Before we move on to the list of the best Black Friday tech deals (but who are we kidding? You’ve already skipped past this first paragraph), can we take five minutes to think about the fact that Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK? After Thursday, the days will just blend together into one continuous stream, where it will seem that we’re preparing for some significant family gathering per each week’s end.
Of course, we all know that Thanksgiving isn’t really the event that tells our minds that we’re in the holiday season. No, of course not – what really marks the beginning of the holiday season for us is the day after that blessed evening of mac n’ cheese cheesecake and turkey popsicles, when all the suburban moms will attempt to fight their way to that iPad Mini that their Sarahs and Michaels have wanted for the past four months: Black Friday.
According to Nielsen, 70 percent of Black Friday shoppers are interested in purchasing consumer electronics (so, like, most of them/you). For this reason alone, we’ve compiled some of the best Black Friday tech deals. You’re welcome.
