What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is one of the best days of the year!

It is a massive sales event that most major retailers across Australia participate in, offering some of the biggest discounts and deals of the entire year. Black Friday sales happen both in-store and online, so if you don’t do well in stressful situations or crazy crowds, you can shop the best deals from the comfort of your own home. 

What day is Black Friday?

Black Friday happens every year on the last Friday of November.

This year, the official day of Black Friday is November 24 2023.

When does Black Friday start?

If they haven’t already kicked off their sales, most retailers will gear into action as soon as the clock strikes midnight on November 24.

Other retailers won’t start their deals until 9am, when their physical stores open.

Despite the official Black Friday sales being on November 24, it’s best to keep an eye out for deals starting a week or so earlier. However, the best deals, in past years, have proven to be best over the four-day Black Friday weekend which includes Cyber Monday on November 27. 

When does Black Friday end?

Much like the start, it’s hard to perfectly anticipate the end date of the Black Friday sales. The best way to look at it is the best deals will be across November 24 to November 27, but if you keep an eye out beforehand, chances are you’ll be able to get an early bargain.

If you are still looking for a deal after the main shopping period, most retailers will continue their Black Friday sales for about a week after.
