Laying in the abyss of the night, snuggled up in a sleeping bag and a warm coat, you look behind you to see a long line of people with the same goal: get there first. Now commences the craze of Black Friday. This Nov. 29, prepare to shop for the greatest deals imaginable for the holiday season in all stores.

Not a fan of large crowds? Online shopping may be the best alternative on Black Friday. Online shopping has always drawn in customers, but after the Covid-19 pandemic struck the globe, people switched from shopping in-store to online. Online shopping boomed in 2020, making up 16% of total retail sales. Now, 2.71 billion buyers shop online, and the numbers are predicted to increase. With that, many companies have adapted new technologies and user-friendly apps to adjust to society’s new style of shopping this Holiday season! 

Whether you’re planning on staying comfy at home, or braving the busy mall, here’s some of the best deals available:

Electronics:

Purchase a CyberPower PC Desktop for $1,199 and save up to $370.00. Further enhance your setup with a Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor for $229.00 while saving $320.99! 

Apple, one of the most popular retailer companies, rarely holds a sale on Black Friday. However, BestBuy offers discounts for a few of their Apple products. The Macbook Pro 16” laptop has a reduced cost of $1,999.00, saving buyers a grand $400. Customers may also find the iPhone 14 Plus enticing, with its $100 discount and final price of $629.99.
