ZDNET editors have experience tracking prices and hunting down deals 365 days a year. Take a peek at our Deals hub — we know how to find bargains. Our process starts by identifying the hottest and most popular products of the year, whether it’s the AirPods or the latest iPad, and then we conduct a painstaking process that involves checking major retailers and others you may have never heard about (but are still trusted stores).
Once we’ve taken note of where each item is available and for how much, we use price-tracking tools to look at each product’s price history. From there, we can map out whether it’s frequently on sale or has hit an all-time low. Anything that isn’t at least 20% off doesn’t make the cut*, and of course, we don’t even consider things that have had their prices hiked up in recent weeks only to be lowered for Black Friday. We’re not noobs.
We’ve shopped online just as much as you, but we’re experts at finding tech deals actually worth buying, which saves you time shopping so you can get back to enjoying the holidays with friends and family.
* Except for Apple products and other devices that seldom go on sale.
Black Friday takes place every year on the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday 2022 falls on Friday, Nov. 25. But, honestly, Black Friday is no longer just a 24-hour event. It’s morphed into weeks of early-bird deals, doorbusters, and even early sales that start in October.
And don’t forget there’s Cyber Monday!
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are synonymous with big sales that kick off the holiday shopping season. While Black Friday deals started in October this year and can include brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers, Cyber Monday sales are primarily online and can extend Black Friday an entire week — ultimately turning into Cyber Week. Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving, so this year it falls on Nov. 28.
