Coupon Queen: Black Friday sales extension

Black Friday sales will look different than in previous years. To help promote social distancing, stores will extend the Black Friday sales throughout the whole month of November and into December while also heavily promoting online deals. Regardless of these changes, there are going to be some big sales you won't want to miss. Are you wondering what you should buy during these Black Friday sales? Here are the top eight buys. Small kitchen appliances Small kitchen appliances such as toasters, coffee makers, slow cookers, pressure cookers and air fryers are always the lowest prices of the year during the Christmas season. Last year, some smaller items went as low as $3 each after mail-in rebates and Kohl's Cash. Cookware Black Friday sales will have deals whether you are looking for a small starter set or gourmet kitchenware. You can find great sales at stores such as Kohl's and Macy's. Video games and consoles You'll be able to find a slew of deals on gaming consoles like the PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. You'll also find great prices on the games that go along with them. Keep your eyes peeled for gaming console bundles with a free game attached. These video game deals will often hit the shelves at stores such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target. Ride-on toys This time of year, you'll see a big price drop on ride-on toys for children and toddlers. Walmart and Target usually have the biggest selection, but Kohl's usually offers a sale along with Kohl's Cash. Amazon devices We'll see significant savings on Amazon devices such as the Echo Show, Echo Dot and the Fire tablets. Prices should be just as low as or could beat Amazon's Prime Days in October. These sales can be found at Amazon but also Kohl's, Target and Best Buy. High-end headphones Christmas sales bring doorbuster deals on high-quality headphones such as Beats, Apple AirPods, Sony and JBL. You should be able to find both in-store and online deals at Sam's Club, Costco, Target, Walmart and Best Buy. Tablets Black Friday sales are great for those looking for an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy tablet. There are a lot of options to think about such as size and storage space, so you'll want to do your research before the sales go live. Be sure to check out these sales as soon as they hit online since they often sell out quickly. Cameras Whether you are looking for a high-quality DSLR camera or a Fujifilm Instax for a teen, you should be able to find some great bundle deals while shopping the Black Friday sales. These sales will often offer free accessories such as an SD card, film, bag or lenses. With Black Friday sales being extended, start doing your research on when the items on your list will go on sale. Many ads are already online with more being added daily. I've already started my list and checking it twice. This week's deal Here's a deal to grab this week at CVS. Spend $15 on CoverGirl cosmetics and get $6 back in ExtraBucks Rewards. (ExtraBucks can be spent like cash in the store.) These items could make great stocking stuffers for teens. Rachel Krych is passionate about helping others spend less and save more.
