Hope you've caught your breath after mid-October's Prime Day sales. For the first time ever, Best Buy has dropped some early Black Friday deals on Halloween.

"We know it’s early, but Halloween has been knocking on our holiday door for a while now and we’re ready to let it join the party," the company said in an Oct. 20 press release. "This year, we’re putting the creep in 'holiday creep.'"

Like last year, Best Buy is supplementing its early Black Friday deals with limited-time doorbusters that involve "some of the best deals on the hottest tech." (Best Buy has an apt name for the Halloween batch: DoorBOOsters.) They'll be live online, on the Best Buy app, and in stores every Friday through Sunday during the holiday season.

Best Buy will continue to release early Black Friday deals throughout November in the lead-up to its official Black Friday sale, which begins more than a week ahead of time on Thursday, Nov. 20. (Black Friday 2025 technically falls on Nov. 28.) The 10-day sale will run through Saturday, Nov. 29 and feature "deeper savings on categories like computing, gaming, home theater, wearables, and more," the company said.

The question now becomes: Should you buy something on your wishlist now or wait? As someone who's covered Best Buy's Black Friday sale religiously since 2019, I vote now. A holiday FAQ page on Best Buy's website notes that its early Black Friday deals are available in limited quantities (with no rainchecks), and when those deals sell out, "they may be sold out through Black Friday."

Best Buy's holiday price match and extended returns policies have you covered in case an item you buy soon-ish goes on sale for a better price later in the season. I'm of the opinion that really good deals on items you really want are worth the hassle in the off-chance that happens, and this time of year is when most stuff hits year-round lows.

Below, I've rounded up the early Black Friday deals and doorbusters at Best Buy that I'd consider adding to my cart already. I've cross-checked them with prices at competing retailers to make sure no one's offering better prices. (Amazon managed to beat one of Best Buy's early Black Friday deals on a JBL gaming headset by four cents, so it didn't make my list.) Anything I've marked with a 🚪 is a current doorbuster that won't stick around past Sunday, Nov. 2.
