Every year, millions of people around the world eagerly prepare for Black Friday, a day loved by all shopping lovers. It's the time when stores offer their biggest discounts of the year, where you can save on electronics, clothing, cosmetics, furniture and more. But when exactly will Black Friday 2024 be?
Black Friday originates from the United States and traditionally follows the Thanksgiving holiday. Although the celebration of Thanksgiving does not spread beyond America, Black Friday has quickly become a global phenomenon. Stores offer incredible discounts on this day, officially kicking off the Christmas shopping season.
Why exactly "Black" Friday? Many think that the name comes from the chaotic scenes when crowds of people literally rush through the stores during the sales, but this is not the case. The term most likely came from accounting - on this day, traders usually stopped recording losses ("in the red") and switched to profits ("in the black"). Fun fact, right?
What discounts await us on Black Friday 2024?
If you are an electronics lover, this is your day! In years past, the discounts on tech gadgets have been the biggest, with prices also reduced by 30% to 50% on phones, TVs, laptops and more. Fashion lovers will also get their money's worth, as many stores such as Zara, Mango and H&M offer great discounts on clothes and accessories. And let's not forget cosmetics and perfumes, where you can find discounts up to 70% in stores.
And there's more Cyber Monday, which follows Black Friday and is primarily intended for online purchases. If you don't snag your favorite Black Friday deal, don't worry—your second chance comes Monday, 2 December 2024.
And now, the moment of truth: When is Black Friday 2024?
The biggest shopping holiday of the year will fall on November 29, 2024, which means you still have plenty of time to prepare your wish list and shopping strategy. Remember - many stores offer their discounts already a week before the actual Black Friday, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on what's going on beforehand.
How to make the most of the discounts?
- Make a wish list: Check which products you are interested in and track them a few weeks in advance. This way you will know if the discount is really beneficial.
- Subscribe to e-news: Merchants often offer special discount codes or email exclusive offers.
- Compare prices: Don't buy the first product you find - check out several stores and compare their offers.
It's time to save the date and get ready for the most exciting shopping day of the year! Black Friday 2024 promises incredible discounts, so don't miss this opportunity.
