Black Friday sale in America. Black Fridays around the world

19.11.201816:14

Well, shall we save? Black Friday is coming and that can only mean one thing - the biggest sale is about to start! We have prepared the most useful tips for you and answered the questions of every shopaholic: what does Black Friday mean, when does it happen, which stores offer the best discounts and how to shop with maximum profit. So, first things first.

Black Friday - what is it? Shops all over the world offer huge discounts on this day, whether you want to buy new shoes, a TV or even medical equipment. Originating in the United States, the tradition quickly spread, and now the day that kicks off Christmas shopping is considered an unofficial holiday in many countries.

Shops on this day open earlier - at 5-6 in the morning, and some start working from midnight. Naturally, the quantity of goods, the discount on which reaches 80%, is limited. Therefore, in the US, it is quite normal to see huge queues in front of stores where Black Friday takes place, starting to form a day before the day of sales.

According to Wikipedia, Black Friday did not always mean the day of discounts in stores - the term originally appeared in Philadelphia - this is how they talked about traffic jams after Thanksgiving. In the usual sense for us, Black Friday appeared in the 60s, and is called so thanks to the idiom “intheblack”, which means profit. Traditionally, American store owners write down income items with a black pen and expenses with a red pen. The name more than justifies itself - on this day, the profit of stores increases by hundreds of percent.

The date of Black Friday is not tied to a specific calendar day, it falls on the fourth Friday of November, that is, the day after the American Thanksgiving holiday.

Many stores keep discounts for the entire weekend, right up to Cyber Monday, so even those who cannot take the day off and go shopping still have a chance to get things at a discount.

The date of Black Friday in 2019 is November 29th. When buying via the Internet on this day, be very careful - somewhere discounts start at midnight, somewhere later. As a rule, before this day, a timer appears on the main page, counting down the time until discounts appear.

We owe the largest sale, Black Friday, as well as discounts in general, to Frank Woolworth. Working as a seller in a store, it was he who at the end of the 19th century came up with a new system - he put the stale goods in one box, on which he wrote: "everything is $ 5." What's strange about this? At that time, there was no such thing as a fixed price at all - a person went into a store, and the seller assessed his solvency by appearance and named the price.

Later, the analytics of buying activity came into the trade - it became clear that it was the last month of the year that accounted for the largest revenue. And Black Friday was born, in fact, by itself - after Thanksgiving, people began to take days off so that they had four days to buy gifts for Christmas, before everyone sorted out the rest. Pragmatic American merchants immediately realized how to take advantage of this!

The date of birth of Black Friday, in the usual sense, dates back to 1996, when the expression BlackFriday began to mean nothing more than the day when stores start their Christmas sales.

Black Friday in the US and Canada is a real holiday. Which is not surprising, because it is in these countries that stores offer maximum discounts, and queues in front of shopping centers sometimes begin to line up even a few days before the opening, people put up tents and stock up on food so that no one takes their place. The record was set by an American woman who spent two weeks in front of the store to buy a TV when Black Friday came. Many take days off from work, planning to spend this day on bargain shopping.

In general, Black Friday in America is a rather cruel event. On the Internet you can find thousands of videos and photos of how a crazy crowd breaks into stores. It does not do without fractures, sometimes even people are trampled to death. Fortunately, every year more and more measures are taken to properly organize these sales, so that the event is more civilized.

For our compatriots, the chance to take advantage of special offers from American stores is online shopping. Choose the largest sites and well-known brands in order to save as much as possible on the purchase of a truly high-quality item.

We have such a tradition relatively recently: Black Friday has been celebrated in Moscow and other major Russian cities since 2010. If for the USA Black Friday is the beginning of sales for Christmas, then our compatriots buy gifts for the New Year on this day.

Many are looking for which stores will have Black Friday, while taking into account only the sellers of clothes and gadgets. In fact, on this day you can buy anything cheap: air tickets, special equipment, cars, etc. You can even book hotel rooms or order food to take home for half the price. Many stores offer special coupons and promo codes on this day.

Black Friday in Russia 2019 is mainly online orders. It’s just worth considering one important nuance - when it’s midnight in the USA and sales start, it’s already 7 am in Moscow. So those who focus mainly on American stores should not forget about time zones.

It is already known for sure that at a discount it will be possible to purchase health products at, clothes at and, cosmetics at and sports equipment at SportMaster. In advance, as already mentioned, it is quite difficult to get information about all discounts, so on the day of sales it is better to look at the websites of all your favorite stores. It will help to speed up the process, where you can not only quickly navigate through thousands of offers, but also get cashback.

