Why is it called Black Friday
Let’s take a history lesson to find out why they call it Black Friday: the first known mention of Black Friday related to this shopping experience was in November 1951, when the journal Factory Management and Maintenance used it to describe people calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving so they could have an extra day off work.
At the same time, US police were using the phrases “Black Friday” and “Black Saturday” to describe the horrendous traffic that occurred at the beginning of the pre-Christmas shopping season.
In 1961, the local government moved to change the shopping season to “Big Friday” and “Big Saturday,” but it never caught on. The notion that it was the time when retailers moved 'back into the black' was seen far later and clearly an attempt to bring positivity to the term.
How much cheaper are things on Black Friday?
I know that many people think Black Friday is a scam, but when you look at a product's price history and compare the deals to other holiday sales, I would say that 90% of products are cheaper on Black Friday.
I will have no issue filling this guide with record-low prices on TVs, Apple devices, kitchen appliances, toys, vacuums, laptops, and smart home devices from brands like Samsung, Dyson, Keurig, LG, Apple, Ninja, and Nespresso.
That is to say, products are significantly cheaper on Black Friday. The only caveat is that items just aren't cheaper on the official Black Friday date, November 29, but you'll find some of the best Black Friday deals at early sales, and our guide will be covering all the top offers in this guide.
