We love this question because we've been spending a lot of time scouring all the sales! Generally, you can find a lot of good deals on electronics, small kitchen appliances and fitness gear, but you'll want to make sure you're buying a high-quality product that you'll enjoy using, not just one with a currently low price. We know it can be hard to tell, so we've rounded up the best deals so far on products we've already recommended on our site.
We're also seeing sales from a number of top-quality home brands that don't often offer discounts, such as Parachute, Smythson and Serena & Lily, so it's a good time to stock up on higher-end items you've been wanting or to buy them as gifts. On buysidewsj.com you can find roundups of the best deals in all the big categories (Fashion, Home, Fitness, Tech and more), and we are continuously updating these as more deals go live.
In terms of items to avoid, our senior editor always points out that you'll to be wary of product variants for pricey electronics especially, like TVs and stand mixers, for example. You want to make sure the product that’s on sale is the one you actually want, and not a slightly tweaked version with lesser specs or a poorer build quality, so look carefully at the model number. Even one digit or letter different could mean you’re getting a completely different product. —Betsy Goldberg, editorial director at Buy Side from WSJ
