What day is Black Friday this year?

Black Friday - the day that "shopaholics" look forward to the most in the year - is approaching with countless shopping deals, especially on technology and fashion items.

Many housewives are counting the days until “Black Friday” to go shopping.

What day is Black Friday?

Black Friday is a major shopping holiday that takes place on the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States. Despite its name, Black Friday has a very positive connotation and is always anticipated by many people.

According to CNN, Black Friday began in the 1950s in Philadelphia. Bonnie Taylor-Blake, a neuroscience researcher at the University of North Carolina, said that countless "shopaholics" from the suburbs flocked to the city in the days after Thanksgiving.

Along with that, the city organizes discounts, promotes sales and decorates stores before the Army/Navy football game on Saturday. Therefore, on Friday, the streets become bright and full of signs and promotional information from local shop owners.

The reason it is called "Black Friday" is because in the past, stores would use black pens to record profits and red pens to record losses. Therefore, the black color here implies that stores will gain a lot of profit from customers shopping.

This year, Thanksgiving will be on Thursday, November 28. Therefore, Black Friday 2024 will be on Friday, November 29, the first Friday after Thanksgiving.

On this day, in many places around the world, including Vietnam, a series of items in all fields will have signs of true discounts, stimulating people to shop and consume. In particular, high-priced fashion and technology items are often deeply discounted, creating an opportunity for "shopaholics" to get their favorite products.

In the past, Black Friday only took place on one day. However, now, due to the high demand for trade and shopping, many places organize Black Friday discounts with a series of events that last for many days, even weeks.

In Vietnam, Black Friday is also introduced with discount programs, promotions, and shopping incentives 1-2 weeks before and after the official holiday.

Be careful when shopping on Black Friday

Weeks before Black Friday, many large and small chain stores across the country launched many incentive programs and strong discounts to attract customers. Attractive programs including online and offline can easily make consumers indulge in shopping activities without a way out.

Ms. Lan Tran (31 years old, Hanoi) shared: "Because Black Friday has many big promotions, I often spend a lot of money to shop for my family, children and myself. Learning from last year's experience, this year I made a list of items to buy in advance, to avoid buying everything I see cheap, causing a deficit in the family budget."

To avoid falling into the trap of discounted goods, The Real Deal website has given some advice to consumers for shopping on Black Friday such as: do not buy unnecessary items, do not buy at the wrong time, carefully read the partial discount promotions (Up to)...

Consumers should also be wary of fraudulent tricks by sellers such as increasing prices first and reducing prices later (increasing prices higher than market prices and then reducing them deeply to create a sense of benefit for buyers), receiving fake promotional emails and messages, unnecessary promotions, and setting discount hours...

However, Black Friday is still an occasion worth looking forward to for "shopping enthusiasts" who have carefully researched the market and their own needs.
