The “Better than Black Friday Sale” is eBay’s early promotion. If you’re in the market for big-ticket items like TVs, computers and other tech items, don’t miss this presale. This online retailer just might beat out many of its top competitors with ultra-low prices well before the shopping holiday officially hits.

Walmart

Pre-Black Friday deals usually drop days before the big event, so hurry to its website or your local store for some early savings on just about everything.

Prices usually start dropping around November 19th, and usually running right through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Look for doorbuster offers like free Google Home Minis when you make select purchases during the presale.

Lowe’s

Appliances and tools are usually discounted the entire month of November, plus Lowe’s usually releases a Black Friday preview on Thanksgiving wee This is a great time to snap up last-minute holiday decor and home gadgets like the Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell and Google Home Mini.

This retailer really gets into the holiday spirit, offering several early bird and official Black Friday sales events. Last year, the official line-up was:

• November 15 to 20: Pre-Party Sale. Save 40% off your entire purchase, online and in store.

Samsung

Pre-Black Friday discounts usually start around mid-November, so check for early deals on TVs, laptops, Galaxy smartphones and more. Note that some early deals won’t be released until closer to the main event, so browse through the sneak peeks on Samsung’s website to get the most bang for your holiday buck.

Microsoft

Score early savings on electronics at Microsoft starting in mid-November. Some of the biggest presale discounts from last year were:

• Surface laptop 2: Save up to $300
• Xbox One X: Save $100 plus bundle specials
• Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass: $1 for 1 month

If you’re shopping for Microsoft products at other retailers like Best Buy, it’s worth seeing if they’ll price match these deals.

Newegg

As in years past, we expect Newegg to launch pre-Black Friday deals will change every day leading up to the big event, starting around November 19th.

Gamestop

GameStop’s Black Friday deals usually start a few days early and run straight through Cyber Monday. Most of the deals are expected to be similar to competitors’, but you’ll get the perk of being able to shop early at GameStop.

The stand-out deals from last year’s presale were:

• 1TB Xbox One Minecraft bundle: $199
• 1TB PS4 + Spider-Man bundle: $199
• PSVR bundle: $249

GameStop also offered a “30% whatever you can stuff in a bag” promo in the past. There are typically some exceptions, but this could be a fun and cheap way to shopping for lots of stocking stuffers.

New York & Company

Starting the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, this fashion brand’s early sale boasted up to 75% in savings on everything online and in stores last year. Expect official Black Friday doorbusters will kick off at 7 a.m. EST Thanksgiving Day.
