Today’s best Black Friday deals on top gifts this Christmas, toys, PS5 restocks and more

Don’t have access to Costco, Sam’s Club or BJ’s Wholesale Club? No worries — it’s easy to stock up on essentials at Amazon. Thanks to the Amazon Stock Up and Save sale, Amazon Prime members can save an extra 20% when you buy $50 worth of household goods at Amazon. Now’s the perfect time to stock up on bulk-sized paper towels, kitchen bags, pet training pads and so much more for the coming holidays.

Last year, it was all but impossible to find a PS5 in your local big box store. It’s a bit easier in 2022, but your best bet for scoring a PlayStation 5 console is still going to be online.

To get a PS5 at Amazon, you don’t need to be online at a specific time or frantically smash the refresh button on your browser. Instead, Amazon has an invitation-based system — you click a button to tell Amazon you’re interested in buying a PS5 when it’s available, and the company will email you when it finally is. (Your new PS5 will be reserved for a short time.)

If you’re trying to maximize your odds of getting a PlayStation 5 console, we recommend keeping an eye out for a PS5 gaming bundle. Your odds of getting a PS5 increase with each invitation you request, so why not go through and request an invite for them all? You won’t be charged for a PlayStation 5 console until you actually buy one.

PlayStation 5 console bundled with Horizon Forbidden West, $550

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.
