What is Black Friday 2021?
Last year showed that things don't have to stay the same way just because they have been this way for a while. Amazon's Prime Day was traditionally held in the summer, but it got pushed. Black Friday was a mix of Prime Day, other retailers' sales, and all the stuff that covered several weeks. It looks like things are back to normal this year.
Black Friday falls on the Friday following Thanksgiving, so it would be November 26th this year. You can shop at your favorite stores on the day if you plan on shopping in-store, which will be possible in 2021. Some shops prefer to open on Thanksgiving while others say "No, Thanksgiving's for families." Many are simply turning to online sales. Although it is still unclear how store hours will look, it should come as no surprise that Black Friday shopping has become more popular online.
Amazon has already started a ramp-up to Black Friday by launching its epic daily deals page. It has seen some huge sales on Apple, Sony, Samsung and Bose products. Walmart announced three sales that will begin in November and end with a massive Black Friday sale. Target, Best Buy, Newegg, and other retailers have already announced deals and put in place 'Black Friday Price Protection Promises' to encourage shoppers to shop early. The huge shift to online shopping last year caused many problems, including shipping delays. It's not surprising that retailers are trying to spread their reach when customers shop online.
Black Friday Sales at Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart and More
Yes, Black Friday falls on November 26. You shouldn't wait until then to shop. Deals are being made by retailers early. It's early, early, and early. Some sales are already over! If you are worried about missing out on a lower price later because of buying now, keep in mind the "Black Friday Price Protection Promises" I mentioned earlier. These retailers have stated that if the price falls further, you can still get the difference if you purchase now. The deals are amazing, but it won't happen.
Target, Newegg and Best Buy are just a few of the major retailers that offer Price Protection. Amazon doesn't have one, but they are usually very good about it.
These are just a few of the Black Friday-like deals available:
This year's game plan seems to be about spreading the deals, which is a big difference from years past. Retailers want to encourage you to shop early and often in order for them not have the same problems last year.
What Black Friday deals can we expect in 2021?
We now have a list of the largest retailers' ads and can begin to make educated guesses about which products will be most popular in the coming weeks.
Amazon, like most retailers, places a lot of emphasis on Amazon device deals. Amazon devices include Fire TV sticks, Echo lines, Kindles and Ring gear. These are often discounted to Prime Day prices in most cases. Black Friday 4K TV deals will be a major focus, as well as toys, appliances, and other home appliances. Black Friday is a great time to get these devices at historic low prices. The best Black Friday deals tend to be around these items.
We're seeing more than the usual suspects: TCL Roku TVs and Sonos speakers, Beats products and many other electronics are on sale.
What hours are Black Friday in stores?
Some retailers do not provide the information that we need, such as hours of operation. Many of them closed last year and focused more on online shopping. This is still our opinion. Target and Best Buy, which are confirmed to be closing on Thanksgiving, will still offer Black Friday discounts online.
Depending on where you live or where you shop, there might be precautions at certain locations. You shouldn't be surprised to find that the crowds are more socially distant than the panicked mob mentality seen on Black Fridays in the past. In case of emergency, you might want to bring a mask.
Let's be real, shopping in stores is about more than just the savings. The experience will be much less this year than it was last year. There won't be much that you can't find at home. You can compare prices at home so you will probably save even more.
Are Black Friday deals available online?
This is the best way to shop! Black Friday deals will be available online in some cases. Online shopping is great because you can compare the product to other retailers. You can also see what your order looks like, so you don’t have to buy impulse items.
Many retailers that have had early Black Friday sales are trying to replicate that experience with online doorbusters that can be updated daily or weekly. Walmart will have three sales that focus on different products. These sales may also include limited-time specials. Keep your eyes peeled for additional online specials and incentives that will keep you focused on the web.
