It’s still days before notorious Black Friday, but a series of e-tailers have already launched unbeatable deals. Amazon.com along with Walmart, Toys “R” Us, Sears, Target, and eBay are currently hosting Black Friday deals on their online stores- all of which started 4 days early! Featured deals from these ecommerce giants cover a broad range of categories including electronics, books, movies, sporting goods, and toys.

However, it should be mentioned that not everyone is as excited about these early deals as we are; a host of retailers are facing opposition from the “Respect the Bird” campaign. This group is strongly opposed to retailers who are offering Black Friday deals on or before Thanksgiving Day. Supporters of the “Respect the Bird” campaign believe the prominence of the Thanksgiving holiday is diminished by shopper’s obsession with getting the best holiday deals.

While we understand the concerns of the “Respect the Bird” campaign, we think a little pre-Black Friday shopping never hurt anyone! Although most deals started yesterday, there are still many great savings shoppers can still get their hands on. Amazon has hundreds of Black Friday deals already available to shoppers, including lightening deals. Lightening deals are extra special savings only available for a certain period of time (usually a couple hours). Shoppers will need to visit Amazon’s site themselves to check out currently available lightening deals, but there are many deals available all week long.  Below we have highlighted a few of the best Black Friday deals Amazon is offering this week.
