Black Friday dates

As usual, Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving: November 24, 2023, with Cyber Monday following the week after on November 27. As we mentioned above, some sales will start a little earlier this year – including at Walmart, Target and Khol's  – so watch out for their deals coming online in the days (and even weeks) beforehand.

Black Friday: What to Buy and What to Expect in 2023

In short, you should stick with those items that have come to be known as Black Friday staples: home goods, clothing, makeup, video games and consoles, and electronics. And what kind of savings should you expect? Huge, frankly, with up to 60% off at hundreds of stores!

Where to Go for Black Friday Apple Sales

Apple doesn’t have its own Black Friday sale, although they often offer store credit when you purchase at its store on Black Friday – last year that was worth $200. If that’s not what you’re looking for, though, then plenty of retailers do offer Black Friday discounts on Apple products, such as: 

• Best Buy 

• Walmart

• AT&T Wireless

• Verizon Wireless

Usually, the best places to go are Walmart, which heavily discounts various Apple Watch models, and Best Buy, where you can find great discounts and amazing plans on iPhone 12, 13, and 14 models.

Black Friday’s Best Electronics Sales

Electronics are another Black Friday staple. With manufacturers preparing to bring out their latest models in the run-up to Christmas, retailers usually try to clear out the last (but still really top-of-the-line) of their inventory at bargain prices during the Black Friday sales event.

In terms of where to go, you’re looking at three key stores: Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. Here are some of their best Black Friday deals that have already been announced:

• Best Buy: get up to $800 off of select big-screen TVs 

• Walmart: where you can find up to 30% off tech

• Target: which is offering up to 50% off select headphones for Black Friday 2023

Finding the Best Black Friday Home Appliances and Tools Sales

If you’re looking to spruce up your home in the run-up to Christmas – or to make the Christmas cooking a little easier with some new kitchen appliances – the Black Friday sales are the time to do so. If you’re not sure where to shop, then let us give you some tips: the top three places to go are Lowe’s, ABT, and Home Depot.

Black Friday 2023’s Top Gaming Console Sales

2023 is a big year for game consoles. Not only is the PS5 hitting stores more frequently, but also tons of deals on PS5 and XBOX video games and accessories. That means that Black Friday will likely be the ideal opportunity to pick up PS4 and Xbox One consoles for less as retailers make way for the new releases.

The best places to look are eBay, Walmart, and Target. Having said that, if you’re looking for deals on the Nintendo Switch, you’re likely to strike gold! With the release of the most recent Switch model last year, the console’s popularity has exploded, so retailers are willing to cut prices on the original model and Switch Lite and offer savings of up to 75% on select games. 

Where to Go for the Best Black Friday Clothing and Makeup Sales

The final staples of the Black Friday sales are clothes and makeup. If previous years are anything to go by, you should have no problem finding killer deals on new outfits and makeup during the holiday season. Which are the best places to buy? Well, for us, there are four main choices: JCPenney, North Face, Ulta, and Macy's.

• At Ulta, you should be able to count on at least 50% off everything every Thursday through Saturday and free shipping if you spend more than $35 online.

• JCPenney is majorly cutting prices for this year's Black Friday sale. You can find women's boots starting at just $29.99 and tops and joggers for just $14.99! 

• If you need some heavy-duty winter clothes, then North Face is a great call – last year, they took up to $300 off parka jackets;

• Macy's, where you can find women's sweaters starting at $29.99, and men's hats, gloves, and scarves for 70% off.
