Best Buy’s Black Friday in July is here, and the retailer is offering discounts on products from many popular brands, including Apple, Samsung, Garmin and more. The sale runs through July 13, and discounts are available online and in-store.
I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day (which ends tonight), Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best deals from Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale, which are highly rated and at least 20% off. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Best Buy’s event.
