Those pesky supply chain issues you keep hearing about are set to make availability the main plotline of this year’s Black Friday sales (especially when it comes to big-ticket items like gaming consoles and Apple devices). Plan ahead, though, and you just might be able to score a good deal while you’re at it.
Early birds will enjoy their first major payoff this week as Amazon runs a holiday kick-off sale on its proprietary devices: Starting Oct. 4, you can save on Fire, Kindle, and Echo devices from the past few years. (Pro tip: Don’t wait to hit “purchase” if something catches your eye, because we have no idea how long these offers are scheduled to last.)
