The holidays can get chaotic, and with so much to do with cleaning, baking, working and wrapping, it’s hard to keep up.
That’s why we’ve been hunting for the best deals to help you tackle the mess without hiring a cleaning service or employing a family member who likes to complain.
RELATED: A straight-up steal: Save $290 on the Dyson Airstrait refurbished at Walmart
The highly coveted Shark IQ Robot Vacuum is over 50% off, saving $251.99! Skip the crowded Thanksgiving or Black Friday stores and add this to your cart.
Walmart’s Black Friday deals have already started, offering the lowest prices around. No membership is required to save (unlike other major stores), and these products ship just as fast.
Best of all? It self-empties after cleaning, making it a total game-changer. That convenience alone makes it worth every penny.
More than 500 of these vacuums were purchased yesterday alone, and with stock running low, they may sell out before Friday. So don’t wait and grab this smart vacuum.
Pros:
Cons:
This vacuum holds 60 days’ worth of dirt and debris. It self-empties into a bagless base and features powerful suction with a multi-surface brush roll to help pick up pet hair (or yours, but we’ll blame it on the dog).
More importantly, you can create a precise home map in the Shark Clean app and set a cleaning schedule, so you never have to think about cleaning the floors again. It detects objects in its path and works around Fido sleeping in the middle of the floor. Once it’s finished, the robot returns to its base to recharge.
Walmart black friday ad 2024
Thanksgiving is late this year, falling on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
This year, Black Friday and its much-anticipated sales will occur on Friday, November 29, 2024.
We recommend shopping early for items that are likely to sell out, such as perennial gift favorites like Xbox, Ugg boots, PS5, Apple AirPods, the editor-approved Dyson AirWrap and more.
Yes! Most stores and big box retailers continue to hold traditional in-store Black Friday sales but also match discounts for online shoppers. According to the National Retail Federation, Black Friday has topped Cyber Monday as the busiest day of the calendar year for online shopping since 2019.
The earliest usage of “Black Friday” as we know it dates back to the 1950s or ’60s, with “black” nodding to dreaded traffic jams caused by shoppers crowding downtown retail stores, as well as understaffed sales associates. Retailers attempted to rename the day “Big Friday” to signify a day of family fun and shopping. Although the rebrand didn’t stick, the positive connotation did. Retail businesses enjoy increased sales, and consumers enjoy corresponding holiday shopping discounts.
Despite being a great day for retailers, Black Friday still draws on the dark side of American consumerism, as many will remember violent crowds competing for limited merchandise. However, with the advent of internet shopping, retailers and e-tailers have continued to see record-breaking sales in recent years, without the morbid mob mentality kicking off the holiday season.
This year, the online shopping holiday Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, December 2, 2024.
The short answer is, it depends. Some retailers approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently, discounting various brands and products throughout the days after Thanksgiving, sometimes at different price points.
Traditionally, Cyber Monday offers retailers an opportunity to drop deeper discounts on already on-sale products. However, consumers should take caution: waiting for Cyber Monday is a risk that products, or certain sizes or models, may sell out.
Conversely, some stores don’t differentiate between their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
Jet-setters rejoice: Travel Tuesday, with its great deals on flights, hotels, cruises, all-inclusives, and more, will take place on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
