Black Friday 2024: Traditionally occurring the day following Thanksgiving, Black Friday has emerged as one of the year's most anticipated shopping occasions, marking the start of the holiday shopping season. Black Friday takes place on November 29 this year. This occasion began as a one-day sales event centred on post-Thanksgiving shopping in the US and since then has grown to become a worldwide retail phenomenon. 

On Black Friday, there are doorbuster specials in actual establishments and instantaneous online deals to commemorate the festival. Black Friday offers consumers the chance to get the best value for their money with discounts on everything from the newest digital devices to home items, clothing and more. 

Black Friday 2024: History

The term 'Black Friday' was first coined in the 1960s by the Philadelphia Police Department to describe the chaotic traffic and crowded shopping districts that followed Thanksgiving Day, as shoppers descended on stores for holiday bargains. Over time, retailers adopted the term in a positive light, with Black Friday referring to the shift from operating 'in the red' (a financial loss) to 'in the black' (a profit) as a result of the high volume of sales. 

Black Friday Sales And Discounts

Black Friday promises some exciting deals across a wide range of categories, from the latest electronics to home essentials. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy are expected to offer discounts on hot-ticket items such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and gaming consoles.

Apple and Samsung often have some of their biggest sales of the year on their flagship devices such as the iPhone and Galaxy smartphones. These discounts can be as high as 40% or more, making it the ideal time to upgrade your tech.

Clothing, shoes and accessories are also a major focus during Black Friday, with high-demand brands like Nike, Adidas, Levi’s and The North Face offering substantial price cuts on apparel and footwear. Beauty lovers will also find promotions on products from leading cosmetics brands such as Estee Lauder, Clinique and L’Oréal, with special bundles and exclusive sets available.
