Whether you're looking for the latest tech, toys and goodies for the little ones in your life, or a great price on fashion and beauty products you've been holding off on buying, early savings events and Black Friday day-of flash sales are some of the best times to cross items off your list.

There will also be limited time "lightning" deals throughout the Amazon sales event to keep an eye on.
