Amazon really wants you to get a deal

It's always a safe bet that Amazon will have some kind of deal going on. But as Black Friday gets closer, Amazon is adding new deals each day. To quote Amazon, "The party is just getting started." Here are a few things that we like:

• Snag a Fujifilm X-T1 (body only) mirrorless camera for $899 (save $400). The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for more advanced photographers. It has a stunning viewfinder, comfy grip and plethora of direct controls. The X-T1 is a joy to shoot and the image quality is great. Read more on the X-T1's pluses and minuses in our review.

Best Buy lives up to its name

We've seen a preview of what Best Buy is offering up for Black Friday, but the retailer's pre-Black Friday deals deserve a good look, too. Currently Best Buy has great deals on smartphones, computers and Samsung televisions. Some of the biggest savings are on appliances. You can save 10-40 percent off appliances right now -- everything from refrigerators and dishwashers to washers and dryers. Here are some other deals worth a look:

• The iPhone 7 has a beautiful design, a great camera, a good battery and is water resistant. Right now, you can get up to a $250 Best Buy gift card when you buy an iPhone 7 on a monthly installment plan. The fine print here is that this deal doesn't apply to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the gift card amount is dependent on which iPhone 7 model you buy. Check out our iPhone 7 review for more information about Apple's flagship phone.
• You can pick up a Microsoft 13-inch Surface Book for $1,250 (save $250). It has an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and a 128GB solid-state drive for storage.
