How to choose a refrigerator on Black Friday

With all the brands and models you see when you browse Black Friday refrigerator deals, it’s going to be tough to select what to buy. Our first tip is to focus on the tried-and-tested brands so you won’t be disappointed by durability and technology issues. The names you should be looking for include Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and GE, among others. You may save a few more dollars if you go for a refrigerator made by a lesser-known manufacturer, but you’re opening yourself up to the risk of not getting your money’s worth as the appliance may break down too soon or it may not live up to your expectations in making food stay fresh.

To further narrow down your choices among Black Friday refrigerator deals, an important factor to consider is the size. If only one person uses the refrigerator, less than 10 cu. ft. may suffice, but larger families will want to go for 20 cu. ft. or more. You should also check out the interiors before you purchase, especially if you have a particular way of organizing your fridge. Other helpful features include smart technology for linking with other connected devices, built-in water and ice dispensers, and customizable temperature settings for different compartments.

You will not only get several dollars of savings with any of our recommended bargains, as we want you to feel extremely good with your purchase.

There are so many Black Friday refrigerator deals spread out across all of the retailers participating in the shopping event, so it will take some time to figure out where you can get a particular refrigerator for its lowest price during the sale. If it’s in our roundup, that’s the lowest price for that refrigerator for Black Friday, and we’ll keep updating this page whenever we find a more affordable price for it elsewhere.

The best Black Friday deals under $50: The North Face, Philips Norelco, and more
Wrapped presents with a red background

Update 11/21/24: There are so many deals and events going on right now that it is hard to keep track. Walmart's early access Black Friday went live as we were hunting for these initial deals, for instance. That means that Black Friday is really essentially officially here, but there are more goodies to come, as well. Have fun shopping and don't stress too much about timing as you go.

As you may know, Black Friday deals are supposed to be here on November 29th, but nowadays, the season starts earlier. In response, we're collecting deals ahead of time so you can beat the rush and get the best of the best before it sells out. The following deals were selected for their affordability, with no product costing over $50 after the deal is applied (your sales tax burden may vary by state, though, of course!), so you can get things on this list without worrying about breaking any budget barriers you've set for the month. In other words, this is a list where you can pretty much have a guilt-free treat yourself moment, so long as you have a budget that allows for $50 Black Friday deals.

What to shop in the REI Winter Sale on gear and clothing

It seems obvious, but I would recommend sitting down and either considering or figuring out what gear you and your family need this winter. Actually, sit down and figure out if there's any gear you'll need for the coming year. Some of the items on sale are usable year-round, like camping, hiking, and fitness gear. But let's provide some examples. In the REI Winter Sale, you can save up to 30% off The North Face apparel, up to 30% off outdoor electronics like Garmin, BioLite, and more, up to 25% off footwear, including boots, and up to 50% off jackets. Again, those are just some quick examples. There are a ton of other options in this sale.
