After weeks of plugging increasingly inviting discounts, retailers in the U.S. and several other countries are preparing for prime time: Black Friday, the bargain bonanza that still reigns as the unofficial kickoff of the holiday shopping season even if it’s lost some luster.

Thanks to its Black Friday deal, you’ll get the most bang for your buck well beyond the holidays. Right now, you can grab a whole year for only $20, no promo code required, and you’ll get an ad-supported Peacock sub for just $1.

Black Friday is one of the best times (if not the best time) to sign up for streaming services, as you can typically score some serious savings on monthly membership fees. In years past, we've seen Hulu offer 99 cent subscriptions and Max offer six months of streaming for $2.
