Black Friday was once defined by long lines, cold mornings, and anxious shoppers hoping their must-have item wasn’t already gone. Now, the nation’s biggest shopping event has stretched far beyond a single day. Retailers are embracing an early start, rolling out deep discounts even before Thanksgiving Day. This year, the savings are bigger, bolder, and arriving faster than expected.

Early Black Friday deals now include major price drops on top tech, beauty favorites, home essentials, and even gym memberships. Whether you’re searching for holiday gifts, replacing outdated gadgets, or simply treating yourself after a long semester, this year’s early offerings are too good to ignore. These deals are practical, exciting, and most importantly, at their lowest prices of the year. From Apple earbuds to gym memberships, here are seven standout early Black Friday deals worth grabbing before they disappear.
