’Tis the season for holiday sales, and there are plenty of retailers getting ahead of the action this year by launching an early version of their discount bonanzas. Target’s the latest one to kick off: The company’s early Holiday Best Deals sale has just launched, and it’ll be going until the shopping holiday itself starts — with a twist.
Each week, there will be a new round of deals at Black Friday prices, with items getting swapped out for fresh bargains each Sunday until Black Friday itself. There will also be daily deals on things like SodaStreams and Roku TVs, so check in throughout the month for these rotating one-hit wonders. Plus, if prices dip lower at any point until Dec. 24, Target will offer a price match guarantee so you’re sure to get the best deal.
This week’s sale? TVs, laptops and headphones. Read on for 17 of our picks from this week’s lineup — and be sure to shop before the deals are gone.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Earbuds ($169.99, originally $199.99; target.com)
Some of the best headphones available at the moment, these Samsung Galaxy earbuds will enhance your listening experience whether you’re listening on a Galaxy phone or not.
