When does Amazon’s Black Friday sale start?

Amazon’s official Black Friday deals officially start today, Nov. 21, a full week ahead of Thanksgiving Day and the earliest in recent memory our deals team has seen the retailer kick off its holiday savings.

These doorbuster-level deals signal the lowest prices of the year on just about everything. We expect this batch of offers to live through the end of Black Friday, only to get a second life on Cyber Monday, though the best will likely dwindle in supply.

What can we expect from these deals?

As you’ll see from the deals already live, Amazon is taking a broader approach than typical to help you save. That means that if there’s something you’re hoping to shop for yourself or as a gift idea, it’s likely on sale. Whether that’s a big-ticket item like a TV, an upgrade to your arsenal of kitchen countertop appliances or a discount on daily essentials, you’re covered.

For the first time, Amazon will also ring in the holiday shopping season by launching new themed daily deal drops. These timely offers will go live in the week of Nov. 29. You can expect discounts daily deals on electronics, home goods, kitchen appliances and more across top brands like Beats, Sony, Ninja and Yeti.

These deals won’t be limited to Prime members either. While there will likely be some discounts reserved for paid subscribers, you can expect to save across the board without having a membership.

Will Amazon have the best Black Friday deals?

I’ve been covering Black Friday for nearly a decade now. Competition has only heated up over the past few years, and that means Amazon will be doing what it can to undercut prices from other retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart.

It is worth noting that Amazon does not offer price matching. That’s a departure from Best Buy’s strategy, which includes the brand’s Holiday Price Match Guarantee. Still, Amazon’s pricing has been competitive from the go. If past years are any indication, you won’t even need matching because Amazon will deliver the same or better deals than others.

Why trust CNN Underscored?

Quite simply, our goal is to save you money. As senior deals editor, I’ve been doing it for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we’re only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we’re all about.
