Looking for something affordable? Try these Black Friday deals under $50. They make great gifts or go with things that you already have and love.

Black Friday is the big day for retailers slashing prices to kick off the holiday shopping season and clear out their 2024 stock. There's still a week until the big event, but you don’t have to wait to carve the Thanksgiving turkey and watch the Cowboys lose to snag discounts, because the best early Black Friday deals are live already.

As much as I love shopping (I write about it for a living after all) the uncertainty of buying things online does sometimes give me pause. Especially when it comes to products that I would prefer to see in action before making a purchase.
