Early Black Friday Deals Are Here!
21 Nov
Summary
- Black Friday is on November 28, but early sales have begun.
- Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy offer deals now.
- Track prices to ensure you're getting a genuine discount.
Black Friday, officially set for November 28, has seen its early sales commence, offering consumers a chance to shop ahead of the main event. Major retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy are already featuring significant discounts on a wide array of products, from consumer electronics to home appliances, allowing shoppers to get a head start on holiday gift-buying.
The tradition of Black Friday sales typically begins weeks before Thanksgiving, intensifying as the date approaches. This year, many of these deals are accessible online, with some retailers also maintaining in-store promotions. To ensure genuine savings, shoppers are encouraged to monitor price fluctuations using tools that track historical pricing, as some items may be artificially inflated before sale periods.
The origins of Black Friday are rooted in early 1950s retail practices and traffic congestion, later evolving to signify the profitable period that brings stores "back in the black." Cyber Monday, coined in 2005, emerged to capture the surge in online shopping following the holiday weekend, becoming the biggest online shopping day by 2014.
