Even if you don’t like gadgets and gizmos (same, same), this is one of the best days of the year to pay less for things you use in your everyday life, in addition to holiday gifts for yourself or others. Here are our favorite Black Friday deals we are seeing so far: - [$75 promo gift card at Saks Fifth Avenue when you spend $150 on eligible items](. - [Four-pack of Apple AirTags for $79.99 on Amazon (reg $99)](. - [Apple AirPods Pro (second gen) at Walmart for $169 (reg $249)](. - [Discounted airline gift cards](. What takes Black Friday retail deals from good to great is when you stack on layers of savings that all happen at the same time. So before you buy anything on sale today, think through these three things to make the deal better. - Do you have a [credit card offer]( or statement credit built into one of your cards to help you save even more? - Can you get cash back via [Rakuten or a similar site]( for the online purchase? - Which credit card in your wallet will give you the most rewards on the item? For example, if you take advantage of the deal to get a $75 promo gift card spending $150 at Saks Fifth Avenue, you can also save [$50 by using your twice-yearly credit]( on [The Platinum Card® from American Express]( in the form of a statement credit (enrollment required) and by earning 16% cash back by starting your purchase at Rakuten. That takes a good deal to a truly great offer, assuming you find something you want at Saks (you'll find [some of our faves here]( ). Rinse and repeat for each purchase you make today, from discounted AirPods to stacking savings on dog food.
