Black Friday ads 2019: Early deals from Amazon, Walmart, Target and more - CNET

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2019, your source for the season's best gifts and deals, hand-picked by the experts at CNET.

Black Friday is tantalisingly close, meaning we're almost ready for 2019's best deals on TVs, electronics, media and games. Stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Newegg, GameStop and Target are slashing prices and offering awesome deals in Black Friday ads released early. Of course it's a transparent ploy, but who cares? It gives us time to scope out the best deals and lets you plan ahead for the busy holiday shopping season, which is shorter this year thanks to a late Thanksgiving holiday. We've compiled all the ads from major retailers together here. Some of the deals may not be in effect yet, but it's helpful to check them out now and plan your shopping strategy, especially for the doorbusters.

Amazon's online main Black Friday sale starts Nov. 22, but some are already available. The online megaretailer has also outlined a full slate of deals it expects to roll out over the Thanksgiving shopping period.

Sam's Club

At long last, the Sam's Club Black Friday ad has finally been unveiled. The stores will be closed on Thanksgiving-- a move which we totally respect -- but you can shop online on Turkey Day if you prefer. Otherwise, the doors open at 7 a.m. local time on Friday, Nov. 29 (and the sale runs through Dec. 1).
