WATCH: How to maximize holiday shopping savings
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the year's biggest shopping days, and we're here to help you create a winning plan for the 2024 holiday season.
Thanksgiving is later than usual this year, falling on Nov. 28, which means there are fewer shipping and shopping days between Turkey Day and Christmas.
Hanukkah, which begins Dec. 25, also starts later this year, but the time to start building your gift lists is now!
Fall sales 2024: Walmart, Old Navy, Kohl's and more
Retailers are expected to roll out early Black Friday deals soon, so keep an eye out for upcoming sales announcements of what's predicted to be another huge post-Thanksgiving shopping season.
For example, Wayfair already has a Black Friday Preview sale in place where you'll save up to 70% on furniture and decor for every room.
Viral clothing brand Popilush has an entire section of early Black Friday discounts on its smoothing, stylish pieces, while NYDJ is running a 20% off sitewide sale when you use code MOREDENIM on holiday-ready wardrobe staples.
Target has also jumped on the early deals bandwagon and will run a three-day sale from Nov. 7-9, while Walmart will drop pre-Black Friday sales from Nov. 11-17 and offer up to 70% off across categories.
Find more key information below, and be sure to check back regularly as we get closer to the big events.
When is Black Friday this year?
Black Friday falls on Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2. The online-only shopping event happens just a few days after Black Friday, and it's known for offering some of the best deals of the season, especially in categories like electronics, fashion and home goods.
What should I shop for on Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is strictly an online shopping event. Black Friday and the days surrounding it typically offer the best deals on electronics, small appliances and one-off purchases like big-ticket home items.
If you're tackling your holiday shopping list, either day will offer major savings.
However, Cyber Monday might be more convenient if you're looking to avoid in-store crowds and shop from home. Amazon will likely be a popular destination for Cyber Monday sales, just as it has been in the past.
When are stores open after Thanksgiving?
Walmart will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2024 for the fifth consecutive year. Other major retailers are also expected to be closed.
Check store hours for Black Friday openings or shop online if you prefer to avoid the in-store crowds.
