When is Black Friday?

Black Friday always falls the day after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, Black Friday will be on Nov. 29, 2024. 

When is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, and the end of the “Cyber 5” savings week. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024. 

Are deals really better on Black Friday?

Black Friday certainly brings seasonal savings and, of course, some artificial deals you need to be aware of. But for the most part, it is a good time to score savings on a majority of products across tons of categories, from tech to home, to name a few. Perhaps the best part about Black Friday is the enormous amount of sales occurring at nearly every major retailer, both in-store and online, giving you the best opportunity to find savings at basically everywhere you like to shop. And while Amazon has great deals year-round, just like any other retailer, they’re looking to maximize their sale traffic, too, meaning you can definitely expect savings. 

What’s the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Semantics, mostly. Black Friday traditionally refers to the day of savings that follows Thanksgiving, which at one point was an in-stores-only event. Over the years, Black Friday sales have expanded and lengthened to include online retailers, hence “Cyber Week” and “Cyber Monday.” Cyber Monday refers to the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend, and originally referred to online savings on lots of products. These days, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer similar savings in-store and online. 

How did we choose these Black Friday deals?

Each holiday season, we carefully select the range of products we focus our coverage on, so we can be sure we’re bringing you the best deals and the most information on products we’re experts on. ZDNET also only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter. 

Where can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? 

You can find Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals pretty much anywhere (that means in store and online). Popular retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Macy’s, and more will all be offering holiday savings online and in their brick-and-mortar stores.
