When is Black Friday?

Black Friday annually takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which for 2024 falls on Friday, November 29. While brick and mortar retail outlets will be opening their doors at midnight after Thanksgiving, online outlets will be dishing out their best offerings at the same time online. And while Black Friday itself officially starts at midnight, you’ll want to check in regularly throughout the day, as some deals will come and go quickly as Black Friday unfolds.

It could be also be argued that Black Friday has already started, as we’ve been seeing a tremendous amount of early Black Friday deals on pretty much every category of product we cover. Retailers are well aware of the attention Black Friday gets, and have come to use the weeks leading up to dish out some impressive deals and some good previews for what Black Friday itself might have in store.

How to choose deals on Black Friday

Black Friday, and the additional Cyber Monday sale that comes after it, is one of the best times of the year to buy electronics like TVs, laptops, phones, and things of that nature. That said, home appliances also tend to have pretty great deals during these periods, so if you’re looking for things like coffee makers, air fryers, fridges, or washing machines, then it’s worth keeping an eye out during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Of course, that’s not to say that there aren’t a lot of other product categories on sale with good discounts, but if you’re looking at it across the whole year, this is the best time for electronics.

Another thing worth considering is that the line between when a sale period starts and ends has become very blurred over the years. That means that you’re likely going to find a lot of excellent deals leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, even as early as a week or more beforehand. That means that if you find a deal on an item you want now, then go ahead and snag it; you never know if the deal will come back during Black Friday and Cyber Monday or if it’s going to be as good.

How we chose these Black Friday deals

Of course, Black Friday tends to be one of the biggest sales periods along with Prime Day, which means that hundreds and thousands of deals go on sale. As such, our focus is to wade through all the options and decide what deals to include based on our experience and tools. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with a large selection of deals that offer you the best return on your investment so that you aren’t constantly wondering if you got the best deal you could or if you made the right choice.
