It’s that time of year again. North Americans are about to start carving turkeys, and shoppers around the world (including here in Australia) are about to take advantage of what has now become a global phenomenon: Black Friday sales.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday was originally an American tradition, but has become increasingly important in Australia in recent years.

Since the 1950s, stores across the United States have offered deep discounts on their stock the day after Thanksgiving, and people often get ahead of all their holiday shopping that weekend. This tradition has gone global over the past decade, and now Black Friday is a global shopping event.

Cyber ​​Monday is a recent addition to the holiday weekend, as online retailers have sought to offer their own take on the goodness of Black Friday. But as the lines between commerce and e-commerce blur these days, Black Friday/Cyber ​​Monday has become a week of connected deals.

When is Black Friday in 2022?

black friday 2022 technically takes place on Friday, November 25 and Cyber ​​Monday takes place on Monday, November 28. Even earlier. Amazon, for example, launched its sale on Nov. 21 and is running deals through Nov. 30.

What are the best items to buy on Black Friday/Cyber ​​Monday?

You should expect huge discounts on big ticket items like laptops, Hi-Fi, consoles and TVs. There also seems to be a trend towards gadgets and freebies, which makes sense with the holidays approaching. Online retailers like Amazon(opens in a new tab), Kogan and eBay will have strong offerings in all categories. However, keep an eye out for the following products:

• Appliances: Retailers love good guys and Bing Lee always big on Black Friday, dropping prices on just about everything they stock. You can expect deals on washing machines, fridges, freezers, kettles, toasters and more. If you’re looking to source appliances for your home, these sites should be your first stop.

• Game consoles: Finding console availability has been a total for the past two years, but things are definitely looking up in Australia, with PS5 bundles being readily available on Amazon(opens in a new tab). That means there should be opportunities to pick up game and accessory deals for the Xbox series X, Xbox series Sand PS5 This year.

• Smartphones: Amazon always has plenty of awesome deals on all kinds of smartphones.

• Toys: Black Friday is probably the best time of the year to buy toys. The most in-demand toys will sell out quickly as Christmas approaches, so this is a great opportunity to arrive early. We recommend checking out Amazon for the best deals on Lego, especially the hugely popular Star Wars and Harry Potter sets.

• televisions: Black Friday is all about big deals on the biggest products, i.e. televisions. We expect almost all major retailers to offer fantastic deals on TVs of all sizes from top brands like Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic. It’s best to shop around for the best TV deals because there will be so many, but you can’t go wrong with The Good Guys, Bing Lee or Kogan.

• VPNs: virtual private networks, or vpn, are a relatively new addition to the Black Friday shopping scene, but there are some great deals available, especially through Cyber ​​Monday. Cybersecurity is increasingly important, and VPNs provide online protection for your identity and data. All the major services are likely to offer discounted rates during the week, and you should be able to find great deals like NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, ExpressVPN, PureVPN, and CyberGhost VPN.

Also, be sure to be on the lookout for deals on travel, subscription services and laptops, as these are likely to feature prominently throughout this shopping season.
