Not all Black Friday bargains are created equal. While some so-called deals just see products retailing for the same price they did a month ago, Adobe's sales are genuinely worth your attention.

Black Friday officially starts on November 28 and ends on December 1, but as expected, Adobe has pulled the trigger early and announced major discount pricing for Creative Cloud and Firefly subscriptions.

If you plan to buy, your best option is usually either Adobe’s website, where the company often runs direct promotions, or trusted retailers like Amazon, which sometimes offer prepaid codes at a lower rate.

I’ll be tracking prices closely all the way through Cyber Monday, keeping watch for real savings, as well as calling out any fake “deals” that don’t hold up.
