Best Buy Black Friday deals 2024: key information
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday 2024 takes place on Friday, November 29. The actual date shifts, but the day of the week stays the same: it's always the Friday after Thanksgiving.
While that's the official date, Best Buy's Black Friday sale usually kicks off weeks before the November date.
When will Best Buy Black Friday deals start?
Best Buy has yet to announce its 2024 Black Friday sale, but going off past years, we should expect an announcement from the retailer very soon.
Last year, Best Buy was one of the first retailers to launch early Black Friday deals, with promotions going live throughout the month of October. Its official Black Friday sale started on November 17 and continued through Black Friday, allowing consumers to spread out their holiday shopping.
The retailer also had a Black Friday price match guarantee in place starting at its early October sales. The policy stated that if the price of an item goes lower during the Black Friday holiday season, Best Buy will match it.
The best part about Best Buy's early Black Friday deals is the retailer's Black Friday price match guarantee. This means that if the price of an item goes lower during the holiday season, Best Buy will match it.
What Best Buy Black Friday deals can you expect?
Best Buy's Black Friday sale is always a customer favorite, thanks to record-low prices on best-selling tech gadgets. Expect massive savings on TVs, Apple devices, laptops, headphones, smartwatches, and gaming consoles from brands like Samsung, LG, Apple, HP, Dell, and Sony. Best Buy's Black Friday deals also include significant discounts on major appliances, like refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers, as well as small kitchen appliances and vacuums.
TVs are probably the most popular sale category during Best Buy's Black Friday sale. I anticipate record-breaking prices on 2024 OLED TVs, including the top-rated LG C4, the Samsung S90D, and the Sony BRAVIA 8.
Apple devices are another Best Buy Black Friday favorite, thanks to lowest-ever prices on brand-new products, like the Apple Watch 10, the AirPods 4, and the iPhone 16. Best Buy also has some of the best Black Friday deals on MacBooks and iPads, and prices go as low as $199.99 on older models.
Other offers we can expect will be cheap laptops from brands like HP and Lenovo, premium headphones from Sony and Bose, and the latest smartwatches from Samsung, Garmin, and Apple.
If we get lucky, we could also see a first-time discount on the newly released PlayStation 5 Pro console.
