Black Friday itself may be over but many deals are still live. And while it's true that the best Black Friday deals tend to be centered around upgrading to a massive TV, getting an Apple Watch at a record-low price, or loading up on stocking stuffers, Black Friday is also a great time to stock up on less exciting items. We're talking things such as toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels — stuff that's always part of the major sale but never gets the same kind of press.

But if you want to add stuff to your cart that you'll be majorly thankful for in the future, consider the boring but essentials. Come next month or even next year when you have a stockpile of batteries available for when the remote goes dead, you'll be very thankful that your Black Friday self swooped in on these deals. Plus, buying them online means you don't have to leave the house and drag all the grocery bags inside.

Since the year 2025 has shown us there's no limit to how expensive things can get, stocking up now gives you some insulation from future price increases or even more intense shrinkflation. Here are some deals to add to your cart while they're still live during Cyber Week.