Stores do not publish in advance the entire list of products that can be bought at a discount, a maximum of two or three items, in order to stir up interest. So it is almost impossible to immediately decide where and what you will buy. But if you know exactly what product you need, then you can use one of the price monitoring services, like Competera, Metacommerce and Pentagon. Moreover, we advise you to look at the dynamics of prices in advance in order to immediately weed out sellers who overestimate the cost of their goods, so that they can then sell them at an imaginary discount.

You can follow the information on our resource - all news about upcoming discounts in the largest stores will be published. We also advise you to visit the websites of the stores and brands themselves - there may also be useful information. So, it is already known that Apple is preparing a special surprise for the 2019 sales night. All details are not disclosed yet.

Tracking discounts is also convenient on the Black Friday website, which was created specifically for quick tracking of discounts. On this day, all information about price reductions in online stores participating in Black Friday will be published there. True, he also has a minus - when you go to stores from this site, you will not be able to get a cashback.

Even if you do not plan to visit shopping centers and for you Black Friday is the day of online shopping, you should not visit sites “at random”, choosing from random goods what you can buy cheaper. It’s not a fact that you will really save money, but the chances of buying unnecessary trash are growing exponentially.

Offline purchases should not be spontaneous either - go through stores that have announced sales in advance. If we are talking about clothes, then you can try everything on, see, evaluate the quality. A big plus is that you will know in advance where the goods you need are located, and then you will not waste time in vain.

Another important tip: choose wisely. If you want to buy an expensive quality item, then you should study its features in advance. For example, there are even rules for choosing sneakers, guided by which you can be sure that they will last you more than one season. Black Friday is when you have a great chance to buy a branded and really high-quality item at a ridiculous price.

By the way, it is better not to buy children's toys during the Black Friday sale - their prices traditionally drop even lower just before Christmas (in American stores) and New Year (in Russia and Ukraine).

and M.Video. Do not be too lazy to go to the sites and find out if there will be discounts. Please note that many stores offer the best prices for online shoppers. You can order goods on the site, get a discount and cashback, and after one or two days, calmly and without fuss, pick up your purchase at the nearest office.

When it comes to foreign ones, then pay attention to large trading platforms. The biggest discounts can be found in American stores, so you should definitely visit Amazon and. It is important to remember one more thing here: if you plan to shop not in a separate store, but on a large trading platform that brings together hundreds of sellers, then it is important not only to choose a product, but also to check how conscientious the seller is in front of you. For this, there are ratings and reviews, do not forget to read this information.

Preparing to shop for Black Friday 2019: shopping hacks

It's time to move on to useful tips! Experienced shopaholics, over the years of participating in sales, have compiled a kind of set of rules that will help you get the right things at the lowest possible prices.

Do you know the main problem of all shopaholics? They spend more than they can afford. No wonder, it's so hard to resist spending your entire salary on the day of huge discounts ... The solution is simple - prepare in advance for the Black Friday sale and allocate a certain amount that you can spend.

It is best to divide it into 2 parts: the first is what you can spend without any fear for the family budget, the second is if you found a very good offer for a thing that you didn’t plan to buy now, but you definitely need it. In any case, you cannot spend more than this amount, and if you doubt your own willpower, transfer it to another card or electronic wallet so as not to accidentally spend more.

Check prices in advance

Why doesn't Black Friday bring the same expected benefits to everyone? Sellers like to play tricks and raise their prices a few days before a sale in order to attract customers later with big discounts.

If you are used to buying things on certain trading platforms, like eBay, you should look in advance at the average prices for the product you are interested in and decide on the list of sellers that cause the most trust. So it will be easier for you to navigate when the day of discounts comes.

It is also worth looking at the goods on the sites in advance because it is difficult to immediately navigate on the new site. If you have never bought before, for example, at, but you know that big discounts are expected there, then you need to deal with the interface and filters in advance so as not to waste time on this later.

In the US, Black Friday begins before stores open - people stand in line for several hours to be the first to buy promotional items. Everything is not quite the same with us, but it’s still better to come to the store as early as possible.

By the way, it is in Russia that many shopping centers start sales at 19.00 Thursday, so it is important to find out in advance what time and in which stores Black Friday takes place.

