Apple Watch Series 3: $199 (save $80)

Macy's decided not to wait for Black Friday or even Thanksgiving. The Apple Watch Series 3 is available right now for this all-time-low price. Yes, it's last year's model, but there's an awful lot of tech packed into this thing, which is why at $199 I have no qualms about recommending it.

iPhone XR: Free! (Save $750)

OK, make that "free*." The asterisk is because you have to sign up for a US Cellular unlimited plan and stick with it for 30 months. The iPhone XR is paid for during that time in the form of bill credit. Still, you're going to be paying for service from some carrier, right? When all is said and done, you will indeed walk away with a $750 phone you paid not an extra penny for. The deal is live right now and runs through Nov. 26.

3 months of Mint Mobile for $20 (save $40)

Shopping for a new carrier? On Black Friday and Cyber Monday, prepay-and-save service Mint Mobile will have one of the best trial offers ever: 3 months for $20. That nets you unlimited minutes and messages and 5GB of LTE data (on T-Mobile's network) per month. After that, you can choose between various 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, all of which amortize out to extremely low rates.

Two Amazon Echo second-gen smart speakers: $100 (save $100)

Sure, Amazon will be selling the Echo for $69 on Turkey Day, but this QVC deal is even better. Score two of the smart speakers for just $99.98, a price that includes a voucher for extras like three months of Pandora Premium and three months of FreeTime Unlimited. Update, Nov. 20: The price now shows $109.98, but if you're a new QVC customer, promo code TEN4U takes $10 off.

Sphero BB-8 app-enabled droid: $30 (save $100)

For anyone who loved the idea of an app-controlled BB-8 but didn't relish paying $130, your patience has paid off. Sphero's cute, versatile little roller has never been priced this low. Just sign in to My Best Buy to see this lower price.

Amazon Echo Dot (third-generation): $24 (save $26)

There are plenty of standouts in Amazon's roster of Black Friday deals, but for me the real standout is the just-released third-generation Echo Dot. Given that it's brand-new, Amazon could easily have left it at $50, or even just lopped $10 off while selling last year's model for the bigger discount. (As it happens, the second-gen Dot will be $4 less!) But just $24 for the smart speaker with the cloth suit and bigger, better sound? Yes, please. And don't expect to see this deal again until Prime Day 2019.

Huawei Honor View 10: $349 (save $150)

Normally $500, and never before priced below $429, this powerhouse metal phablet features a 6-inch screen, dual rear cameras, dual SIM slots, Android 8.1 and -- wait for it -- a headphone jack! Just make sure you're not buying this phone for someone who's a US government employee or contractor, as federal security agencies have effectively deemed Huawei to be a national security threat.

Apple iPad (2018): $250 (save $80)

Wait, how is this better than Amazon's Fire HD 10 for $100? Because, let's face it, the iPad is an all-around better tablet, and at $250 it's actually reasonable.

Fitbit Versa: $150 (save $50)

Priced just about $200 everywhere else, the Versa is arguably the best Apple Watch alternative you can buy. Will other stores match this all-time-low price? Time will tell. For now, Target has the deal to beat.

PlayStation 4 1TB with Spider-Man bundle: $200 (save $100)

My spendy senses are tingling. Update, Nov. 22, 3:30 p.m. PT: Target and a few other stores decided not to wait for Black Friday, so this deal is sold out everywhere we can see online. It's sold out quickly, with good reason: It's an excellent deal on a great console bundled with one of the hottest games of 2018. Target is still showing as "available" in select stores, hit the link below to check your own nearby brick and mortar.

Pro tip: If you're willing to brave the lines at Kohl's, you can get this same deal on the PS4 bundle, plus $60 in Kohl's cash.

TCL 55-inch Roku TV: $350 (save $100)

On sale at Amazon, Target and Walmart for the same price, and available right now, this may be the 55-inch TV deal to beat this year. You get a big screen, the unparalleled Roku interface and picture quality that belies this bargain-basement price.

Ring Video Doorbell 2: $139 (save $60)

Wireless and equipped with a rechargeable battery, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 is among the easiest video doorbells to install and keep charged. It also integrates nicely with the Amazon Echo Show for an at-a-glance view of who's at your door. At $199 it's not exactly Cheapskate-approved, but $139 is definitely more in the ballpark. The optional $3-a-month cloud storage fee is reasonable, too.

The Instant Pot six-in-one cooker: $60 (save $40)

There's no question that every kitchen should have a pressure cooker. The Instant Pot is also a slow cooker and four other kinds of cooker. This same deal ($60 instead of $100) tends to come around annually, but that doesn't make it any less appetizing. If you don't own one yet or you need a killer gift for a foodie, now's the time to buy.

Motorola Moto G6: $200 (save $50)

Already a steal at the regular $250 price, the G6 gets even steal-ier when you knock $50 off. It's unlocked, so take it to whatever carrier has the best deal -- or best coverage.

HP Pavilion X360 with Intel Core i7 and 1TB hard drive: $450 ($350 off)

Wowza, Office Depot! You've undercut just about everybody on this 15.6-inch two-in-one powerhouse. This is one of the best laptop deals of 2018, bar none.
