Black Friday can be a great time of year to buy electronics. And if you have a Costco membership, the savings will be even greater. If you’re retired and planning to do some electronics shopping on Black Friday, here are six things to keep in mind at Costco.

Ring alarm

If you’ve been thinking about adding a security system to your home, Black Friday might be the time to do it. From November 18th to December 2nd, you can purchase an 8-piece Ring Alarm home security system for $119.99. That’s $80 off the regular price.

This system includes the base station, the keypad, the range extender, the motion detector, the panic button and three contact sensors. This will only be available online at Costco.com and not in stores.

Blink 8 camera security system

If you want a security system but would prefer to have cameras integrated, then the Blink 8 camera security system is a great option. Similar to the Ring system, this one is only available online at Costco.com. This system includes four wireless outdoor cameras and two pluggable indoor cameras. You can purchase this system for $199.99, a savings of $200 off the regular price.

Sonos sound system

I received Sonos speakers as a Christmas present a few years ago and couldn’t be happier. When you connect them for the first time, you go through a calibration process that allows each speaker to understand your room and ensure sound travels optimally.

If you’re looking to upgrade your movie watching experience, Costco is offering a great Black Friday sale on several Sonos items. You can purchase any of the following products.

• Sonos Arc Soundbar: The retail price for this soundbar bundle is $719.99 ($180 off) – it includes a coupon for 30% off a Sonos accessory, $60 in Apple credit or SiriusXM credit, and a wall mount coupon valued at $100 $79.
• Sonos Beam Soundbar: The retail price for this second-generation soundbar is $369.99 ($130 off) – it includes a coupon for 30% off a Sonos accessory, $40 Apple credit or a four-month Pandora Premium membership, and a coupon for the wall mount worth $49.
• Sonos wireless subwoofer: The retail price for this wireless subwoofer is $639.99 ($130 off) – it includes a coupon for 30% off a Sonos accessory, $80 Apple credit, or SiriusXM credit.
• Sonos Era 100 speakers: The retail price for this two-speaker pack is $374.99 ($80 off) – it includes a coupon for 30% off a Sonos accessory.
• Sonos Move 2 wireless portable speaker: The retail price for this portable speaker is $359.99 ($90 off) – it includes a coupon for 30% off a Sonos accessory and a travel bag coupon valued at $79.

HP touchscreen laptop

If you need a new laptop, check out this deal on a 17.3-inch touchscreen laptop from HP. This comes with an Intel Core 7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, 2 terabytes of SSD and a two-year warranty.

The regular price is $849.99, but starting November 28th online and November 29th in store, this will be reduced to $599.99.

Samsung TVs

If you need a new TV but want to avoid the Black Friday hustle and bustle, check out the sale prices on several Samsung DU7200D 4K UHD LED LCD TVs. The following deals are only available online at Costco.com.

Google Nest Learning Thermostat

One of the best ways to save money on your heating and cooling costs is with a programmable thermostat. The Google Nest Learning Thermostat not only lets you program how warm or cool you want your home to be at certain times of the day, but you can also have it program itself based on your activity.

The regular price is $179.99, but from November 18th to December 2nd the price will be reduced to $139.99.
