The Ultimate Black Friday 2022 live blog: The best deals at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Kohl’s and more this weekend

There are a number of great early Black Friday fitness deals happening at Best Buy right now: You can get a Schwinn IC4 Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike for $800 (save $200), and a Bowflex VeloCore Bike with a 22-inch console for $1,700 (save $500). But for keeping fit this holiday, we especially love the deal on these space-saving Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbells. They’re rated 4.8 stars at Best Buy, and right now, you can get them for $80 off.

Each dumbbell in this Bowflex SelectTech set can be adjusted from 5 pounds up to 52.5 pounds in 2.5 pound increments, all with the turn of a dial. This one set can replace an entire (heavy!) set of thirty standard dumbbells. 

Says one Best Buy reviewer: “Quality product, packaged well and easy to assemble and operate. Just follow the directions thoroughly. I highly recommend the stand designed for these.”

Right now at Best Buy, you can get just the adjustable dumbbells for $350 (save $80), or get a dumbbell package that includes a stand with media rack for $480 (save $130).

Now’s a great time to be shopping for a new tablet: Amazon has slashed prices on its Fire HD tablet line, well before Black Friday. You can pick up a new Fire 7 tablet for yourself for less than $50, or a new Fire HD 10 Kids tablet to put under the tree at Christmas, and you’ll save up to 50% while doing it.

This full-featured tablet, designed for kids ages 3-7, includes a full 1080p HD display, dual cameras, a kid-proof case and robust parental controls. The Fire HD 10 Kids tablet also comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, a digital subscription that grants access to age-appropriate books, games, videos and apps.

Little Live Pets Mama Surprise is the No. 1 bestselling toy among CBS Essentials readers this year. What makes it so popular? When you care for the cute guinea pig toy, it gives birth to three babies. The included hutch can be reloaded, so kids can repeat the unique toy experience as often as they’d like.

The toy is so popular, in fact, that it’s been sold out at Amazon recently. But we just spotted a restock of this most wanted holiday gift for girls of 2022 — plus a $15 off coupon deal at Amazon that’s not to be missed. Buy this toy now, while you still can.

Surprise! This Little Live Pets Mama Surprise guinea pig gives birth to three babies. Feed and brush mama until her heart starts to glow. Then place her in her hutch, and she will have a baby that comes with a special care package. Repeat the process and she will birth three babies in total.

Be sure to apply the Amazon coupon before checkout to get the best price.

Not to be outdone by Walmart and Amazon, department store Kohl’s is holding its own early Black Friday sale today. The retailer is offering big deals on apparel and home goods with some added savings: You’ll save an extra 15% on your Kohl’s purchase when you use the code SAVE15 at checkout (expires Nov. 10). Plus, there’s a bonus Kohl’s Cash event today only — you’ll get $15 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend (redeemable Nov. 5-17).

One of our favorite Kohl’s deals right now is this Keurig K-Duo coffee maker. It’s a CBS Essentials reader favorite. And it’s less than half price, even before you factor in the bonus Kohl’s Cash you’ll get today.

Looking for a coffee maker that’s able to make large pots of brew, but is versatile enough to also make coffee from K-Cup pods? Then you need the Keurig K-Duo coffee maker.

Kohl’s reviewers praise the 4.1-star-rated coffee maker’s ease of use and compact design. Says one reviewer: “For having the carafe feature, it surprisingly does not take up too much space on the counter and it does not weigh a ton either.”

Again, be sure to use the code SAVE15 at checkout to get the best price. You’ll also get $15 in Kohl’s Cash with your purchase to spend in the next two weeks.

Want some added peace of mind this holiday season? Blink cameras are an affordable way to build a smart home security system. They make it easy to keep an eye on your home when you’re away, and to monitor your porch for deliveries (and package thieves).

Best of all: Blink cameras are seriously discounted at Amazon now, ahead of Black Friday. You can get a two pack for $30 now — a savings of more than 50%. (Blink Outdoor cameras and Blink video doorbells are on sale, too.)

The Blink Mini smart home security camera features 1080p video recording (cloud-based saving optional), motion detection and two-way audio. Blink Mini works with Alexa, so you can monitor your cameras from your Amazon Echo Show ($35) via voice command.

Amazon is offering an early Black Friday deal right now on a range of iRobot Roomba robot vacuum models. One of our favorite deals is the one being offered on the top-rated iRobot Roomba j7+, our pick for the best robot vacuum for avoiding dog poop.

It makes a great Christmas or Hanukkah gift, or a great gift to yourself — who wouldn’t want clean floors for when all the holiday guests arrive?

The iRobot Roomba j7+ is designed with the issue of dog poop in mind. This smart vacuum includes iRobot’s P.O.O.P. guarantee, or “Pet Owner Official Promise.” Your Roomba j7+ is guaranteed to avoid pet waste or iRobot will replace your vacuum for free. 

The vacuum features a powerful three-stage cleaning system with iRobot’s most powerful suction. The home-cleaning device uses an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners. The Roomba j7+ features dual multi-surface rubber brushes that flex to adjust to different floor types. Best of all, they don’t get tangled with pet hair.

When it’s done cleaning, the device automatically empties into its included clean base for easy dirt disposal with enclosed bags. Just empty the cleaning station once every 60 days.
