Black Friday is the ultimate shopping extravaganza, offering massive discounts on everything from electronics to fashion. While it’s tempting to focus on short-term gains, savvy shoppers can also use this opportunity to make long-term investments that will yield substantial savings over time.
This year, let’s explore the best Black Friday deals (that can potentially be combined with Inflation Reduction Act tax credits) to help you save money on energy in the long run.

Smart thermostats, like the popular Nest and Ecobee brands, are designed to learn your preferences and adjust your home’s temperature accordingly. On Black Friday, these devices often come with significant discounts, making them a smart investment for long-term energy savings.
