Shop Targets early Black Friday sale and get a jump on gift season
Target just launched its Black Friday sale. Shop the early deals leading up to the big day.
UPDATE: Nov. 22, 2024, 12:07 p.m. EST Target's holiday deals are officially live. We're tracking the sale as products come in and out of stock. These are the latest deals.
This year, if you want to get your holiday shopping done by Thanksgiving, it's certainly possible. With Black Friday falling at the very end of this month, it's no surprise that retailers are starting sales way earlier. This week, Target joined Amazon and Best Buy in launching a monthlong sale.
The deals are just about as good as it gets. We're seeing discounts across categories including headphones, TVs, robot vacuums. Ahead of Black Friday, start shopping these deals on Apple, Bose, Ninja, and more.
When does Target's Black Friday sale start?
While Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 29, Target kicked off their Black Friday sale early in the month. The company's official Black Friday ran Nov. 7 to 9, a 48-hour mad dash of deals to kickstart your holiday shopping. While that sale has technically ended, many of the products are still marked down as Target announced deals running all the way through Dec. 24.
Plus, the retailer is offering a holiday season price match. If you purchase an item at Target and it goes on sale leading up to Dec. 24, the brand will refund you the difference. It's also price-matching competitors' pricing within 14 days of your purchase.
What are Target's Black Friday hours?
Unlike Amazon, which operates entirely online, you can shop Target deals online and in-stores. If you're looking forward to shopping in-person this season, Target is a great place to do just that.
Target stores will be opening at 6 a.m. local time on Nov. 29, for those looking forward to joining the crowds.

Best headphones deal
Why we like it
While our very favorite Sony headphones are the Sony WH-1000XM5s, their predecessor, the Sony WH-1000XM4s are also fantastic. Plus, they're $100 cheaper.
They're phenomenal headphones with active noise cancellation that truly tune out the world. If you like to crank up the volume, these are headphones for you because the audio quality is just so good. Plus, unlike the XM5s, the XM4s fold up for easy storage and toting around.
