How we score Black Friday deals
Black Friday is full of discounts that are bigger on the sign than in your cart. A real person checks every deal here at the store, compares it with what the item usually sells for, and gives it a Score from 1 to 10. A 9 is a price worth setting an alarm for. A 5 is fine if you needed it anyway. How we score deals
Black Friday 2026 questions
When is Black Friday 2026?
Friday, November 27, 2026, the day after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday follows on Monday, November 30. Many stores start their sales earlier in November, so early deals show up here as soon as we've checked them.
When do the Black Friday ads come out?
Each store releases its ad on its own schedule during November. We post each store's ad here once the store has made it public, along with the deals from it we think are worth your money.
Are Black Friday deals actually good?
Not always. Some "was" prices are inflated so the discount looks bigger than it is. A person checks every deal here at the store, and its Score says how good the price really is, from 1 to 10.
What does a deal that says "Starts" mean?
The store has announced the sale price but it isn't live yet. The deal shows the date and time it starts, and if you have deal alerts on, Recon pings you when it does.
How do I hear about deals as they drop?
Turn on deal alerts in the ScoreDeals app or your browser and pick the hubs you care about, or sign up for the Daily Score email. Both are free.
