FAQs
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday is coming tomorrow on November 27, but several retailers are opting for a month-long version of the shopping event this year.
Shoppers can expect thousands of deals to crop up on the days leading up to and following the big sales event, on Cyber Monday, and beyond. However, we still expect the majority of retailers to wait until the big day to drop the very best deals.
Can I shop in-store on Black Friday?
Generally speaking, yes. For most retailers, stores will be open during Black Friday but it will certainly look different from previous years. Stores will limit the number of shoppers allowed in the store at any given time, plus require face masks while indoors. Check with the retailer's website before you head out.
Which is better, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
This year, the lines dividing Black Friday and Cyber Monday are mostly blurred. In fact, most stores will incentivize online shopping more by offering deals earlier for online shoppers.
Of course, shopping during Black Friday month can be overwhelming. To help, we're curating the best deals we find all month long.
What should you buy on Black Friday?
Black Friday is an excellent opportunity to buy — and save on gifts — before the last-minute rush.
Shoppers can expect tons of great deals online way in advance and the days following the big event. Historically speaking, prices tend to drop to all-time lows, often beating out the markdowns seen over the course of the year. The sale covers every product category: tech, home and kitchen, fashion, and smart home.

All the major retailers are offering extended return policies and making it simple to make a return, whether it's something you purchased or received as a gift. Check out our guide on how to make a return.
