Many of us — our deals editors included — have been patiently waiting for Target to get in on the early Black Friday savings, and the mega-retailer finally decided to let us in on its plans. The entire month of November will be full of opportunities to save on editor- and reader-favorite products across various categories leading up to the busy holiday shopping weekend.
When does Target’s Black Friday sale start?
Target’s official Black Friday sale starts online on Nov. 28 and in stores on Nov. 29. If you want to stock up ahead of time, though, the retailer is having new early Black Friday deals from now through Nov. 9, with deals up to 50% off.
Other key dates to mark on your calendar are weeklong deals that drop every Sunday, while Target’s Deal of the Day will last through Dec. 24, bringing exclusive deals to Target Circle members.
Early Target Black Friday home, kitchen and decor deals
Get all your holiday cooking projects knocked out with this handy set of a dozen pans, pots and accompanying lids. The nonstick coating is meant to last for five years, meaning you don’t have to replace the set for quite a few holiday seasons to come.
A half-price air fryer for almost-fat-free crisping and what amounts to an extra pair of hands in the kitchen? Yes, please! Get dinner knocked out with less stress with this half-off machine.
Keep yourself powered up throughout the day with this single-serve — and half-off — K-Cup coffee maker. There’s even a Strong Brew button if you need a turbo boost in the early hours or during that 2:00 p.m. lull.
This classic Kitchen Aid stand mixer comes in four great colorways, from modern matte black to iconic Empire Red. A trio of attachments that’ll help get you through most kitchen projects are included too. Also an option? There's a gorgeous Hearth and Hand edition featuring a copper bowl and matte ivory colorway that's also on sale.
There are deals in this sale, and then there are deals. This is one of the latter: You’ll get an elegantly designed, multipurpose oven that amounts to basically having an extra assistant in the kitchen right as holiday entertaining kicks into full gear. And did we mention it’s $130 off?
One of our editor-favorite appliances, the Creami is currently $20 off — giving you some bonus cash for ingredients to make all your favorite sweet treats (even on dairy-free or keto diets).
Fitting semi-flush against ceilings, this mounted light looks way more expensive than its price tag with its gold hardware and frosted glass — perfect for entryways or small rooms.
Keep clutter off surfaces and out of sight with these under-bed storage boxes. Make the most of that awkward spacing by filling up these bins with off-season clothing, your bulkiest sweaters or gift wrapping.
I don’t have the exact same coffee maker, but I do know that my Ninja hot-and-cold coffee maker starts my mornings off in a much better manner than my old French press. This machine delivers iced lattes and drip brews for the perfect coffee no matter the time of day (or year).?
This lamp's midcentury-style shade gives the bronze-finished base a streamlined look, adding some understated elegance to rooms that need a little extra illumination.
I am slightly obsessed with my Qrevo, which gives me cleaner floors than I’ve ever had because it’s not on me to vacuum and mop them but a very programmable robot instead. It’s the ideal on-sale purchase ahead of a busy holiday season.
Whether you’re a serious crafter or you just love doodling to decompress after a long day, this set of Sharpies has you covered.
Give your home a little festive charm with this easy-to-hang indoor snowflake string light. The 8-foot length is great for adorning mantels, hanging on a wall like bunting or draping windows for a holiday touch.
Highly rated by Target shoppers, this robot vacuum and mop will take two tasks off your to-do list when you have guests around this season.

The ninth-generation version of the handy iPad is $100 off, making it a great time to pick one up. Use it for displaying recipes, FaceTiming your friends, sketching designs, emailing grandparents or completing coursework.?
These noise-canceling headphones insulate your ears from outside noise while allowing you to switch easily into an ambient-noise setting if you need to. We also love the sleek design and great sound; these days, they’re my go-to earbuds for walks around the city.
This Kodak Printomatic camera captures special memories while creating tangible mementos, all in one device.
I’m obsessed with my Altec Lansing outdoor speaker mostly due to its durability. (I’m very clumsy and will occasionally leave things like this in the rain.) It holds up admirably, delivers great sound and has a fantastic eight-hour playtime.
Lilac — excuse us, Arctic Purple — continues to have a moment, and it looks great delivering solid beats from each earbud. We also love the 18 hours of battery life you can get from these before a charge is needed.
This slim-profile, beguilingly blue Chromebook gives you 13.5 hours of battery life for a seamless workday, plus 4GB soldered memory and an FHD, anti-glare display.
This first-generation Echo Pop packs a lot of features into a small device. It’s a speaker that's great for small spaces, plus has voice control for dimming lights, checking the weather, setting timers and more. Add to that Alexa’s knowledge base of more than 10,000 skills, and you’ve got an all-in-one machine for simplifying your everyday.
These headphones are one of the best investments I’ve ever made. They’re great for travel (no earbuds falling out and lodging between airplane seat and window), have the excellent sound quality you’d expect from a Bose and block out the screaming child in row 8. For a little less cash, the Bose Solo 4s are 50% off and, at $100, are a great option.

Why these are good early Black Friday deals
Target is one of our go-to shopping destinations for many reasons. First off, we think the free Target Circle membership is highly underrated and features tons of benefits like member-only deals and rewards that can be used toward future purchases.
Secondly, the deals highlighted above stood out to us because they reflect Target’s commitment to price drops on a variety of everyday products. From reparative beauty products to cozy sweats and tech items, Target is anticipating what seasonal items folks will be stocking up on for the winter season and allowing shoppers to save.
