When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023?
Black Friday will be starting Friday, November 24 and sales usually run through to Monday, November 27. However many brands have already begun to release their deals and some will be extending beyond Cyber Monday, so there are plenty of chances to shop and save.
1How does this compare to other sales like Click Frenzy or EOFY?
Black Friday once started as an America-focused sales experience but has since expanded to Australia, which means many homegrown and international brands take part in the sales as opposed to more localised sales events.
Black Friday sales are known to be some of the biggest, so make sure to grab those real wishlist items quick to ensure you don’t miss out.