Buy fast

This applies not only to purchases in shopping centers, but also online - a product with a tempting price tag can simply end. Moreover, it is worth remembering that a special system of discounts is also characteristic of Black Friday - the store management looks at purchasing activity and changes price tags in real time, so when you see the right thing with a good discount, you should not hesitate for a long time.

Clothing and electronics are considered to be the hottest items on Black Friday in stores, so get ready for competition!

Keep track of personal items

In the turmoil that traditionally accompanies large sales, pickpockets are actively "working". It is better to keep wallets, phones and credit cards in inside pockets, and putting a bag “for a minute” near the counter is a very bad idea.

You should not wear expensive jewelry - yes, everything is not as “fun” here as in the USA, but losing a watch or bracelet is more than easy.

Is it possible to go to the sale with someone from your family? Great! Knowing what date Black Friday is, you can decide in advance who goes to which stores and departments and what they buy. The goods you need are quickly taken apart, so you alone are much less likely to have time to buy everything at the lowest prices.

The same can be said about online shopping. When Black Friday takes place simultaneously in all stores, you can simply not have time to buy a product that initially comes in limited quantities. Therefore, it is better to distribute stores among several people.

When shopping online, pay attention to the terms of delivery. Many stores provide the opportunity to buy the desired item on the site, and pick it up later in a regular store. This option is the most convenient, because you do not have to stand in lines and hope that the promotional goods will not be taken apart.

When buying in foreign online stores, you should give priority to large international delivery services. Yes, you will have to pay a little extra, but you will be sure that the goods will arrive safe and sound, will be delivered directly to your home, and you will be able to track it all the way.

By the way, it is better to track the parcel through special aggregator sites, since different services will be responsible for the cargo throughout the entire journey. For example, after crossing the border, a package from the United States will no longer be tracked on the USPS website, and aggregators have access to information from all services. After the purchase and until the package has been delivered, you will need to carefully monitor the buyer protection period and, if necessary, open a dispute. If the parcel does not arrive after the protection period has expired, it is most likely that you will not be able to return the money.

Paid delivery by courier services gives you another priority - you can safely buy gifts for the New Year in this way, they will definitely arrive on time. Many people make the mistake of buying goods on the same Aliexpress with regular delivery by China Post, hoping that they will have time to reach in a month. Alas, when Black Friday passes, the mails are overloaded, so it's not a fact that the purchases will come by the end of January. But if you still don’t want to spend money on paid delivery, you can think about presents for February 23 and March 8 - by this time you will definitely have orders.

What promotions will be next

Of course, Cyber Monday! The actions held on this day are not so large-scale, but this can even be a plus, especially for Russians. Black Friday 2019 in the US, as usual, will mostly concern offline stores, and on Monday the same goods can be purchased with the same discount online.

Then there is a week of rest, at this time you rarely see big discounts, so you have to wait until Christmas. In foreign stores, Christmas promotions are held approximately from December 18 to 24, and in Russia - before the New Year.

As you can see, saving on purchases is very simple! The main thing is not to lose your head over the number of promotions and be smart about choosing a store and goods.

The world-famous Black Friday promotion in the USA 2019 attracts not only Americans themselves, but also residents of other countries, including Russia and other CIS countries. Sales are held not only in regular stores and supermarkets, but also online. That is, buyers have the opportunity to buy their favorite products online with delivery. The size of the discounts can reach 50%, and in some cases 80%-90%!

When Black Friday 2019 kicks off in America, many shoppers will be ready to make multiple purchases at once, as participation in this promotion guarantees great deals. By the way, it takes place every year at the end of November. The date is set differently each time, so that the sales start on Friday. This year, 2019, November 23 is set as the starting date.

It is important to know! Black Friday is a worldwide event, and its dates in the USA, Russia, Europe and other countries always coincide.

Discount history

Today, Black Friday in the United States is a familiar phenomenon, the arrival of which is awaited by millions of buyers. However, this was not always the case. The fact is that in its current capacity, namely, the period of profitable shopping, it arose relatively recently, just over 50 years ago. This tradition, associated with large discounts, a massive influx of buyers and excitement in stores, first appeared on American territory, and more precisely, in Philadelphia, in 1966.

What exactly this name is connected with is not completely known. However, since then it has become the custom that it is with Black Friday, which begins after the traditional American holiday, Thanksgiving, that the autumn-winter period of promotions and sales in retail chains and numerous stores begins.

