What is Black Friday?
Black Friday — is the biggest sales day of the year, which traditionally follows Thanksgiving Day in the USA. It is the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season, when retailers offer the biggest discounts.
The name comes from an old accounting practice: losses were recorded in red ink, and profits – in black. On this day, stores moved "into the black" thanks to the huge influx of shoppers. For you, this is a unique opportunity to buy branded goods from the USA at prices that do not occur at any other time of the year. Discounts can reach 70-80%.
When Black Friday Is in 2025 and How Long the Sale Lasts
The official date of Black Friday in 2025 is November 28.
However, it is important to remember: many American online stores start their sales in advance. The peak discounts last for an entire week, which also includes Cyber Monday.
· Beginning of November: "Early" promotions (Early Black Friday Deals).
· Sale week (24-30 November): Main discounts.
· Thanksgiving Day (27 November): Major online stores, such as Amazon, often launch their best deals on Thursday evening.
· Black Friday (28 November): Peak of the sales.
· Cyber Monday (1 December): Continuation of the sales with a focus on electronics.
