San Mateo – October 30, 2026 -- Slickdeals has launched The Sift, a free tool that collects more than 1,500 announced Black Friday offers from retailers including Costco, Sam's Club and Lowe's in one searchable list, weeks before the sale begins.
Shoppers can search, filter and save offers without an account
Shoppers can browse and search the list, then filter by retailer, category or discount level. They can save items they are considering without creating an account. Saved lists stay on the same device and browser. Signing in syncs the list across devices and unlocks opt-in email reminders for upcoming offers.
Each listing links to the retailer. When a matching Slickdeals deal becomes available, the listing links to that deal's community discussion and score.
Some offers stay sealed until retailers release their ads
Certain retailer offers remain hidden until each retailer's scheduled release date, so the list grows as more Black Friday ads go public. A Top Saved badge highlights the offers other shoppers are bookmarking most in each category.
Slickdeals says the offers are currently scattered across retailer announcements, websites and online discussions, which makes it harder to see the full picture.
Community spreadsheets inspired the tool
In recent years, Slickdeals community members built their own Black Friday spreadsheets to organize thousands of offers. The Sift builds on that approach. Johan Mengesha, Head of Content and Partnerships at Slickdeals, said the tool turns planning that members did by hand into something every shopper can use to decide early.
The Sift differs from Slickdeals' community-vetted deals, which members post, vote on and discuss. It focuses on what retailers have announced is coming.
Top community-voted deals arrive in mid-November
Around mid-November, The Sift will add a selection of top community-voted deals from Slickdeals. This helps shoppers move from planning to finding live deals. The Sift is available now for Black Friday 2026 on phone or computer, with no account required.
