Black Friday 2021 has officially passed, leaving us with some incredible offers we can't wait to see again next year. While Black Friday deals this year started to show up way earlier than expected, it was a great opportunity for smart shoppers to get in on the action early. We expect a similar setup come Black Friday 2022, but just what went down this year and what can you expect to see next year?
Thanks to a myriad of reasons, Black Friday sales popped up early in 2021 mainly due to concerns of shipping delays and stock shortages – and for good reason. If you missed out on Prime Day this year, then Black Friday and Cyber Monday were the holidays to shop for Christmas gifts alongside millions of other shoppers. While the best deals and offers showed up Friday, November 26, shoppers were able to find Black Friday deals as early as October 1st!
So just when is Black Friday 2022 and what kind of deals can you expect to see? We've recapped it all right here for all of you smart shoppers, giving you a heads up on what to expect come next year and how to start preparing. You'll find the T3's favorite Black Friday deals this year below, along with all the info you'll need to prepare for the biggest shopping day of the year next time it comes around.
When is Black Friday 2022?
Black Friday 2022 takes place on Friday, 25 November 2022 and then Cyber Monday follows it on Monday, 28 November. Expect the Black Friday sales to begin around two weeks ahead of Black Friday 2022, so from Friday 11 November.
Below are the best deals of Black Friday 2021. Note that many of these items are no longer at their reduced prices but some are, so if there's anything you like the look at you might want to click through on the off-chance. Good luck!
