Black Friday Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we call Black Friday Black Friday?
It's thought that the term Black Friday was used as early as the 1950s by workers who call in sick to work the day after Thanksgiving in order to to accrue a four-day weekend but there is speculation that it also refers to sales by companies moving from being 'in the red' to 'in the black'.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday 2024 is now over. The last Black Friday was technically on Friday 29 November 2024 but continued over the weekend, changing to Cyber Monday on Monday 2 December 2024. Early Black Friday sales typically start as early as late October each year with some retailers running a 'Black Friday week' ahead of the day itself.
Should I wait for Black Friday deals?
Yes, if you're reading this in September or October and need to save money on your purchase. Black Friday often gives big discounts on certain products but there's no knowing for sure if the product you want will be on sale.
Amazon Prime Day is usually around 10 July and usually a second Prime Day occurs around 10 October each year, and other sites run competing sales events during this summer and fall period.
However, if you're reading this any time outside of those periods, it might be worth just shopping for the best deal and purchasing when it suits you, unless you're happy to wait until a peak trading event like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is an extension of the sales event known as Black Friday. Though Black Friday is the iconic day after Thanksgiving when stores slash prices on their products, recent years have seen Cyber Monday become just as popular. The term "Cyber Monday" was coined in 2005 and, as the story goes, came to be because Black Friday shoppers would try continuing their spree on Monday when they went back to work. The reason? Well, a faster internet connection, of course. Then, stores just started rolling with it.
When is Cyber Monday?
The last Cyber Monday was December 2 2024. Black Friday sales run from the Friday after Thanksgiving and over the weekend. Then, on the Monday after, sales get the new name of "Cyber Monday."
Is Black Friday better than Cyber Monday?
Besides the dates, the difference is typically negligible. You can expect to see some Black Friday deals continue or change a bit through Cyber Monday, and sometimes, other products on websites get discounted on the Monday after, too. However, beware: Not all Black Friday deals transfer over. If you absolutely need a deal you see on Black Friday, it might be a good idea to snag it while you know it's there.
When is Black Friday 2025?
The next Black Friday is Friday November 28 2025, it follows Thanksgiving on Thursday November 27.
When is Cyber Monday 2025?
The next Cyber Monday is Monday December 1 2025, it follows Thanksgiving on Thursday November 27 and Black Friday on Friday November 28 2025.