By the way, the holiday of Thanksgiving Day itself has quite deep roots. It all started with the fact that in the first half of the 17th century, at the time when the first migrants began to move en masse to American territory, which was then a colony of the British Empire. At first, their life was very difficult, and sometimes it came down to simply surviving. So, in one of these difficult years, local residents, Indians, helped the newcomers with what they could: food, clothing and provided them with housing. As gratitude, after some time the colonists invited the Indians to a rich feast. They thanked God, as well as the local residents, for helping them survive the difficult and hungry winter. Since then, Thanksgiving Day began to be celebrated, which, over time, acquired the significance of a public holiday. Gradually, this holiday became associated with mass celebrations, fairs, and the sale of popular goods. All this ultimately led to what we see today.

Conditions for profitable purchases

Of course, Black Friday in America is a very profitable promotion. However, in order for it to become this way for you, as a buyer, certain rules must be taken into account and followed. In fact, everything is quite simple:

A certain difficulty lies in the fact that many people, seeing huge discounts, begin to buy everything, including things that are completely unnecessary for them. Therefore, experienced buyers advise thinking about everything in advance and making a list of those goods that you really need to buy. Don't buy unnecessary things just because they have a good price. It will just be wasted money.
Follow the news in advance, as well as the pricing policy of the stores. Today, not only storefronts are available, but also the Internet, thanks to which you can find out most news online, regardless of where you are at the moment. Alternatively, you can subscribe to updates from those brands (iPhone, Nike, Samsung, and whatever) that interest you and find out about the sales conditions in advance. Large manufacturers usually provide such information on their official website.
For buyers from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, it is advisable to take into account that there is a certain time difference between the USA and Europe, which takes several hours (depending on the time zone). So it turns out that when in Russia (for example, in Moscow) it is still morning, in America it is still night, and morning will come only in a few hours.
Some online stores and hypermarkets begin to reduce the cost of goods in advance, without waiting for the start of Black Friday. So you don’t have to wait for the time when there is a massive rush and shortage of goods, but buy everything you need a little earlier, albeit with a slightly smaller discount.
Don’t waste time, because often goods are literally “swept away” from store shelves, and you simply may not get anything.
Large shopping centers, well-known brands and large online stores (, Ebay and others) often provide larger discounts to these small shops.

List of stores

First of all, we are interested in those stores that deliver goods to Russia or the CIS countries during the Black Friday sale in the United States. Of course, this is not all. The same Amazon or eBay are not only stores in themselves, but at the same time they are also marketplaces that only provide their virtual storefronts for third-party merchants, and each of them pursues its own policy on trade and delivery.

Remember! Sales and shipping conditions may vary from year to year. What was relevant in 2019 may no longer work in 2020.

So, here is just a small list of stores that may be of interest to potential buyers:

Product group	The shops
Children's products, including car seats, toys, clothing	ToysRus, Kidsroom, AlbeeBaby, Carters, Kidorable

The listed online stores can be found on the Internet by entering their names. The search engine will bring you the official website of each of them.

About delivery

When purchasing goods during the Black Friday sale in America for subsequent shipment to Russian territory, it is important to understand that you will have to deal with fairly strict customs regulations. Thus, a significant part of goods are completely prohibited for shipment. Here is their main list:

Weapons and ammunition, spare parts for them.
Seeds, plants.
Animals, birds and insects.
Cultural and historical values, antiques.
Alcohol, tobacco and tobacco products.
Deodorants in aerosol form and other aerosol products.
Gems.
Medicines that contain narcotic and psychotropic substances.

As for delivery conditions, it should be borne in mind that not all American online stores ship to Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. In this case, you have the opportunity to contact an intermediary company. Today there are many of them; just search the Internet for a few minutes. All of them have an interface in Russian and Russian-speaking employees, so you won’t have any difficulties in terms of communication. Of course, you will have to pay extra for the services of an intermediary, but the amount of payment, as a rule, is relatively small and depends, first of all, on the weight of the parcel.

Types of sales

There are several main formats of Black Friday USA, following which discounts are provided:

New express discounts. The bottom line is that new “hot offers” for certain products appear periodically. That is, there is no specific, single bonus for a clearly designated product group, but promotions for new products constantly appear.
Automatic price reduction for a group of products from a given store. The cost of different items, at the same time, can be reduced by different amounts: 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and so on.
Fixed discounts on the entire range presented on the shelves or on the online storefront, for example, 60% on everything.

