Black Friday offers some of the best prices you'll find all year, and shoppers are hitting retailers' websites in droves. In fact, according to our survey, more than half of shoppers said they planned to shop Black Friday and Cyber weekend sales this year. That makes nabbing the best deals incredibly competitive.
Even though Black Friday weekend 2020 isn't even over, some deals on popular products are already selling out.
Lucky for you, there isn't just competition between consumers over snagging the best deals. There's also intense competition among retailers over offering the best deals (and scooping up shoppers their competitors leave hanging). So, if an item you tried to "add to cart" disappears, there might be another retailer waiting in the wings with a similar deal.
Here's our list of items that are selling out -- and retailers that are offering similar alternatives. This list is accurate as of the most current publish date, and your results may vary.
Gaming
PS5
Out of stock at: Practically everywhere.
If you find a PS5 in stock anywhere, consider it a deal. Walmart advertised limited availability for its online Black Friday sale, but it sold out in minutes. GameStop is also making a few consoles available at each store on Black Friday.
Xbox Series X/S
Out of stock at: Practically everywhere.
If you find an Xbox Series X or S anywhere, consider it a deal. Walmart advertised some availability during its Black Friday sale, but all units sold out almost immediately. GameStop is also making a few consoles available at each store on Black Friday.
