Here’s What You Need To Know For Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2024 in Michigan
Yes, Thanksgiving is coming in just a few days but that isn't the only holiday that is going to be happening at the end of November and the beginning of December. Yes, the focus on Thanksgiving is to spend time with family, enjoy some good food, and watch some football but recently, there has been a new Thanksgiving tradition making a name for themselves.
Once upon a time families would put the Christmas tree up after waking up from a nap and eating a second plate and then spend time looking through the catalog and circling the deals they wanted to take advantage of. This was the beginning of Black Friday and then they would be sure to check their emails and favorite websites for Cyber Monday deals.
Now, that tradition has completely changed as Black Friday starts well before the day after Thanksgiving. The deals have started earlier and earlier every year and the actual in person shopping occurs on Thanksgiving Night at around 5pm. Cyber Monday has remained as it is, a chance to get INSANE deals from online storefronts the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Black Friday 2024
Black Friday is not the same date every year, but it is always the Friday after Thanksgiving, so that makes it easy to keep up with. This year, Black Friday is on November 29th because Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November.
Businesses like Kohl's, Target, Walmart, Meijer, Home Depot, and many others have started what they call "Pre-Black Friday Deals". These are deals that are available before Black Friday and provide a significant discount to shoppers.
Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving so most of the time it falls in November. Although, in years such as this one where Thanksgiving falls in the last week of November, then Cyber Monday will be the first Monday of December. This year, Cyber Monday falls on December 2nd so be on the lookout for online deals galore.
