It’s named after a financial crisis that cratered the U.S. gold market and brought ruin to investors, but over time, it has become a shopping holiday where Americans can find deals and stock up on plastic tubs to put all their belongings in.
Yes, it is Black Friday and, because we are in the future, Cyber Monday, its online twin.
Black Friday is back on Nov. 28, and although we no longer stand outside big-box retailers in the freezing cold for a $50 doorbuster (for the most part), deals are starting earlier. There are still major savings to be had in 2025.
So, let’s get out there California and do our part to bolster the national economy. Consumer spending over the holiday season is expected to surpass the $1 trillion mark for the first time ever, according to the National Retail Federation, as Americans far and wide say, “What tariffs?” and hit the sales.
When is Black Friday 2025?
