What Is Black Friday?

Black Friday is the most popular shopping day of the year. It began in 1869, when the price of gold decreased, forcing Wall Street financiers to lose millions. 

The annual shopping holiday takes place at the end of November, following Thanksgiving. 

Retailers are expected to provide some of the best online specials and deals this year, as they have in recent years.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. With Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28, Black Friday will begin on Friday, November 29 this year.

When Do Black Friday Deals Start?

While Black Friday technically begins on November 29 this year, deals should be available as early as October thanks to Amazon's second Prime Day promotion. 

Based on previous years, we expect Amazon's October Prime Day event to take place on October 8 and 9, implying that Black Friday deals will begin immediately after the 48-hour sale.

When do Amazon Black Friday deals start?

While it is sometimes said that businesses keep their best deals for Black Friday, this has not been the case in recent years.

We expect record-low prices on some of this year's best-selling devices, home items, and appliances in October and November.

What Deals to Expect from Black Friday 2024?

Although Black Friday offers a wide range of lucrative deals, they are typically constant throughout some main categories, which are expected to include TVs, gaming PCs, video game consoles, Apple devices, and video games. 

Based on trends from previous years, we anticipate that these categories will continue to offer the highest discounts in 2024.

What Deals Not to Expect from Black Friday 2024?

Even with such a large sales event, we do not anticipate a few things being available for purchase. 

Because Black Friday and Cyber Monday provide the best deals on technology, basics like food and household essentials are rarely discounted significantly.

This also applies to newly introduced technology, such as video game consoles, gadgets, and audio equipment. So do not expect a discount on the Apple Vision Pro or the new iPad Pro.

The PlayStation 5 Pro, which is set to be introduced in Fall 2024 may not be available at a discounted price. You will almost probably be able to find discounts on the PS5, although the most recent version may only be available with tempting bundles at launch.
