AUSSIES DON’T CELEBRATE Thanksgiving – unless they’re a particularly patriotic American expat or an easily influenced cultural sponge – so the whole idea of jumping on the bandwagon the day after for Black Friday sales might seem a bit nonsensical. But, once you understand that the scope of the savings on offer, things become a little clearer.
For those that participate, Black Friday will take place on November 28th this year. But of course, the sales period is not limited to the day itself. Some sales have already begun, most will run right up until Christmas, and then there’s the second biggest sales day of the season, Cyber Monday, on December 1st.
All of this makes for the perfect opportunity to do some Christmas shopping early, treat yourself to some nice retail therapy, or save big on essentials. Countless brands are taking part in the festivities this year, with sales varying from minor to massive. There are opportunities to give your wardrobe an update, cash in on the latest fitness gear and upgrade to new tech, to say nothing of the innumerable impulse buy options.
To help you navigate this year’s Black Friday sales, we’ve rounded up some of the best deals we’ve found across all the major brands.
