When is Black Friday 2024?
The Amazon Black Friday sale kicked off early on November 19 and continues through to Cyber Monday on December 2. Just remember, the best offers usually disappear once items sell out!
What are the biggest sale days of the year?
Australia’s shopping calendar is marked by several key sale days that savvy shoppers look forward to. Boxing Day on December 26 is a classic, offering generous discounts across a wide range of products.
Black Friday, which has gained traction in late November, brings exciting sales from various retailers, making it a great time to stock up on holiday gifts. Following that is Cyber Monday, the online shopping extravaganza that happens the Monday after Black Friday, perfect for scoring deals from the comfort of your home. The four days that make up Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now considered by many to be the biggest single sales event in Australia, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) even saying “the popularity of Black Friday events is affecting spending patterns in the lead up to Christmas.”
Beyond these sales, there are also the End of Financial Year Sales, where retailers clear out stock for the new financial year, providing fantastic opportunities to save around June each year.
There are also brand-specific sales. Afterpay Day, held in March and August, has seasonal promotions that shouldn’t be missed, while Amazon Prime Day has exclusive deals for Prime members – an excellent opportunity to shop everything from tech to home essentials and more.
4 tips to make the most of Amazon’s Black Friday deals
- Prepare all the items you want or need. With the Amazon Black Friday sale now live, it’s time to get organised. Create a wishlist of items you want or need and then add to them to your cart. This way, you’ll be able to grab the best deals on things you actually want, rather than giving in to impulse buys.
- Do research early. If you’re eyeing a specific item – like a new hair straightener or cookware set – take time to check out different models, features and reviews before the sales get too hectic. With a bit of prep, you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for and can jump on the best deals ASAP.
- Check and update your Amazon details. Speed up your checkout process by logging into your Amazon account and ensuring your address and payment methods are up-to-date. The faster you can check out, the better your chances of nabbing limited-time offers.
- Consider trying Prime. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, new members can get a free 30-day trial, which unlocks free shipping benefits on eligible orders, early access to some deals, Prime Video access and more. After the trial, Amazon Prime costs $9.99 per month but you can cancel it at any time.
