When is Black Friday?
This year, Black Friday was Nov. 28. It always lands on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November. There are hundreds of price cuts and sizable sales from the biggest online retailers still running.
What should I look for in a Black Friday deal under $25?
Pay special attention to a product’s brand or manufacturer. During major shopping events like Cyber Monday and Black Friday, many retailers — especially Amazon and Walmart — are flooded with cheap knock-offs and outlandish offers from sketchy third-party vendors. Look for popular and trusted name brands, and ensure that your order is being fulfilled by an official retailer or the manufacturer directly. This information is usually found beneath the product name or the “add to cart” button.
Will tariffs interfere with Black Friday deals?
President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” have plenty of us feeling antsy about prices. According to a recent CNET survey, 64% of shoppers said they’ve bought or plan to buy a tech product soon to avoid price increases or shortages. But Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff in April, plus additional tariffs on Chinese goods and a 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. That means you’ll likely see higher prices on many things soon.
