Black Friday FAQ
When do Black Friday sales start?
Black Friday is November 24th, the day after Thanksgiving, but many retailers launch their shopping events as early as late October or the first week of November. As such, we're keeping track of all the best offers early so you don't have to wait to find the best discounts on tech.
Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?
It depends on the deal. If you come across a record low price today, you may want to go ahead and jump at the opportunity, as it's unlikely that the price will drop even further once Black Friday hits. Of course, we'll let you know in our deal guides if we think you should go ahead and buy or wait for future discounts.
