Black Friday in July 2024: The Best Sales to Shop Now
Move over, November! Black Friday sales have taken over the month of July. Our editors are rounding up the best sales that you can shop right now.
Black Friday used to mean scarfing down your Thanksgiving turkey as quickly as possible to battle department store crowds for the best deals of the year. Times have changed, and Black Friday is no longer limited to the day after Thanksgiving. Not only do “Black Friday” deals now occupy the entire holiday shopping season, they have begun to migrate into the summer months as well.
Year after year, our experts are seeing more and more retailers offering Black Friday in July sales. While many stores use the same "Black Friday" moniker that we're used to seeing in November, we have also seen some stores calling these sales "Summer Cyber Sales".
These sales often rival the prices we see on Black Friday. The summer isn’t typically known for great shopping events, but these Black Friday in July sales are beginning to change that! Check out our guide below for all the best Black Friday in July Sales you can shop this month.
What is Black Friday in July?
Black Friday in July is a recent retail trend that is largely motivated by Amazon’s Prime Day Sale, which just occurred on July 16-17. Amazon offers some of their best discounts during this sale, with some that are even lower than Black Friday. To compete, retailers like Target, Best Buy, Macy’s, and more have begun their own summer sales which many of them call Black Friday in July.
The prices in these sales do tend to rival Black Friday pricing and are some of the best deals we see all year. If you see something you like on sale, we recommend you buy it, because it’s unlikely you’ll find a lower price until November.
