Get ready to save big this year! 🛍️
Mark your calendars for Black Friday 2023, happening on November 24 at midnight! Don't worry, the discounts aren't limited to just one day. You can find tons of deals all week long and even during the weekend, especially between November 27 and the start of Cyber Week.
The Bargain Days Breakdown
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are not just American phenomena; they've become a global tradition filled with special offers in both online and physical stores.
Black Week, coined from the American tradition, officially begins on November 20, as many retailers already offer big discounts before Thanksgiving.
Cyber Monday, originating in 2005, is the online extension of Black Week that takes place on the Monday after Black Friday. In Europe, Cyber Monday has since expanded to incorporate the entire week.
Black Week vs. Cyber Week: Which is Better?
Back in the 1960s, Black Friday was primarily an in-store event for Americans to buy their Christmas presents. Black Week has since expanded, embracing both online and physical stores, offering great price advantages.
Cyber Monday reshaped the consumer bargain landscape, with stores offering online discounts during the week.
So, whether you're an online or in-store shopper, the weeks of savings are the perfect opportunity to find the best deals on products from various categories.
