Welcome to “The Deal Dozen,” where we showcase the 12 best and most popular deals of the week on Ben’s Bargains. These are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the deals you’d take into a foxhole with you.

*A quick briefing of this week’s highlights*

Black Friday might be a week away, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it! Retailers just couldn’t wait to start their sales, so the deals have been flowin’ all week long.

Most of the big Pre-Black Friday sales began late Wednesday night, with Best Buy putting up an Asus Core i3 15.6″ Laptop for $250 and Staples coming out with last year’s Apple iPad mini model for $199.

Target’s been running a new 40% off deal every day this week, including 40% off all holiday decor (who doesn’t need a 4-foot tall inflatable Santa Yoda??), and today Walmart pulled out the big guns with a pretty aggressive Pre-Black Friday Sale, that included a $115 40″ HDTV and some great prices on LEGO sets.

The deals below won’t last long, so get clicking! Also stop by our Freebies page where we’re continually adding new free goodies. Your mission: to save some money!
