Some of us wait all year for the Black Friday shopping season, our heads filled with the promise of scoring the very best price on a new TV, smart speaker, printer, or other high-tech gadget. And for good reason—this is when we tend to see some of the biggest discounts of the year on virtually everything.
This year, the landscape of the Black Friday season is changing yet again. As concerns about inflation rise, the National Retail Federation has reported that consumers have started shopping for the holidays earlier than ever before in an effort to find savings and avoid possible price hikes caused by inflation. Retailers have risen to meet their needs, starting the deals in early October. And the sales will only continue throughout November and into December.
A holiday shopping trend report from Adobe predicts that the discounts being offered this year will reach record highs. And even though there are plenty of great sales now, the best deals will still come between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. Adobe suggests that Thanksgiving will be the day to shop for most electronics, but that Black Friday will offer up the lowest TV prices. If you’re looking for toys, wait until Saturday. Apparel and sporting goods can be found at their best prices on Sunday, and laptops are expected to be a bargain on Cyber Monday.
