Whether you’re looking to get a head start on holiday shopping or you’re in the market for some new cooking gear, there are tons of early Black Friday deals you can already shop ahead of Thanksgiving. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Williams Sonoma are holding awesome early Black Friday sales on all things home, cooking, and more.
You can check out some of the best discounts I’ve found so far (including this food storage set and the iconic Always Pan from Our Place!). If you see something you love, I recommend getting it while it’s still on sale or before it sells out, and I’ll be updating this post with more picks as I find them!
My 5 Favorite Early Black Friday Deals
1. Instant Vortex 5.75-Quart Air Fryer
This is the best air fryer! I even included it in my list of the best cooking tools because it’s such a reliable gadget in my kitchen. It’s perfect for cooking up quick veggie sides or yummy proteins, like salmon or eggs. The large capacity is great for meal prepping or making family-friendly dinners, especially since it boasts four different cooking settings: air fry, bake, roast, and reheat.
2. Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler and Waffle Plates Bundle
This is my favorite electric griddle! I’ve had it for about 5 years and I love how versatile it is — it boasts 5 different functionalities, which means it can be used as a contact grill, full grill, full griddle, half grill/griddle, and a panini press. Plus, this bundle comes with waffle plates for recipes like my yummy and healthy Cauliflower Waffles!
3. Vtopmart Airtight Food Storage Set, 38 Pieces
This food storage set is awesome for holding pantry staples like oats, flour, and pasta! On sale for less than $40, you can nab this 38-piece set that comes with four size combinations: two tall containers, 10 large containers, 20 medium containers, and 6 small ones, all with airtight lids. You even get 40 reusable labels, and the plastic is BPA-free.
4. GreenPan Paris Pro Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set
I love GreenPan’s line of nonstick and nontoxic cookware that is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. They perform super well at a lower price point, and you can save even more on a full set with this deal at Walmart. It comes with 11 pieces of cookware, including two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, and a stockpot for all your cooking needs.
5. Dyson V12 Slim Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Dyson makes some of the best vacuum cleaners on the market. The V12 Slim is currently on sale for just under $400, a massive discount from its original price of $649.99! I like that it’s cordless and still manages to have an impressive 60 minutes of run time.

Thank you for this list! Currently I have the Instant Vortex 2QT Mini Air Fryer (which I love) but needing something a bit bigger so I’m considering buying the Ninja 4QT Air Fryer (versus yours). I have such limited counter space & the Ninja might work space wise for me. Any thoughts? Not sure if you’ve used this one before. Appreciate your help.
I’ve only used the Instant Vortex so I don’t have any experience with Ninja. Sorry, Margaret!
Can you guarantee that this air fryer is superior to the NINJA?? Thank you
Hi Linda, this air fryer is the best one I’ve tried! It’s my personal favorite, I hope you like it if you end up purchasing.
