And remember the usual caveats: Many of the deals won't actually be live until Black Friday, Nov. 23 (though some, most notably from Best Buy, are already live online). Also, CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page. Got it? Good. Now let's get to the deals.
Amazon's fleet of Alexa-enabled smart speakers goes on sale starting Thanksgiving Day, and that includes a $30 discount on Alexa's flagship, the second-gen Amazon Echo. That discount brings the price down to $69, more than $100 less than the original Echo sold for. That price looks like it'll be available elsewhere, too, including at Target and at Best Buy -- and also Kohl's, where you'll get $15 of in-store credit for every $50 that you spend on Black Friday, meaning that you could buy the Echo for $69 and get an extra $15 to put towards something else. Hmm..
