This year, it 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.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?ZDNET 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'll be able to shop Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals at nearly every major retailer, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and more. Plus, you'll likely be able to grab savings even earlier thanks to staggering sales throughout the month of November, too. How long do Black Friday deals last?Black Friday deals have been ongoing all month long retailer to retailer, and with Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're expecting most stores both big and small to offer some type of seasonal savings at least through the end of Cyber Week on Dec. 2. This certainly won't be your last time to save this year or even before Christmas and other winter holidays, but it is likely one of the last major sale events of the year that includes thousands of retailers worldwide.What time do retailers open on Black Friday?While it's likely that some retailers may offer extended hours to accomodate in-store Black Friday shopping, don't make that blanket assumption for everywhere. Be sure to check out your specific local retailers hours, as some companies note slight differences store to store. Check out more detailed information, including sale dates and times, general store hours, and more in our Black Friday 2024 shopping guide.What are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?ZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category.
