What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a major shopping event that occurs the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. While it started as an American tradition, it has gained huge popularity in Australia, with retailers offering amazing discounts across various categories.
It’s a prime time for shoppers to snag deals on electronics, fashion and more, marking the beginning of the festive shopping season. Many Australians eagerly await this day to get ahead on their holiday shopping at a fraction of the price.
What date is Black Friday 2024?
In 2024, Black Friday lands on November 29, with Cyber Monday following shortly after on December 2. However, many retailers keep the momentum going throughout November, launching early sales and often extending deals beyond Cyber Monday.
How does this compare to other sales events?
Black Friday offers some of the biggest discounts of the year across a wide range of categories, from kitchen appliances to fashion and more. What sets it apart from other sales events is the sheer scale of the savings.
With Cyber Monday also following closely behind, it’s an ideal time to get a jump on your Christmas shopping and avoid the hectic rush we all know December brings.
How many Black Fridays are there in 2024?
There is only one official Black Friday (falling on November 29 this year). Although, many retailers extend their sales beyond just that day, giving you discounts throughout the week leading up to it and often continuing into Cyber Monday and beyond. So, while there’s only one “Black Friday,” the sales frenzy can last much longer.
What is the best way to prepare for Black Friday?
The best way to prep for Black Friday? Start early by creating a wishlist and adding those must-haves to your cart.
Do some research on the products you want, so you know what to look for when the deals hit. Many retailers may offer early discounts, so keeping an eye on upcoming sales or bookmarking your top picks is a smart move.
And finally, when Black Friday rolls around, be ready to pounce on the best prices by checking back with curated guides (like this one!) for the top deals.
