Updated : July 2026

Dates to remember
- Black Friday: Friday, November 27, 2026.
- Cyber Monday: Monday, November 30, 2026 (more tech and computing).
- Many retailers launch a "Black Week" from the Monday before.
What actually drops
Black Friday is strong on tech: TVs, headphones, smartwatches, small appliances, Amazon products. But not everything is a deal: many "-50%" are just prices back to their usual level.
Avoiding the traps
The most common move: inflate the price a few weeks earlier, then show a big fake rebate. Our fake Black Friday discounts guide details the anti-scam reflexes. Basic rule: always check the price history.
The winning strategy
- Build your list in October and note each product's usual price.
- Watch for suspicious hikes in the preceding weeks.
- Buy only if the price hits its all-time low.
