When is Black Friday?

Black Friday takes place on November 29 this year. It always lands the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which falls on the fourth Thursday in November. Expect hundreds of markdowns and major sales from the biggest online retailers.

Which stores have Black Friday sales?

Almost every major retailer is offering tons of deals and discounts for Black Friday. Think Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, as well as more specialized retailers like B&H Photo, GameStop, and Dell. Major retailers with brick-and-mortar locations — such as Target and Walmart — will offer online savings, whereas Best Buy’s Cyber ​​Monday deals are both in-store and online. Also remember that physical locations may run out of stock.

When does the Black Friday sale end?

Black Friday sales tend to last a few days after the big sales event itself, which is November 29 this year. With this in mind, it’s fair to assume that deals will run all weekend into early December. It will then be taken over by Cyber ​​Monday on December 2. Just note that the best deals are expected on the primary Black Friday date.

Are Black Friday deals only available online?

Generally speaking, yes. The number of deals launched exclusively in stores has been declining in recent years, and this was certainly accelerated during COVID-19, where crowds were discouraged and much of the shopping moved online. We’ve seen retailers like Walmart and Target offer online-only deals in the past, while others like Best Buy extend their Black Friday savings to in-store stores as well.

When is Cyber ​​Monday?

Cyber ​​Monday is scheduled to take place on December 2 this year. The big sales event always takes place on the first Monday after Thanksgiving in the US, which is the fourth Thursday in November every year. Between Black Friday – which is the day after Thanksgiving – and Cyber ​​Monday, we see a spike in sales, although in recent years the shopping event has become a month-long bonanza.

Why are they called Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday?

The term “black” has historically been used to denote disturbing or catastrophic events. The earliest known use of Black Friday for the Friday after Thanksgiving was to refer to the practice of workers calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving in the early 1950s. Around the same time, US police used the term to describe traffic conditions during the first major holiday shopping date.

After attempts to transition to the term “Big Friday” failed, merchants attempted to improve upon the term Black Friday in subsequent years, suggesting that its origin was not due to the terrible traffic the shopping spree generated, but because the profits it generated put the stores “back in the black” in financial terms.

Then, in 2005, the National Retail Federation coined the term “Cyber ​​Monday” because it had noticed an increase in online traffic the Monday after Thanksgiving. At the time, it was thought to be because people made online purchases while at work after the holidays, so their children couldn’t see any gift purchases, and because work computers typically had faster Internet connections. There was some talk about calling the date Black Monday or Blue Monday — because hyperlinks are blue — but eventually everyone settled on the more futuristic-sounding Cyber ​​Monday. In 2014, Cyber ​​Monday became the largest online shopping day in the country.
