the Black Friday offers, T-Mobile will begin another 3 weeks of deals, 1 new deal every week that will be mostly targeted towards customers from other carriers.
7. RadioShack Black Friday Deals 2015
Yet another Black Friday early bird, RadioShack has already begun its sale yesterday. However, the entire array of deals will last through Saturday, November 28th, while supplies last. Most offers can be grabbed either in retail stores or via their website, however a small number of items can benefit from the discounts only in stores.

- Apple TV 32 GB for $149.99, 64 GB for $199.99;

Making purchases in stores may come with some benefits however: customers who make purchases of $50 or more on any kind of items minus the Amazon Fire Tablet will be given a free Hovermaxx UFO.
