It’s less than a week before Black Friday, but Amazon already launched its sale. We’d become accustomed to seeing Black Friday deals start the week of Thanksgiving. This year sets a new benchmark, pushing Black Friday–quality discounts even earlier to the week before, and we’ve noted hundreds of worthwhile deals on the expert-tested Wirecutter picks we recommend.We still advise caution, as not every claimed discount lives up to the hype. But below, we’ve highlighted the sales that are worth your attention, and we’ll be honest — there are more than we expected at this point, including sales on small kitchen appliances, electronics, skin care, and board games. We don’t expect to see prices fall much further, if at all, so this is an opportunity to get your shopping squared away earlier than you might have anticipated.
