UPDATE: Nov. 8, 2024, 10:34 a.m. EST Target’s Black Friday deals are officially live. We’re tracking the sale as products come in and out of stock.
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 has kicked off their Black Friday sale now. The early Black Friday deals run until Saturday, Nov. 9, so it’s a mad dash of deals to kickstart your holiday shopping.
However, Target has announced deals running all the way through Dec. 24, so we’re eager to see what sales stay in place through Black Friday. 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.

Undeniably, Bose makes some of the best headphones we’ve ever tested. They don’t slack on comfort or audio quality, but they are pricey. While we would endorse buying them at full-price, we also know you don’t have to.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones are a budget-friendly option in Bose’s line-up. Having tested them myself, they’re comfortable and easy to use with top-notch active noise cancellation.
