Black Friday is nice… in theory. You get up before sunrise, grab a toasty XXL hazelnut peppermint latte at the drive-thru, and wait patiently outside the local big-box store with other eager shoppers. The doors open, everyone walks into the store in an orderly fashion, and the cashier smiles as you save thousands on the high-end electronics you've been wanting. That's how it's supposed to work, right?

The reality of the situation is more like a real-life zombie apocalypse, complete with surging crowds, gnashing of teeth, and people getting trampled. Fear not, because we've got your back for Black Friday 2015. We've gathered some of the best survival-related deals for you right here, so you can save money without even leaving your couch. (Don't say we never did anything nice for you.)

Without further ado, here are our picks for the best Black Friday deals this year.
