Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) is one of the biggest shopping events of the year. It's a time for shoppers to find major discounts on holiday gifts, tech and more.
Traditionally, shoppers stayed up late the night of Thanksgiving to line up in front of their favorite stores for early a.m. openings. A more recent trend had seen stores opening for Black Friday as early as Thanksgiving Day, though Walmart, Target and many other retailers closed for Thanksgiving 2021.
These days, Black Friday sales are readily available online at brand and retailer websites.
Black Friday 2022 is on Friday, Nov. 25, 2022.
But sales often start before that date. Many retailers have early Black Friday deals you can shop now. We've shared some of the best early Black Friday deals below.
The term "Black Friday" dates back to the 1960s, and was used to refer to the congestion caused by shoppers on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
It was later used to describe retailers' accounts going from in-the-red to in-the-black on that day.
While we don't know yet what will be on sale this year, historically, there have been major deals on TVs, appliances, toys, Apple products and so much more.
Some of the biggest Black Friday sales happen at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Lowe's, Home Depot and Ulta. Last year's most popular items included Nintendo Switches, Barbies and Oculus VR headsets, according to Adobe.
Need some gift ideas to fill your Black Friday shopping list? Check out the CBS Essentials' 100 Most Wanted Holiday Gifts list , our picks for the best presents of 2022.
While there's still some time to wait until the official Black Friday sales start, there are plenty of great deals you can get right now. Check out our early Black Friday deal articles, as well as some of our top sale finds below.
Amazon has deals on robot vacuums, Apple products and more now ahead of Black Friday.
The iRobot Roomba j7+ is designed with the problem of dog poop in mind. This smart vacuum includes iRobot's P.O.O.P. guarantee, or "Pet Owner Official Promise." Your Roomba j7+ is guaranteed to avoid pet waste, or iRobot will replace your vacuum for free.
The vacuum features a powerful three-stage cleaning system with iRobot's most powerful suction. The home-cleaning device uses an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners. The Roomba j7+ features dual multi-surface rubber brushes that flex to adjust to different floor types. Best of all, they don't get tangled with pet hair.
When it's done cleaning, the device automatically empties into its included clean base for easy dirt disposal with enclosed bags. Simply empty the cleaning station once every 60 days.

Best Buy has some great Samsung appliance deals and Samsung tablet deals you won't want to miss.
Theragun Pro is a professional-grade device constructed for physical therapists, trainers and other professionals, but it's also great for athletes. Like the Theragun Elite, it is equipped with an OLED screen and a customizable speed range of 1,750 to 2,400 PPMs (percussions per minute) with three presets. However, instead of 40 pounds of force, the Pro boasts 60 and is the only model with an adjustable arm, allowing for easier use.
The Theragun Pro comes with six attachments: a dampener, standard ball, wedge, thumb, cone and super soft tip. A two-year warranty (compared with just one with the less expensive models) makes it more appealing for anyone who might use the gadget daily.
This 4.6-star-rated Samsung refrigerator features a beverage center that gives you water in two different ways: You can choose from an internal dispenser, or you can use the built-in pitcher that automatically refills. There's even an option to infuse a flavor.
"This design is brilliant," wrote a Samsung customer. "Each door is small enough to open. There are no handles, which makes it being against the wall so much easier. There's no ice maker on the left side of the door to hinder how much you can see on the left side. Opening it at a 90-degree angle is all you need to do everything that you need. It's completely flat which makes opening it to the wall so much easier (if you notice a lot of fridges are domed at the front which does not give you space to open door against the wall)."
