Each year we share the best Black Friday deals online to help you manage your time, your budget, and get back to family faster. This year is no different, as we share the best Black Friday deals 2021 from big stores and brands along with the small businesses we love.

This year more than ever, we urge you to grab something if you want it because supplies really are limited, especially when it comes to tech, electronics, toys, games, and small appliances. (Darn you, 2021.)

We also highly recommend you check out our very thorough post on Cool Mom Tech featuring 11 Black Friday Tips to Help You Save the Most Money Online — With the Least Hassle. It’s worth it!

For continual updates this weekend, be sure to follow @coolmompicks on Twitter and follow @coolmomtech on Twitter for the most up-to-the-minute deals we get wind of and we’ll be updating this post as well.

And of course, refresh the retailer sites every so often because they’re just popping up new deals all day, right and left.

Happy shopping in your PJs while you eat leftovers! And of course, happy saving.

Shopping through some of these links may generate a small commission, to help support our own small business, at no additional cost to you. There has been no compensation for inclusion here. Prices and deals are accurate at the time of posting, but subject to change, and some supplies are limited.
