When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a big shopping event that occurs each year on the day after Thanksgiving. This year, it falls on Nov. 29.
Since Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas. This makes Black Friday a great chance to finish checking off your holiday shopping list.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday happens on the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2.
Are Sam's Club deals really better on Black Friday?
Yes, Sam's Club and many other retailers offer better deals during Black Friday than the rest of the year. Historically, we have seen the biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season at Sam's Club. This year is no different, with even bigger discounts than last year.
What's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Though there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.
How did we choose these Black Friday deals?
As a product reviewer at ZDNET, I've become familiar with many tech devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range. This experience helps me discern which products are worth their retail price and when a discount is a good deal.
I often check for deals on robot vacuums, tablets, and smart home devices, always choosing the ones that deliver the most features for the least money. Using our expertise and different tools to track deals, we can determine when a deal is worth it and ensure we only cover those. This list of deals will be updated as new deals appear and others sell out.
Where can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
While retailers hold store-specific shopping events throughout the year, like Amazon with Prime Day, you can expect Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to appear everywhere. This includes your local businesses and big box stores. Black Friday is a huge shopping event, both in-person and online, with stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Costco, and more offering eye-popping discounts on different products.
