So if you're willing to bear through the crowds, check out these awesome holiday deals you won't want to miss.

Kindle e-readers

According to an Amazon press release and its Black Friday page, Kindle e-readers will be $20 cheaper on Nov. 25. People also anticipate a price drop for the Amazon Alexa. Sears will offer the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $99.99.

Drones

For only $30, you can purchase a Sharper Image video drone at Walmart on Black Friday. If you want something a little fancier, the retail giant is offering DJI Phantom Standard 3 drones for $369 (a $130 savings).

Tablets/computers

Score a 32GB iPad Mini 2 for only $199 or a Samsung Chromebook 3 for as little as $119 at Walmart. Target is also offering select Apple iPads starting at $199 as well. If those don't suit your fancy, score an Amazon Fire HD8 tablet for only $59.99 at Best Buy.
