Black Friday is almost here, and if you’re gearing up to shop on Amazon, here’s the scoop on this year’s event. Black Friday 2024 officially falls on November 29th, the day after Thanksgiving, but Amazon is known to start its deals early. In fact, Amazon will likely begin rolling out discounts as early as mid-November, with the best offers peaking closer to Black Friday and continuing through Cyber Monday on December 2nd.

What to expect in Amazon’s Black Friday sale

Amazon’s Black Friday deals will cover nearly every category imaginable, from electronics and smart home gear to kitchen gadgets, toys, and fashion. Tech lovers can look forward to discounts on Amazon’s own products like Echo smart speakers, Fire tablets, and Ring cameras, which typically go on sale early. Other popular deals might include price cuts on Apple AirPods, iRobot vacuums, and high-demand holiday gifts like LED TVs, LEGO sets, and popular beauty items.

Getting the most out of Black Friday with Prime membership

If you’re a Prime member, you’ll get access to exclusive deals and early access to some of the best sales. Amazon is also offering options for discounted Prime memberships, including a student rate and reduced pricing for those on qualifying government assistance, making it easier for more shoppers to enjoy perks like free shipping on millions of items and access to Prime Video, music, and book streaming services.
