What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is the term used to describe the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States.
It traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season and has become one of the largest shopping events in Australia.
Top brands like Myer, The Iconic, Amazon and David Jones discount their stock from Black Friday onwards before further reducing prices on Boxing Day.
It’s the perfect time to stock up on presents for Christmas given it’s just shy of two months until December 25.
When is Black Friday?
This year Black Friday falls on November 28 but you can expect Australian retailers to start discounting stock from the end of October.
The Iconic is normally one of the first brands to share its sales so keep an eye out online.
How does Black Friday work?
Black Friday is traditionally an in-store shopping experience but in recent years it has switched to online — and for some retailers both — so that no one misses out on the incredible deals.
Some retailers have started their sales before Black Friday and they run until Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Black Friday.
Some brands will give customers a special code they need to input at the checkout to secure the deal while others will just be already discounted to their sale price.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday falls on December 1 this year and is just three days after Black Friday.
It usually signals the close of the big sale season before Boxing Day but depending on the retailer discounts can last right up until mid-December.
