The holiday shopping season starts earlier each year, but nearly 60% of consumers don’t plan to start their holiday shopping until November or December, according to Gallup.
If you’re among the shoppers just getting started—or if you haven’t finished shopping for all the gifts on your list—there are plenty of opportunities this month to save on holiday gifts or items you need for yourself. . You’ll see several discounts over Veterans Day weekend, but the biggest sales will appear on or around Black Friday, which falls on November 24 this year. Cyber Monday is November 27. Although Black Friday used to be a one-day event, many stores now launch their Black Friday sales days or even weeks before then.
“Because Black Friday now spans the entire month of November, the best way to approach shopping is to know what you want to buy ahead of time and determine your budget,” says Julie Ramhold, senior staff writer and consumer analyst at DealNews. . “So when you see a deal, whether it’s the first week of November or the last week of the month, you’ll know if it’s worth buying.”
Let’s look at some of the categories where experts say you’ll find items on sale this time of year. We also include where to shop and how much you could save.
Highest value technology items
On Black Friday, you’ll find the best prices of the year on big-ticket tech devices like TVs, gaming systems, and computers. Big box stores offer super sales on electronics to attract customers to their physical locations or to their websites, where they can make additional purchases. However, it is important to pay close attention to the model information on the devices.
“Usually the biggest discounts are on older models, and that might not be exactly what you’re looking for, so be sure to find out what’s being discounted,” says Kimberly Palmer, spokesperson for personal finance website Nerdwallet. .
Where to find deals: Best Buy, Target, Walmart
