What is Black Friday?   

A tradition in the United States since the 1950s, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are – quite simply – the biggest sales weekends of the year. It officially starts the pre-Christmas shopping sales. You can shop everything from home to furniture, and even technology marked down. 

What is Cyber Monday?

As stated before, Cyber Monday falls directly after Black Friday and is the conclusion of the full-four-day shopping event. 

When is Cyber Monday?

This year, Cyber Monday follows Black Friday and is on November 29th, which is also the first day of Hanukkah. 

Why is it called Black Friday?

While all but the most cynical of us see Black Friday as a good thing, the origins of its name have more negative connotations. The term 'Black Friday' was first used way back in 1869 to describe the events of September 24th.

Two American investors, Jay Gould and James Fisk, and financier Abel Corbin, conspired to drive up the price of gold for their own gain. As a result, the US Stock Market lost 20% of its value and a large portion of financial cash. 

From then on, the prefix 'Black' associated itself with the financial crisis.

Then, on October 29, 1929, Black Tuesday marked the official start of the Great Depression, with Black Monday on October 19, 1987, triggering a global recession.

Black Friday described the post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy we now know in the 1950s. It was used by the Philadelphia police department, who were overrun with crowds and traffic heading to the city to snag a bargain.

Is Black Friday the best day to shop?

When it comes to whether or not Black Friday is the best day to shop, it's a yes and no question. Sure, you'll receive markdowns on everything from furniture to toys, but it's followed by Cyber Monday, which is also a great day to score big too. 

While this weekend is better sales-wise compared to others, some might argue that the post-Christmas sales are even better, and in some regard, they are. It's a case-by-case scenario. 

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In recent years, we've spotted everything from mattresses to furniture, and yes, even coffee machines marked down nearly half price.

But as we've already mentioned, some retailers use Black Friday as an opportunity to clear out old stock. Worse still, some even increase the prices of items due to go into the sale days or weeks beforehand so that the discounts they offer seem more impressive on the day.

Buying into older technology clearly has its setbacks in terms of compatibility down the line. But if you don't pride yourself as an early adopter or, for example, are looking for a second or third TV for a kitchen or bedroom, there's no harm in going for a slightly earlier-generation model.

A good approach is to make a list of potential purchases beforehand. Read online reviews and make a careful note of brands, model numbers, colors, styles. Anything that will help you identify your preferred purchase in the heat of the moment.

Then, perhaps the most obvious advice of all is to stick to your list. Compromising on a color scheme, dimensions, or features is a shortcut to buyer's remorse.

Will my Black Friday purchases arrive by Christmas?

The short answer: read the fine print. Retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Target offer everything from two-day to overnight shipping. Still, but due to the high demand for orders, you never know. It's better to always air on the side of caution and double, if not triple check.
