Later on, online retailers launched Cyber Monday as a digital version of the free-for-all, with an eventual melding of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to first take over the whole Thanksgiving weekend, then eventually the entire month of November. Recently, deals sometimes even started in October.
This year's a bit more quiet, though—which puts even more emphasis on knowing the best time to buy. Jump too soon, and you'll pay more than you need. Hold out too long, and you might miss the top sale items. Not to worry, though. If you follow our tips below, deal hunting should be simpler and easier.
When is Black Friday this year?
Black Friday is always the fourth Friday of November—the day after Thanksgiving. For 2024, that comes at the very end of the month, on November 29. Cyber Monday will follow on December 2. However, stores don't limit themselves to just these calendar dates anymore. You can already start discount shopping now.

Musk left the organization in 2018 before Microsoft invested the first billion in OpenAI. Since then, Microsoft has invested $13 billion in the generative AI firm, and OpenAI has taken steps to complete its transformation
