Whittling down the things to buy in November isn't an easy task — we see some of the lowest prices of the year during Black Friday sales, which makes November a major stock-up time. But we managed to pare down the deals to a list of nine things to buy in November that are worthy of your time and your money. You’ll find Thanksgiving food coupons, deals on electronics, and apparel deals on our list.
As always, we’ll explain how to do even better than the Black Friday sale price. Some food deals are better if you shop the week before Thanksgiving. And some Cyber Monday deals on apparel are better than they are on Black Friday. Don’t settle for the first sale you see, even when it’s tempting. Here’s a list of things to buy in November, along with the prices you should aim to pay and when to score them.

Here's where you're going to find the best deals on stock-up items in November.
Black Friday Sales
Because so many things go on sale for Black Friday, here's a rundown of the sale dates at major stores:
-
Walmart Black Friday: Walmart has confirmed its Black Friday sale will run in two waves. Wave 1 runs Nov. 14 - 16, and Wave 2 runs Nov. 25 - 30.
-
Target Black Friday: We predict the 2025 Target Black Friday sale will begin Sunday Nov. 24, with additional deals dropping online on Thanksgiving and in stores on Black Friday. But expect early weekly deals to roll out all November long (Target's known for starting pre-Black Friday deals as early as Halloween).
-
Amazon Black Friday: The Amazon Black Friday sale is predicted to start on Nov 20.
-
Kohl’s Black Friday Sale: We'll likely see early Black Friday deals from Kohl's at the beginning of the month, but expect their official Black Friday sale to begin on Sunday, Nov. 23.
-
Best Buy Black Friday: Early Black Friday deals began Oct. 31. The official sale begins on Thursday, Nov. 20.
And now, here's everything you should be buying during these sales:
1. Get over 50% off wellness products at Walmart and CVS.

2. Electronics
While you don’t exactly “stock up" on TVs or electronics deals, they’re still things to buy in November if you need a replacement or an upcoming Christmas gift. In fact, electronics are the number one thing our KCL users looked for last Black Friday.
TVs
Keep a goal of 40% - 50% savings in mind as you sort out the best Black Friday TV deals. Don’t waste any time on TV deals for less than 20% off regular prices. What about top-name brands? Well, if you can save 20% - 30% on a top-rated TV from LG, Samsung, or Sony, you’re getting a deal.
Walmart has already announced they'll offer a Black Friday deal: $998 for a 98-inch TCL QLED TV (reg. $1,798). Expect Target, Best Buy, and more to reveal their TV deals later in the month. As a reference point, last year on Black Friday we saw the following:
-
50-Inch 4K TVs, as low as $138
-
55-Inch 4K TVs, as low as $178
-
65-Inch 4K TVs, as low as $228
-
75-Inch 4K TVs, as low as $379.99 (this was at Target and sold out quickly)
iPhones
If you’re looking to buy an iPhone from a retailer and not directly from a carrier, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have the best iPhone Black Friday deals on older generations like the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, or iPhone 12. Surprisingly, Amazon iPhone deals aren’t nearly as good as other major retailers. We see refurbished iPhones for as low as $299 and iPhone 13 bundles with headphones and other accessories for as low as $499.
iPads
Save up to $400 on iPad Black Friday deals. Last year, we saw a 10.9-inch 64gb 10th Generation iPad for $249.99 ($130 off full price). The iPad Pro models will be up to $100 off.
You could also get up to $50 off iPad Air models and $100 off the iPad Mini last year.
AirPods
AirPods Black Friday deals are always popular. Here's what we've seen most recently to give you an idea of what to expect this year:
-
AirPods 3rd Generation, $94 at Walmart and Amazon (reg. $169).
-
AirPods Pro 2nd Generation, $159.99 at Best Buy (reg. $239.99)
-
AirPods Max, $499 at Amazon and Walmart (reg. $549.99)
Gaming Bundles
Target, Amazon, and Walmart win every year for the best deals for consoles. Last year, Target had the lowest prices on the Nintendo Switch: $224.99 (regularly $299). Walmart, Target, and Amazon all tied for the $399 price on the Xbox Series X 1TB digital console (regularly $599). And Target, Walmart, and Amazon all offered up to $120 off various PS5 bundles.
Because retailers also often throw in a game and gift card into their bundles, these are some of the best values of the year. One console you're not likely to find a discount on? The new Nintento Switch 2. If you spot it in stock (or offered with any games or accessories for full price), get it.
3. Thanksgiving Turkey
Many popular grocery retailers offer a free Thanksgiving turkey promotion during their November sales. Just by doing your regular grocery shopping, you’ll earn a free turkey either by spending a certain amount throughout the month or within a single store visit.
If you don’t end up scoring a free turkey, aim for a price under $0.99 a pound. This means a 15-pound turkey will ring up around $15 when you check out. Looking at last year’s grocery ads, you’re more likely to score the best per-pound price on a turkey if you shop after Nov. 10.
Free Turkey Promos to Expect Based on Previous Years:
-
Shoprite: Last year, Price Plus Club members could earn a free frozen turkey, up to 21 pounds, when they spent $400 at Shoprite during a promo period in mid-November.
-
Giant Food Stores: Trade 400 Giant Food Stores reward points for a free turkey up to 20 pounds. If this offer returns, expect to see it on Nov. 1.
-
Acme: Last year, you could earn a free turkey through your Acme U account after spending $400.
Turkeys aren't the only thing to think about. Your local grocery store's November ads will be full of deals on ingredients to make Thanksgiving dinner. It's worth noting that you'll see more of these stock-up prices closer to mid-November and the week before Thanksgiving.
