With so many Black Friday preview sales appearing all over the internet weeks before Thanksgiving, early bird shoppers are in for a treat long before they run out of Halloween candy. Whether youโ€™re interested in crossing holiday shopping off your list ahead of time, or need an excuse to treat yourself because youโ€™ve been on Santaโ€™s good list all year, there are some gigantic early Black Friday sales for savvy shoppers to take advantage of right now. Here are many of the best discounts and super sales leading up to Black Friday 2024.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving, and this yearโ€™s biggest shopping holiday falls on November 29th. While Black Friday itself ends at midnight, expect to see many sales pop up prior to Thanksgiving, and others extend throughout the weekend. Note that Cyber Monday is technically its own shopping event, and itโ€™s worth investigating, as well.

What deals should I expect on Black Friday?

There are already plenty of early Black Friday deals in the wild and with more appearing every day as we count down to Black Friday itself on November 29th. Big retail websites and smaller brands will offer a variety of discounts on everything from apparel, laptops, video games, appliances, toys, cosmetics, gift sets, TVs, tablets, and just about anything else that may be on your Christmas shopping list. What makes Black Friday extra-special for shoppers is the likelihood that youโ€™ll find markdowns of 50% off or more on must-own products, so if you find something that catches your eye, I suggest buying it while you can!

What kind of Black Friday deals were there last year?

There were far too many noteworthy deals throughout Black Friday 2023 to list them all, but some of the standouts were the tidal wave of sales across all categories at Amazon, big discounts on recently released electronics, including tablets, TVs, video games, and more from Best Buy, up to $500 off kitchen bundles from Home Depot.

I expect these, and other retailer websites like Wayfair, Walmart, Nordstrom, Dyson, and Petco to have another massive lineup of exceptional deals for Black Friday 2024.

How to get a good deal on Black Friday

Itโ€™s not enough to be aware that there are early Black Friday deals in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, as there are a few reliable techniques for saving even more money while you shop.

Set Google alerts for brands you like and products youโ€™re hunting for, and consider following them directly via your social media platform of choice for the latest information on their individual sales.

Search for coupon codes for an even bigger discount, and remember that many websites will give you a significant price reduction on your order if you sign up for their email list before you buy.

Here's a pro tip for lightning-fast price comparisons between online retailers: Note the exact product number of electronics like laptops and TVs, so you can simply paste it into a websiteโ€™s search bar, note the price, and see how it compares to what competing sellers offer.

Even if youโ€™re early Black Friday shopping for everyone else, itโ€™s easy to give yourself a little something by using a credit card that rewards you with bonus points or cash back offers. If youโ€™re a big holiday shopper, those credit card bonuses will pile up fast!

Where to find early Black Friday deals

If youโ€™re not a veteran Black Friday shopper, itโ€™s easy to become overwhelmed by the number of sales out there, but itโ€™s easier than you may expect to narrow the search for the most valuable early deals by focusing on official brand websites and mass retailers.

For example, many brands are offering early Black Friday savings if you buy directly from their websites, such as Litter-Robot, Hydrow, and ASUS. If youโ€™re a fan of certain companies or specific products that pop up on holiday wish lists, itโ€™s worth checking the brand or retailer homepage to see if theyโ€™re running an early sale right now. If you have a general idea of what youโ€™re interested in buying, browse big retailer websites like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon frequently because early sales quickly come and go during the leadup to Black Friday itself.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving, and this yearโ€™s biggest shopping holiday falls on November 29th. While Black Friday itself ends at midnight, expect to see many sales pop up prior to Thanksgiving, and others extend throughout the weekend. Note that Cyber Monday is technically its own shopping event, and itโ€™s worth investigating, as well.

What is a Black Friday sale?

Since the American Thanksgiving holiday is always on a Thursday, early holiday shoppers can look forward to most retailers across the United States offering sizable discounts on everything from electronics and apparel, to appliances and toys, and just about everything in between the next day, or Black Friday.

Each store is different, and while many Black Friday sales begin and end on the same day, others may extend well into the weekend, with even more sales appearing on the following Cyber Monday. This is an excellent opportunity for people to buy Christmas presents, grab some upgrades to the things they already own at a significant discount, and treat themselves too, however Black Friday Preview sales events that appear long before Thanksgiving have become fairly common in recent years.

Why is it called Black Friday?

Black Friday was referenced for the first time after the U.S. stock market crashed due to the collapse of the gold market on September 24, 1869.

Since the 1980s, retailers began using โ€œBlack Fridayโ€ while referencing how their finances began to become profitable around the time of this unique day-after-Thanksgiving shopping day; going from โ€œin the redโ€, indicating financial loss, to โ€œin the blackโ€. The popularity of Black Friday eventually led to the widespread adoption of โ€œCyber Mondayโ€, where online retailers offer additional discounts on the Monday after Black Friday.
