You can find bath towels for as low as $1.60, pillows for $2.99, and 1100 count sheets for $19.99. Here are the best deals if towels and sheets are on your list this year.
- Walmart: Bath towel or 6-ct. washcloths ($1.60)

Televisions
Holy Flat Screen, Batman. If you need a TV, this is definitely a year to buy it. Deals vary from store to store and brand to brand. Personally, if I were in the market, I’d buy at Meijer, Best Buy, or even Kohl’s to take advantage of cash back/coupon offers and rewards points. Here are the best deals as I see them.
- Best Buy: Sharp 50″ LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HD TV Roku TV ($179.99)

Amazon Devices
If someone you love has a Kindle, Echo, or FireTV on their wishlist this year, Black Friday is your day to buy for sure. Amazon will slice the prices on these items to the lowest throughout the year and other big box retailers will compete on the same level. My pick for the Kindle is actually Meijer because if you’re doing other shopping and use mPerks, you’re likely to trigger coupons and rewards. Or spend more than $50 at Target on Friday, November 24th and you’ll trigger a 20% off a future shopping trip coupon, too.
Amazon:
- Beginning November 19th: Kindle Paperwhite ($89.99)
- Beginning November 23rd: Amazon Cloud Cam ($99.99)
- Beginning November 23rd: Echo Plus ($119.99)
- Beginning November 23rd: Fire 7 ($29.99)
- Beginning November 23rd: Fire HD 8 ($49.99)
Others:
- Meijer: Amazon Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa ($29.99)
- Target: Amazon Fire TV Stick ($24.99)
- Target: Amazon Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa ($29.99)
