New & Notable from Made In, Bala and Philips
Best Buy’s official Black Friday sales begin, and brands from Stasher to TOMS offer deals.
Expanding beyond its initial launch of the 15-pound Bala Beam and 10-pound Power Ring, Bala now offers heavier versions of the products. The Beam — which you can use to lift, row, squat and lunge, according to the brand — is available in a 25-pound option. You can also purchase the 15-pound Power Ring, which is a cross between a dumbbell and a kettlebell. Both products come in Charcoal and Blush.
The Philips Norelco Shaver 9500 is designed with the brand’s SenseIQ technology, which the brand says provides real-time feedback while you’re shaving. Built-in sensors detect how much pressure you apply, and a light indicates how hard you’re pressing. Shaving heads rotate and are surrounded by rings covered in a protective coating to help prevent irritation, the brand says. You can shave wet or dry, and the shaver features a pop-up trimmer to shape a mustache or sideburns. Additionally, the shaver offers up to 60 minutes of battery life on a one hour charge, according to Philips, and comes with a cleaning pod that sanitizes the shaving head. And when paired with the companion app, it offers insights into your shaving patterns, pressure, speed and more, the brand says. You can purchase additional shaving heads and cartridges for the cleaning pod separately.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are almost here, which means retailers’ deals and sales are intensifying across categories. Here are some sales you can shop this weekend that we think are worth considering.
Next week, retailers will begin pulling out all the stops for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which are just days away. But we’ve been seeing sales and deals categories all month long, and even in October. Experts previously told us Black Friday and Cyber Monday have turned into a monthslong promotional season rather than single days, which we’ve especially seen this year, as shoppers have been encouraged to shop early to avoid possible shipping delays caused by global supply chain backups. Some shoppers are even stockpiling gifts to ensure they have items to give to loved ones.
As you continue or prepare to take advantage of discounts, we’ve compiled lists of retailer-specific sales, as well as rounded up worthwhile deals using price trackers like Honey and CamelCamelCamel. You can also learn more about saving on holiday purchases overall, as well as at retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target.
Here's our latest coverage to get you started on how to optimize your Black Friday and Cyber Monday strategy. We’ll be regularly updating you with more.
