What is Black Friday?
Black Friday was originally a US tradition, but now it’s a big deal in all Western markets around the world. In short, it’s a big sales season for all retailers in all categories, to help clear our stock before the new year.
Meanwhile, Cyber ​​Monday is a recent addition to the Black Friday weekend, which takes place the following Monday (in 2025, that’s Dec. 2), but focuses more on online retailers. As the lines blur between commerce and e-commerce these days, Black Friday/Cyber ​​Monday has become one connected week of deals.
When is Black Friday in 2024?
Black Friday 2024 is officially happening this Friday, Nov. 29, on Cyber ​​Monday on Dec. 2. However, the entire week leading up to it is now officially known as ‘Black Friday Week’, and the first deals start appearing throughout this week and even earlier. Amazon, for example, started its sale on Nov. 19, and runs deals until Dec. 2.
What are the best things to buy on Black Friday/Cyber ​​Monday?
You should expect big discounts on big ticket items like laptops, Hi-Fi, consoles and TVs. There also seems to be a tilt toward gadgets and gift items, which makes sense with the holidays around the corner. Online retailers like Amazon, Kogan and Ebay will have strong deals on all categories. However, keep an eye out for the following products:
Mashable Specials
-
Electronics: Retailers like The Good Guys and Bing Lee are always big on Black Friday, slashing prices on everything they buy. You can expect deals on washing machines, fridges, freezers, kettles, toasters, and much more. If you’re looking to stock up on electronics for your home, these sites should be your first stop.
-
Games are comforting: Getting console availability has been the theme for the last few years, but things are definitely looking up in Australia, with loads of PS5s readily available on Amazon. That means there should be opportunities to pick up deals on games and other items for the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5 this year.
-
Smartphones: Amazon always offers many impressive deals on all types of smartphones.
-
Toys: Black Friday is probably the best time of the year to buy toys. The much-needed toys will sell out quickly before Christmas, so this is a great opportunity to get in early. We recommend checking out Amazon for the best deals on Lego, especially the popular Star Wars and Harry Potter sets.
-
TVs: Black Friday is all about big deals on big products, and that means TVs. We expect all the best retailers to offer great deals on TVs of all sizes from top brands like Sony, Samsung, LG, and Panasonic. It’s best to buy the best TV stuff, because there will be a lot of it, but you can’t go wrong with The Good Guys, Bing Lee or Kogan.
-
VPNs: Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, are a relatively new addition to the Black Friday shopping scene, but there are some great deals to be had, especially on Cyber ​​Monday. Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important, and VPNs provide online security for your identity and data. All the leading services are likely to offer discounted prices during the week, and you should be able to find great deals on the likes of NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, ExpressVPN, PureVPN, and CyberGhost VPN.
Be sure to also look for deals on travel, subscription services, and laptops, as these are likely to feature heavily this shopping season.
