While Black Friday doesn’t kick off until 29 November, many stores have started early. Case in point: Target’s Black Friday sale has already begun, with impressive deals on everything from Dyson hoovers to Apple headphones. You can also save on kids’ toys, including 20 per cent on Lego and Barbie.
Whether it’s the “deal of the day” offer, which sees members benefit from flash savings on popular products, or its price match guarantee (if the price of an item you buy is reduced later that season, the retailer will price-match it and it’s also price matching select competitors until 24 December), Target really comes into its own during the holiday season.
As for its Black Friday sale though, we’ve done the hard work for you and gone through all of the Target deals to find those that are actually worth your money. Scroll down for our top picks on Ninja, LG TVs and more.
Best Target Black Friday deals
Ninja foodi pressure cooker and air fryer: Was $169.99, now $119.99, Target.com
Target has slashed the price of Ninja appliances, including this 10-in-one kitchen must-have, which can pressure cook, steam, sauté, air crisp, bake, roast, dehydrate and more.

Xbox series X: Was $499.99, now $449, Target.com
Yet to get your hands on an Xbox series X? Well, now’s your chance because it has plummeted in price. “It’s a thunderously powerful next-generation console,” our writer said in their review. Praising the sleek look, they added: “Aesthetically, and acoustically, the Xbox series X is a console that feels at home in a living room where grown-ups live. Compare that with the superb but ridiculous-looking PlayStation 5, which resembles an abstract sculpture of Harry Hill and requires removing an external wall to get into your house.”
