Black Friday is just around the corner, and deals are pouring in at stores like Best Buy , Walmart , Amazon , and Target . Sure, saving on big-ticket items is great, but if you’re looking for a bargain on a budget, I’ve scoured the web to find the best Black Friday tech deals under $50.
Anker Outdoor Speakers Reduced to $30
Anker has long been a success in the budget speaker and headphone segment. The Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker is a great example, currently priced at $27.97 (originally $44.99).
If you’re looking for a more recognizable brand, check out the Sony SRS-XB100 wireless Bluetooth speaker , which is now just $43 (original price: $59.99). This is an all-time low price for this speaker.
The Amazon Echo Dot is priced at just $32.
While the Amazon Echo Dot can’t be taken outdoors like the aforementioned speakers, you can control it, turn devices on and off, ask questions, and use it to play music in multiple rooms if you have multiple Echos. This new model is currently discounted to $31.99 (original price: $49.99).
Anker headphones are down to $25.
Anker also makes excellent budget headphones. The Soundcore P30i are just $24.99 (originally $49.99) and feature active noise cancellation, a 45-hour battery life, and IP54 splash resistance.
If you’re looking for over-ear headphones, consider the Anker Soundcore Q20i hybrid headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) for $37.99 (originally $69.99) in several colors. They feature powerful bass, a customizable equalizer in the companion app, and a 40-hour battery life.
You can buy a Roku with 4K for $25.
My favorite streaming player is Roku: it’s simple, responsive, reliable, and affordable. The Streaming Stick 4K is compatible with HDR and Dolby Vision and has a voice-activated remote. It’s available for $24.99 (original price: $49.99).
This Camkory compact camera costs $38.
Point-and-shoot cameras are making a comeback. Experience retro photography with the Camkory Kids Camera for $37.99 (originally $49.99). It shoots in 1080p with a 44MP lens.
This Clokowe mini projector costs $35.
You don’t need an expensive projector— the Clokowe mini projector is just $35 (originally $69.99) after applying a 30% off coupon. It projects in 1080p and is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. Not bad for a budget projector.
A $25 keychain-sized portable charger
You never know how important a charger is until you need it. If you’re one of those people who always forgets to pack a portable charger, this keychain, which also doubles as a universal charger, is a great solution. It’s available for $25.05 (original price: $32.99).
Smart Leak Detectors for $37
Leaks are no joke. They’re so expensive that by the time most homeowners realize they’re there, they’ve already suffered significant damage, costing them dearly to repair. Luckily, smart technology can help: this three-sensor kit from Aqara works with an app to alert you to water leaks. It’s only $36.99 (originally $64.99).
How long do Black Friday deals actually last?
Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, and will run throughout Cyber Week—the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. However, the dates of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been shifted as retailers compete for shoppers. You can take advantage of the same Black Friday deals early in the season , and we expect the sale to end by December 3, 2025.
Which stores have the biggest discounts on Black Friday?
With both large retailers and small businesses competing for Black Friday shoppers, you can expect sales at virtually every store until Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” discounts depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to be offered by large retailers that can afford lower prices, such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our blog .
Are Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers deals you rarely see the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you’re looking to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
