A Kohl’s Black Friday shopping experience doesn’t just mean steep discounts on big-ticket items like TVs and gaming consoles, but Kohl’s Cash– the store’s cash-back incentive . Other retailers like Target and Walmart might offer similar Black Friday deals on stuff like Xbox and PS4 game console bundles, but Kohl’s sweetens the pot. If you’re a frequent Kohl’s shopper, or if you plan to return for more holiday shopping later this year, Kohl’s might be an overall better Black Friday deal (although Target is also offering gift cards with some purchases).
Don’t forget — if you’re shopping at Kohl’s, make sure you download the Kohl’s app to get the best savings. The Kohl’s mobile app tracks both discount codes as well as Kohl’s Cash. You’ll get $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend, both online or in the store. Not to mention, the Yes2You program rewards you with $5 for every $100 you spend.
You don’t have to wait until Black Friday to nab some of these deals, either. Aside from the sales that start online Nov. 25, as well as those that begin at 5 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving Day, there are plenty of deals available right now. Here’s a roundup of the discounts you can get now as well as those you can snag later on.

You know the drill by now. It’s no longer enough to have a giant sale that starts on Turkey Day. Now it has to start weeks in advance, tracing a path through the month of November all the way to Black Friday. That means there are some great deals at Kohl’s you can get right this very minute, and we’ve highlighted them for you here.

LG’s 55-Inch 4K HDR Smart LED TV with AI ThinQ proves that there are going to be some amazing prices on TVs this season. CNET hasn’t reviewed this model, but we looked around and it has gotten great reviews from users. In addition to featuring a 4K display and support for HDR, it also has both Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, so you can command it with the AI assistant of your choice.

Google’s Home Max is aimed at folks who want a smart speaker, but would really like better audio quality at the same time. Think of it like a Sonos Play:5, but from Google. Of course, it builds in Google Assistant, so you can use it to control music, command smart home appliances and hear the news.

In just a few years, Skynet will take control of all the drones to subjugate humans, so you should enjoy them while you still can. DJI is the uncontested leader in the drone world, and the DJI Spark is a great lightweight quadcopter that has advanced features like obstacle avoidance and gesture controls.

Other Kohl’s deals available now
We’ve spotted in Kohl’s Black Friday ad a few deals that went live today. Of course, we recommend that you check the ad yourself to determine if the items are available, if there are any special requirements and whether they’ll be available in the store, online or both.
‘Tis the season for stepping up to a smartwatch with health and fitness features, and the Fitbit Versa 2 is in the sweet spot of offering a great array of features at a very affordable price — especially compared to the Apple Watch, the other device that’s doubling down on fitness features.

We’re surrounded by great console deals for the holidays, and $200 is a familiar resting point for PS4 bundles. But this 1TB Slim console comes with Fortnite Neo Versa and thanks to the $60 in Kohl’s Cash, this may well be one of the more attractive bundles out there right now.

Virtual reality might be a hot commodity this year, but a lot of packages — like HTC’s Vive and Oculus Rift — are too expensive for casual gaming. Even some of the cheaper second-generation headsets that came out in 2019. But PlayStation VR has it all: a great price, lots of games and the right kind of games that you can jump into, play for a little while and pop out before it gets boring. And this deal makes the PlayStation VR all but irresistible.
