What to Expect From Best Buy’s Holiday Sales This Year

The holiday season sales have officially started. This year, Best Buy is having a whopping six sales starting on Halloween and leading up to Christmas. The early (very early) Black Friday deals are already live, and they’re good. Here are the best ones I’ve found so far.

Great prices on OLED TVs

I’m impressed by the price cut on the LG 48″ Class B5 Series OLED. You can get it for $529.99 (originally $1,299.99), the lowest price it has ever been, and a great price point to get an OLED TV, most of which easily start in the $1,000s. If you can spend a bit more, the Samsung 65″ Class S84F OLED is $949.99 (originally $1999.99)—that’s a mindblowingly good price for a 65-inch OLED.

Deals on speakers and headphones

I absolutely love my JBL PartyBox Stage 320 speaker, and everyone who hears it playing asks me about it. It’s a fun, loud, feature-packed speaker that I loved reviewing. You can get it for $549.99 (originally $629.99) right now.

Best Buy also has a lot of Bose headphones on sale. I recommend their flagship headphones, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, which are $329 (originally $429) right now.

Laptops at great prices

Apple laptops are seeing great prices across the board. The MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop M2 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD is $649 (originally $799). This is the lowest price I’ve seen for this excellent laptop.

For PC people, I recommend the 15.6″ Lenovo Ideapad with an Intel Core i5 and 16GB RAM with 512GB SSD of storage. It’s going for $399.99 (originally $699.99), which is a great price for the hardware.

What other sales is Best Buy having this holiday season?

Best Buy has announced the following events:

• Doorbusters: On Oct. 31, the “DoorBOOsters” event will take place with tech deals.

• New doorbusters every Friday: Then, every Friday of the holiday season (leading up to Dec. 24) will have new deals on select tech.

• Early Black Friday sale: The early Black Friday sale will start on Oct. 31 and run until Nov. 19.

• Black Friday sale: Best Buy says this will be its main sale, starting on Thursday, Nov. 20 and running until Nov. 29 with deals on “computing, gaming, home theater, wearables, and more.”

• Cyber Sunday and Monday: Best Buy is extending Cyber Monday to two days and says you can find deals going up to 50% off select tech.

• Last-minute savings: The Christmas sale will run from Dec. 15 until Dec. 24.

What deals can you expect during the Holiday Sale Events?

Best Buy says it’ll have deals and in-store demos on Meta Ray-Ban Display; XXL TVs; Copilot+ PCs; small appliance sales from Shark, Ninja, Dyson, and Breville. Best Buy says it will also have its usual price-match guarantee, so if the price of something you bought from Best Buy goes down to a lower price during the holiday season, it’ll match it. It’s also extending store hours, which will vary by location.

Do you need to be a member to shop Best Buy’s holiday sales?

While you don’t need a Best Buy membership to shop deals, members can get better savings. It is free to sign up for a My Best Buy membership, which will give you free shipping, but if you join one of its paid subscriptions (My Best Buy Plus for $49.99 per year or My Best Buy Total for $179.99 per year), you’ll get faster free shipping, exclusive prices and deals, an extended 60-day return window on most products, and access to select sales. Paid members will also earn extra rewards.
