Everyone else is lying to you, pulling the wool over your eyes. REI doesn't do a Black Friday sale. At least not in name. There's a Winter Sale this week, lasting until next November, 25, and there'll be some sort of small sale leading up to Thanksgiving.

If you love the great outdoors or are gift-shopping for the outdoorsmen in your life, REI is a one-stop shop for all the best brands. REI notoriously forgoes a Black Friday event, presenting the #OptOutside campaign instead.

The outdoor retailer has major deals on winter essentials that will be gone by the time Black Friday rolls around.

Don’t miss your chance to save big on your favorite brands, including Patagonia, Arc’teryx, and The North Face.

As we plan our favorite Thanksgiving meals, the gift-giving holiday season is just around the corner. Hoosiers can shop these early Cyber Monday sales.

We're less than a week away from Black Friday, but bargains are already starting to explode. Here are five deals for as much as 77% off top brands from Amazon and Arlo to Hisense and Samsung.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday travel deals in New England, from Boston to Cape Cod to the New Hampshire mountains.
