I work for an online business. Its very small but the owner tries to run it like a Fortune500 company. They're all about SEO and attend all kinds of seminars with words like Synergistic and 'metrics that mater' etc. They've spent the past month upping all our prices by 30% so we can offer a 20% discount and still make more than normal. Its shitty and I'm not a fan, but this seems to be the norm lately. That, or just offering worse quality in general. Ive avoided black Friday deals for a while now.

Also very illegal in some places.
The big box store my dad worked at in the 80βs did this. Theyβd all have to stay late the night before raising the prices of many items, so that when they went on βsaleβ, they still were making money.
Check geizhals.de, skinflint.co.uk or other sites that track prices to not fall for this.
Since this is a global forum, you will get plenty of irrelevant suggestions.
But sure, I'll bite:
Sony WH-1000XM4 for 2290 SEK at Komplett, Webhallen, Net On Net, Power, Elgiganten and Dustin.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro for 1290 SEK at Inet, Kjell, Komplett, Net On Net, Power and Elgiganten.
Bose QC SE for 1990 SEK at Net On Net, Komplett and Elgiganten.
Hestra gloves seem to have a good discount on pricerunner / prisjakt.nu
I can also vouch for the quallity of Hestra gloves, their moose skin leather gloves are excellent
I don't know whether that's a good price in SEK for the Jabra headphones. I have the Elite active 7s (sport edition) and am very happy with them.
It is a good price for them, not amazing, but a good price, accoring to Prisjakt's history graph it is the lowest by 200sek they have been on sale for since they launched.
Every black Friday is when you spend like $9 at Walmart so you can replace your old Tupperware with new Tupperware.
Also, roombas can usually be had for cheap. Roomba had the patent for two brush rollers (not some brushes. Rollers) and having dual allowed roomba to clean a lot better than any other bots while not needing a bunch of suction power or other pricey stuff. About a year ago their patent time finally ran out. There's been a couple other bots that have gotten dual rollers since then, but right now it's mostly still roomba, so that's what I recommend if you want to spend under $300 and have a Bot that picks up well. Replacement parts for roombas are also plentiful and often pretty cheap.
Think yubico is having a ~~buy 1 get 1 free~~ deal for their yubikeys this cyberweek
Edit: its a buy 1 get 1 50% off deal
Protonmail has good Black Friday deals of you want to de-Google a bit. FoundryVTT also does a good Black Friday deal if you're looking for a virtual tabletop for D&D or whatever other TTRPG you want to play.
Every year Hulu offers 12 months for $12
Always hard to pass that one up.
It's add supported Hulu. I'm not going to pay AND watch commercials. Even if it's only a dollar a month, it seems dumb they wouldn't just give you the damned service.
I had that plan last year and between the pihole I run on my network and ublock origin in my browser I maybe only saw two or three ads.

Makeship is having a sale on their new Glow in the Dark plushies. It's not a huge discount, but the proceeds go towards supporting independent artists which is always a good thing.
I can't really speak for your area, but there aren't many things going on where I am in terms of Black Friday, not like last year and the year before. The closest thing to a constant throughout the years is that one humorist (run between family members) at the store every Black Friday with the charity stall that sells coal lumps; arguably not store-appropriate, but it fills in vacant areas and has a visual niceness effect.
I was just looking at that today. Costco deals look like real deals. Zenni optical might have some stuff. Target has their β40% off some lego setsβ again.
Barnes and noble has a pretty good deal on their exclusive hard covers. Buy one get one 50% off
