With Black Friday slowly rolling on us, there are many great early Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, such as this North Face Black Friday sale on outdoor stuff or this Tumi Black Friday sale on wallets, bags, and suitcases. One of the things that's great to grab during Black Friday and Cyber Monday is electronics, and that's why we're already seeing great sales on things like TVs. Take, for example, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal from Amazon, which knocks $100 off the original price to bring it down to just $200, which is a steal.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch Class F30 Series
One thing that's great about the F30 Series from Insignia is that it's very budget-friendly, especially since the brand was created under the premise of being budget-oriented but still provides great features. That's how you can get a 50-inch TV that gives you 4k resolution. The whole thing is also built on the Fire TV platform, so if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, this is perfect, and if you aren't, then you still get access to all the apps you'd expect on any other major smart TV platform. You might also be surprised to hear that the F30 Series supports HDR10, one of the better HDR standards, and that means you'll get excellent contrast and image quality compared to a traditional TV without HDR.

Why You Should Buy the Insignia 130-Can Beverage Cooler
Okay, so, maybe Insignia's 130-can cooler didn't make it on our list of the best beverage coolers for 2023, but that's okay because it's not just comparable, it has a lot of additional features that make it worthy of your attention. For example, the touch controls and LED display make it easy to adjust temperature settings and keep an eye on your cold storage. Plus, there are three fully-adjustable wood-trimmed shelves for the interior, which you can use to organize your snacks, beverages, and whatever else you might store inside.
