If you’ve been sneaking some extra money into your shopping fund all year long, the time is officially nigh to break open that piggy bank: Black Friday is approaching quickly, and Target has unleashed a lot of its deals way early—along with intel on the different easy ways to save big.
If you’re a brick-and-mortar shopper, you better eat your holiday feast early: The in-store deals start at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and last through 1 a.m. on Friday, November 23. Then, for true Black Friday fiends—who reserve Thanksgiving for fighting over the last piece of pumpkin pie rather than the last, say, discounted fitness tracker on the shelf—the savings will continue the next morning at 7 a.m.
To make things a little less chaotic while you’re racing through the aisles, Target team members will be walking around with mobile checkout technology so you can skip the extra-long lines. Target’s app also features Black Friday store maps, so you can plan out your course of action ahead of time. Basically, start strategizing now, bargain hunters!
Anyone who wants to avoid shopping in person can score major deals online, too—and sooner. Instead of waiting until Target opens on Thanksgiving Day, scan the website early that morning: all the savings will already be available. And those who have a REDcard get access to select Black Friday deals online the day before, on November 21. Don’t worry about a delay in receiving your packages, either: With the store’s Amazon Prime-style free two-day shipping throughout the holiday season, you’ll get your goodies in the mail almost as quickly as you would if you went out and picked ’em up IRL.
Ready to shop? Here are 7 deals to snag from Target’s Black Friday sale.
1. Instant Pot 7-in-1 Duo 6-qt. pressure cooker, $70
Normally, this Instant Pot model costs $100, but the Black Friday deal lets you snag one for $30 less. Plus, you also get a $10 Target gift card with your purchase—which you can put toward the ingredients you’ll need to make your healthy pressure-cooker meals.
2. Keurig K-Mini single-serve coffee maker, $50
Who wouldn’t want to score a Keurig at 40 percent off? This one—which normally retails for $80—brews coffee in minutes and is perfect for the smallest of living spaces thanks to its sleek design.

6. Beats Solo3 Wireless Neighborhood Collection, $180
