Frequently Asked Questions
Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving. This year, it falls on Nov. 24.
Black Friday sales are already live, emphasizing that the shopping holiday is no longer a 24-hour event. Brands and retailers now start rolling out sales in late October, and the entire month of November has become so concentrated with discounts that experts started calling it “Black November.”
Yes, you should shop early Black Friday sales, experts told us. If you see a deal you’re interested in, it’s best to purchase it — waiting means the product might sell out, which is common leading up to and during mega sales like Black Friday. Items already on sale are not likely to drop in price much more, if at all, once Black Friday starts. Instead, you’ll see repeated early deals and new discounts on Nov. 24.
While Black Friday used to be centered around in-person shopping, it’s largely become an online shopping event, making it difficult to differentiate between Black Friday and Cyber Monday in recent years. Beyond the exciting atmosphere and having products in your hands day-of, there’s no real benefit to shopping in-person on Black Friday, experts told us. You’ll find more deals online than you will in-person, and it’s easier to compare prices across multiple retailers on your phone, tablet or computer.
Cyber Monday takes place the Monday after Thanksgiving. This year, it falls on Nov. 27. On Cyber Monday, you’re likely to see many of the same deals retailers offer on Black Friday, with a handful of new ones across product categories.
Zoe Malin is an associate updates editor at Select who has reported about Black Friday and Cyber Monday since 2020. She wrote Select’s history of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as well as a variety of holiday sales articles. For this piece, Malin researched Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals across retailers and referenced Select’s related coverage.
