Black Friday Timing and Availability
Black Friday 2025 officially occurs on November 28, with most retailers already offering extended early deals beginning weeks prior. Unlike traditional one-day sales, modern Black Friday promotions typically run from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, with many deals extending into the following week. Online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target often provide the most competitive pricing, though manufacturer websites frequently match retailer offers. Apple, notably, does not discount products on its own website, making third-party retailers essential for Apple device savings. Interested shoppers should monitor retailer websites directly for brand-specific deals—checking Sonos for speakers or Dyson for vacuums often reveals manufacturer-exclusive promotions.
