Black Friday is November 27 and Cyber Monday is November 30, when many stores run their biggest sales of the year. Here's what we're watching, and the rules we use before calling anything a deal.
We may earn a commission when you buy through our links. Affiliate disclosure
This is a watch list, not a deals page yet. When sales go live, we’ll add each real deal here with the store, the price and the date and time we checked. Amazon prices won’t appear on this site at all; Amazon buttons will say “Check price at Amazon.” Until then, the buttons below go to each product’s current listing. We haven’t joined any of these affiliate programs yet.
Some stores start their sales early; we’ll start adding dated deals when they do.
Firearms and ammo. We don’t link to buy firearms, and ammo deals change too fast to track well here. See our where to buy ammo online guide instead.
The biggest-ticket item in most kits. Watch the maker's own store as well as Amazon, and compare bundles by model number.
A battery you build a backup plan around. 120/240V, and room to grow.
Enough battery for a real outage night, still liftable by one adult.
The fridge-and-phones station. Small enough to live in a closet.
Keeps the router, phone and laptop running. Doubles as a UPS.
Cheap gear, so wait only if you're buying in bulk. Check the per-serving or per-gallon math, not the headline percentage.
The filter that belongs in every kit. Tiny, fast, nearly endless.
Seven gallons, a spigot, and a handle. The boring hero of water storage.
Three days for one person, in a box you can forget about for decades.
Twelve gluten-free pouches in a bucket that shrugs off damp basements.
Radios often sell in two-packs, so compare per radio. For first aid, a deal never beats buying from an authorized seller.
The easiest repeater-ready radio to hand to someone who's never used one.
NOAA alerts, AM/FM, a flashlight and a phone charger that you can crank.
A first aid kit organized like a binder, so you find things fast.
A real tourniquet and bleeding control plus everyday first aid, in one belt-size pouch.
