iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Prepare some turkey leftovers and brace yourself for one of the busiest shopping days of the year. But this year’s black Friday deals aren’t only available in stores, continuing a trend toward earlier and more online deals.
As in previous years, the best deals may only be a quick click away, or months away if you can wait for winter clearance deals. Before you plan to buy, check your local store for restrictions, limited supplies, cut-off times and don’t forget comparison shopping. Many doorbuster deals will go very quickly unless you line up early, but ask yourself: is this worth losing sleep?
With that in mind, here are some noteworthy black Friday deals:
Amazon
Amazon launched “Eight Days of Black Friday deals” last Friday, including three “covered deals of the day” at midnight on Thanksgiving and then again on Friday. Deals include up to 45 percent off select Samsung TVs:

– Samsung 55-inch Curved Smart 4K Ultra HD LED TV for $1,298.
Amazon Prime members receive 30 minutes of early access to select “lightning deals,” which can be added as often as every 10 minutes.
