Are Black Friday deals under $50 a good value?

While most Black Friday ads tend to focus on big ticket items like TVs, laptops and major appliances, there are plenty of more affordable items that you can snag for less during this massive sale event. That includes everyday basics like pillows and towels, as well as more budget-friendly gadgets like smart home essentials, earbuds and small kitchen appliances that make great gifts or stocking stuffers. So you definitely don’t have to spend a fortune to take advantage of Black Friday savings.

Where will I find the best Black Friday deals under $50?

Pretty much all major retailers — including Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart — are having major Black Friday sales where you can shop thousands of bargains. However, many brands are also offering their own direct discounts, so if you’re in the market for a specific product, it’s worth checking the brand’s website as sometimes you can score some additional savings.

TVs used to be expensive, even the smaller models. But these days, you can find quality TVs of all sizes for super affordable prices. This is especially true during holiday sale events, like Black Friday. Many retailers including Samsung, LG and others are currently offering great deals on some of their best-selling options. There are a bunch of options to choose from, so you can snag something fantastic within your budget.

Looking for more discounts? CNET has the best deals from Samsung, LG and many others, along with promo code offers — all updated and verified daily.

For years now, Prusa has been making some of the best 3D printers available, and this Black Friday, it’s introduced a bunch of freebies to go along with a purchase of most models of its 3D printers. These freebies include free worldwide shipping, as well as an extra roll of Prusa filament.

Because these freebies are, well, free, you don’t have to do anything to get them. Simply order yourself a Prusa Mk4, Mk3S+, Prusa Mini, or SLS1 resin printer and gifts will be added to your order depending on the type of bundle you bought. For example, if you get the Prusa Mk4 — one of CNET’s best fast 3D printers — you’ll receive:

• Free worldwide shipping.
• An extra roll of orange filament (you already get a roll in the box).
• A textured build plate to use with other materials.
• Two models worth $30 each.
• A free Fusion 360 course to help you design your own models for 3D printing.
• A $10 voucher to Fab365’s model library.

Just the filament and build plate alone are worth $70, and the free worldwide shipping is incredibly helpful if you live far from Europe. If you choose the SLS1, you’ll receive free resin instead of filament, but that’s still a good deal when you need to stock up on that anyway. There are also a few caveats that go with the free shipping (orders over 30 rolls of filament, for example), so check out Prusa’s blog before you buy to make sure you’re good to go.

Prusa also has a more conventional sale on materials and on spare parts like nozzles, so it’s well worth heading over to the store to simply look around. And if Prusa is a little too rich for your bank account, then have a look at some of our other Black Friday 3D printer deals, here.

You won’t find any discounts on Switch consoles or accessories at Nintendo’s online store, but it has announced that it will be rolling out some new bundle deals at select partner retailers throughout November. Plus, you can find big savings on hundreds of digital games at Nintendo’s eShop.

Where will the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals be?

As noted above, Nintendo is partnering with various retailers to offer Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals. That includes Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target, among others. Right now we’re seeing some of the best accessory deals at GameStop.

Living in New York means sliding around in some pretty tight and crowded spaces, and a bulbous backpack can turn you into a subway villain fast. Ekster makes slick and ergonomic tech gear and travel accessories, and its new Grid backpack is perfect for carrying your tech and goods without inadvertently knocking into strangers whenever you turn or pivot.

I love this compact backpack, but it’s admittedly on the pricey side. Right now, the Grid is down to an all-time low of $156 — normally $195 — for Black Friday. That’s a heck of a good price for this quality bag with structure, smart design and all the right storage spots for essentials.

What’s so great about it? The Grid flaps open completely so you can pack and organize with maximum efficiency. There’s a quick-stash laptop compartment and another to protect a pair of fragile shades with an outdoor water bottle pocket. It’s made from recycled PET bottles and fully waterproof in case you get caught in a shower on your way to showing off your new backpack to friends. It’s also slimmer than your standard backpack, and it honestly just looks cooler than most.

The Ekster Black Friday sale spans far beyond the backpack. You can nab the brand’s excellent, spring-loaded card carriers, sleek wallets and power banks for as much as 50% off.

The Pixel 7 might not be the latest and greatest phone Google has to offer these days, but it’s still a very capable handset, and it looks great in this black obsidian finish. It’s a phone that comes unlocked, and with 128GB of storage, and this Black Friday it can be yours with a massive $170 off.

That means this Woot deal will get you the unlocked Pixel 7 for just $430, and all without any discount codes or on-screen coupons for you to deal with. However, this being a Black Friday bargain means you have only a matter of days left before this price is gone for good.

The Google Pixel 7 comes with the fast, Google-designed Tensor G2 chip inside, which means you’ll be able to play games and open apps in no time at all. It’s compatible with all the major carriers, including Google Fi, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and others.

Out front, you’ll find a large, 6.3-inch display that promises vivid colors and sharp images, while the battery will run for at least 24 hours per charge. If you do need to get extra time out of that charge, you can use the special Extreme Battery Saver feature to turn that 24 hours into a full 72 hours.

This being a Pixel phone, you know you’re getting a strong camera game, with an 8x Super Res Zoom camera offering a Cinematic Blur feature to make your videos look even more impressive, whether you watch them on your phone or the big screen.

Remember that these deals aren’t going to stick around for long, and the best way to make sure you don’t miss out is to get your order in as soon as possible, before it’s too late.
