Best Buy is joining the early Black Friday sale club this weekend, offering My Best Buy Plus and Total members a chance to save on Apple products, video games, TVs, headphones, and much more. We’re tracking another similar early Black Friday sale at Sonos.

You’ll need to be a My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total member in order to see these deals. These memberships start at $49.99 per year, and provide a few bonuses over the free version of My Best Buy. This includes free two-day shipping, exclusive access to sales like this weekend’s early Black Friday event, extended 60-day return window on most products, and more.
In terms of Apple products, Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale has a new all-time low price on the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air.
