Note that in-store Black Friday shopping is known for its energetic (OK, chaotic) energy: frantic customers, long lines and the excitement of knowing you just scored an amazing discount. Some folks even camp outside overnight to lock in deals on items like TVs and iPads. That experience isn’t for everyone. With many retailers offering the same deals online, it’s worth considering whether you’re better off buying online or in-store.
If you do happen to be in the market for a specific product, there’s a good chance you won’t have to shop in person to pick it up on sale. We’ve collected some of the season’s absolute best online offers across several categories, retailers and price ranges.
