While many early deals were available in the week leading up to Black Friday, the biggest savings are now live. Retailers like Amazon, J.Crew and Best Buy are currently offering amazing discounts on some gift-worthy items.
When Is Black Friday 2023?Black Friday is today, Nov. 24. It marks the 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 Black Friday deals for 24 hours on the shopping 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.
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 DealsBlack 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 ResearchSometimes 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 AdvanceWith 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. Making a shopping list in advance means that you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for and will be less tempted to make a lot of impulse purchases. (Psst: You can still do this for Cyber Monday.)
Shop EarlyBlack 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 this morning is likely to give you the best selection of deals to choose from.
Consider Any Big-Ticket Items You Might Need To Replace SoonIf 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 StaplesBlack 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.
