When Do Black Friday Deals Start?
Many of this year’s early Black Friday deals are already available. Retailers like Amazon, J.Crew and Best Buy are currently offering discounts on some gift-worthy items. That said, most of the true Black Friday deals won’t be available until 12 a.m. EDT on Friday, Nov. 24.
When Is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday falls on Nov. 24 this year. That will mark the official start of Cyber Week, which runs through the following Friday. That said, the most notable deals are usually available on Black Friday and Cyber Monday themselves.
Are Black Friday Deals Only On Friday?
Short answer: it depends where you’re shopping. Some brands only offer their Black Friday deals for 24 hours on the holiday itself, whereas others extend their markdowns through Cyber Monday (and beyond). But if a discount catches your eye on Black Friday, we recommend picking it up while you can since there’s no guarantee that it’ll still be marked down and in stock after Nov. 24. Keep in mind that there are also a slew of early discounts that you can shop now through Black Friday.
Do You Really Get Better Deals On Black Friday?
Generally, yes. Many retailers reserve their absolute lowest prices of the year for Black Friday, and for some it marks one of the only sales they ever offer. On Black Friday, you’ll generally see all-time low prices on everything from Apple devices to mattresses to clothes. That said, there’s a chance that some items will be on sale for the same prices we’ve seen during other events (like Prime Day), so be sure to do your research if you’re set on getting a record low price.
Our Tips For Shopping This Year’s Black Friday Deals
Black Friday brings tempting discount across just about every category from TVs and smart home devices to clothing and toys. But it can be hard to know which deals are truly worth adding to your cart. Here, our senior deals editor Kara Cuzzone has compiled her advice on how to find the best offers—and avoid overspending.
Do Some Price History Research
Sometimes retailers will inflate the original prices of items to make their Black Friday deals look better than they really are. To avoid getting duped, use a price history tracking site like CamelCamelCamel or Google last year’s Black Friday price of the item you’re interested in. Both methods will help you feel confident that you’re truly getting a good deal.
Make A Shopping List In Advance
With just about every brand you’ve ever heard of running a sale, it can be easy to go on a giant Black Friday shopping spree and end up with products you don’t truly need. To prevent that, try making a shopping list ahead of Nov. 24. That way you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for and be less tempted to make a lot of impulse purchases.
Shop Early
Black Friday has morphed into a multi-day event, with many brands extending their offers through Cyber Monday (and beyond). But the absolute best deals tend to drop at midnight on Black Friday—and sometimes they sell out before the day’s even over. So shopping on the morning of Nov. 24 is likely to give you the best selection of deals to choose from.
Consider Any Big Ticket Items You Might Need To Replace Soon
If you’ll need to replace your mattress, laptop, TV or refrigerator in the next few months, consider picking one up over Black Friday. Big ticket items tend to hit their lowest prices of the year during this time, so by biting the bullet now you’ll save yourself some money in the long run.
Stock Up On Personal Care Staples
Black Friday is a great time to order a few extra bottles of your favorite skincare products, haircare essentials and go-to toothpaste. Most brands run some kind of sitewide sale for the holiday, and you’re likely to see personal care products on sale at Amazon, Target and Walmart.
