Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales?

Yes, you will need to be a Prime Member to shop the exclusive sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Prime membership starts at $14.99 per month. While only you can decide if buying a yearly Prime membership is worth it for you, remember you can always sign up and then cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over: Amazon offers a free 30-day trial, so you can shop during both events (and even get some early Black Friday deals) before canceling without being charged. Here's how to sign up for a Prime account and all of the benefits that come with it.

What other retailers are doing Black Friday sales?

The other major retailers doing sales are Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Right now, Best Buy is the one having the biggest early Black Friday sale, with new deals every Friday. Target has some week-long deals and a Deal of the Day. For Walmart, you'll have to wait until Nov. 14.

Some tips for a successful Black Friday with Amazon

If this will be your first Black Friday shopping at Amazon, there are some basic things you need to know about Amazon sales:

• You can share your Prime membership with family members even if they don't live with you.

• You can set price alerts for products you want and your Alexa devices can notify you when they go on sale.

• There are usually some "Invite-Only" deals that you can sign up for.

• There are tools you can use to see if the deal you're looking at is good or not.

But if you only take one bit of advice for shopping on Amazon, let it be this one: Don't buy anything you weren't going to buy anyway. A good way to make sure you do this is by making a list of the products you do want, and only having eyes for those.