These should be your goal stock-up prices this year:
-
Broth : Pay $0.08 per ounce for Swanson and $0.06 per ounce for College Inn — $2.49 and $1.99 for 32-ounce boxes, respectively.
-
Stuffing : Pay $0.75 - $1 per box for store brand and $1.49 per box for Stove Top.
-
Canned Pumpkin : Pay $1.25 per can for Libby's.
-
Butter : Pay $0.50 per stick for store-brand butter, or $2 per pound. Stock up on Land-O-Lakes at $0.75 per stick or $3 per pound. (Walmart usually has the best prices.)
-
Flour : Stock up on Gold Medal at $2.49 for a 5-pound bag and King Arthur at $5 for a 5-pound bag.
-
Pie Crusts : Pay $1.50 per crust. We’ve also seen BOGO offers, working out to $1.07 per crust.
KCL TIP: Check out our weekly grocery price tracker to see the best deals on pantry staples (and which ones are going up in price due to tariffs and other factors).
4. Food Storage Containers
If your old Tupperware needs to be replaced, November is the time to shop for deals on food storage containers. Aim to pay $0.50 per piece for plastic or $2 per piece for glass. In practice, you should look for 3-piece Ziploc deals or Glad plastic sets for $1.49 or an 18-piece glass set for around the $25 price point.
5. Toys
While October is actually a good time to start picking up the hottest toys of the year, you can still shop sales in November to get some pretty fab toy deals. The biggest deals are always at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
One of our favorites — the Target Circle 25% off toy coupon — is here and valid through Nov. 15 to use on one eligible toy. Use this on bigger ticket toys like Barbie houses or Lego sets. Amazon should be your go-to for deals on Melissa & Doug toys and for small stocking stuffers under $5.
6. Family Pajamas
With the November sales, we expect $9 or less for kids’ sizes and $15 or less for adult sets. Kohl’s, JCPenney, Old Navy, and Target have some of the best pricing each year. Shop Target around the middle of November — usually the week of Thanksgiving. Kohl’s is going to have the best prices (we’re talking 75% off) during and after Black Friday. We saw 50% off matching family sleepwear at JCPenney last year. And you'll see an in-store-only deal for $5 pajama pants in the Old Navy Black Friday sale.
7. Women’s Boots
One thing all Black Friday sales have in common is a price drop on women’s boots. Most retailers (Macy’s, Kohl’s, and JCPenney) offer some version of $19.99 boots, and this year will be no different.
But we can do better than that.
Utilize Kohl’s stackable coupons while earning Kohl’s Cash or save Target Circle offers (we’ve seen up to 30% off boots in November), to get a pair for $13 - $16.
8. Kids’ Coats
Another thing most Black Friday sales have in common? Kids’ coats and jacket deals. And just like women’s boots, we think you can do better than the average $19.99 price. Hold out until Cyber Monday, because you’ll see up to 79% off puffer coats by the end of November. Buy a size up if you're shopping for a kid, and store it away for next year if you manage to find 80% off or higher.
While $19.99 is an okay price for kids’ coats, it’s entirely possible to get them closer to $13 for toddlers and $15 for kids.
9. Halloween Clearance
By the first of the month, you should be scooping up whatever’s left on the shelf for at least 70% off in Halloween clearance sales. These Halloween deals hit as much as 90% off, and you can stock up on (non-edible) spooky stuff for next year.
-
Halloween Decor : Target usually kicks off Halloween clearance at 50% off on Nov. 1. Then they’ll usually drop it to 70% off, but the pickings get slim. Finally, if there’s anything left, you can get 90% off, but by then the shelves are pretty bare.
-
Halloween Costumes : Walmart also has clearance on Nov. 1, and you'll see the best clearance prices on costumes — usually as low as $4 - $8.
-
Trunk-or-Treat Kits : CVS discounts these all the way up to 90% off. The shelves can look like a ghost town (pun intended), but we’ve seen trunk-or-treat sets and adult costumes marked down to just $1.99 (regularly $19.99).
-
Halloween Candy : TBH, all stores have killer candy deals to get them off the shelves. You can stock up in November on clearance candy at 70% - 90% off to fill up Christmas stockings next month.
Food Freebies and Deals in November
National Sandwich Day — Nov. 3
National Sandwich Day is celebrated on Nov. 3 every year. The celebration typically includes, you guessed it, free sammies.
Veterans Day — Nov. 11
Each year we compile a list of businesses offering Veterans Day freebies for items or services to veterans and active military. Typically these freebies are only offered on actual Veterans Day, Nov. 11., but we have seen some offered throughout the weekend, plus we have a whole list of military discounts available the entire year.
Starbucks Red Cup Day — Nov. 13
Another thing to add to your list of things to buy in November? A drink from the Starbucks holiday menu. Get a free red reusable cup when you order a seasonal drink on Starbucks Red Cup Day, which will take place on Nov. 13.
Wait Until December For …
Target Gift Cards
Target often has a 10% off sale on gift cards the first weekend in December. We’re predicting the 2025 Target gift card sale for Dec. 6, 2025.
Candles
If you want to stock up on candles for gifts (or just for yourself), hold off until December for Bath & Body Works Candle Day. We think you’ll see this sale on Dec. 6 - 7, 2025.
Travel Bookings for the New Year
Travel Tuesday falls annually on the day after Cyber Monday — that's Dec. 2 in 2025. It’s the day when airlines, hotels, and even cruise lines offer discounts to get in on all the Black Friday sale madness. We typically see the best deals from smaller airlines.