The start date of Black Friday 2019 in America is November 23. This number will be the day when massive sales begin. There is no way to miss such an opportunity. But don’t forget about other promotions, including Christmas, New Year’s, and Cyber Monday, which is becoming increasingly popular.

Black Friday in America is a holiday you can't miss

If an “advanced” scholar is asked a question about Black Friday, a clarifying phrase will follow: “What exactly are we talking about?”

September 24, 1869 - Black Friday of financial turmoil in the United States, when J. Gould and J. Fisk bought all the gold.
April 15, 1921 - betrayal of the opportunist leaders of the miners' trade union movement. It led to defeat and the loss of many gains during the period of class struggle.
December 2, 1966 – Black Friday of the Vietnam War. On this day, American aviation lost 8 aircraft at once.

True shopaholics will answer without hesitation: “Black Friday in America is a collapse in prices, exorbitant discounts, a shopping frenzy, a crazy influx of buyers.”

This shopping culture, or tradition as it is also called, was born in Philadelphia 50 years ago. It is not known for certain who coined this term and on what occasion it was voiced in 1966. But it is she who, immediately after Thanksgiving, opens a series of holiday Christmas and New Year sales.

What is Thanksgiving and what is the relationship between it and Black Friday?

In 1620, a group of English colonialists, as they called themselves “Pilgrim Fathers,” landed on the shore with their children and women. The inhospitable land (present-day Massachusetts) greeted them with oppressive silence, fierce frosts and hurricane winds. Not everyone survived that winter. The indigenous people, the Indians, helped the survivors with food, clothing and shelter.

One day, Governor Bradford invited 90 Indians to dinner. At this celebration, he thanked God and his saviors for their help. Since then, this event has become known as Thanksgiving Day. Over time, it acquired the status of a public holiday.

It seems that the date - the last Friday of autumn - was not chosen by chance. These days there are also endless words of gratitude to God for a successful purchase.

Unlike the sedate, elevated and peaceful Thanksgiving Day, Friday is characterized by turmoil, lines, crowds, broken noses and bruised sides.

When it’s Black Friday in the USA and by the will of fate you find yourself in America these days, 5 golden rules of conduct in the shopping whirlpool will help:

Don't slow down
Make a decision quickly. Everything is “licked off” from the shelves instantly. There will be no time to think.
Don't go small - go big
On this day it is better to visit some mega-shopping center. There are more products here and the discounts are more significant.
Watch your back
Offline platforms, as a rule, start the sales season in advance, gradually reducing prices. But it is at hour X that the “sweetest” offers are made. Don't miss this moment.
Spend time on the price monitor
If you have time, run through shopping centers and look at online counters, compare offers, and note the “tempting” items. Then the best purchase is guaranteed to be yours.
Don't lose your head
Don't give in to the hype and mass psychosis. Think about what you need, rather than buy what you can...
Unlike the American buyer, who will spend most of his energy in the crowd of large shopping centers, our shopaholic will prefer visiting an overseas online store, sitting in a chair at a computer.

Before the start of the biggest sale of the year - Black Friday in America, there is still a lot to do. Prices in boutiques and shopping centers will be reduced so much that not taking part in this grandiose event will be tantamount to a crime for true shopaholics.

Black Friday 2017 is a real shopping holiday! On this day in the USA, Europe, and more recently in Ukraine, discounts reach a record 90%! Impressive, right? But there are pitfalls here too. Read in our material where to look for discounts on Black Friday, how to place an order on foreign sites and not get into a mess.

How are black friday discounts

Black Friday (from the English to get into the black - "do business with a profit") accounts for 10% of the total holiday sales in the world. From this and until the New Year holidays, stores provide discounts from 10% to 90%. Over time, this tradition came to Ukraine and is just beginning to be popularized.

Do not be completely skeptical about this holiday. With discounts, they sell not only goods that have been on the shelves for a long time and are of no interest to anyone. The modern sale is not recycling, but a competent action that stimulates the sale of absolutely the entire range.

On this day, brands reduce the price of far from the worst goods, but on the contrary - running. Only during Black Friday, retailers (retailers) can earn much more than they usually receive in a month. That's why black friday is not a myth and the opportunity to save money. Moreover, it's time to think about New Year's gifts and the decor of your home for the holidays.

But Black Friday has its own rules and pitfalls. The main thing is to be able to properly prepare for it! If you blindly come to the first shopping center that comes across that day, then this will only threaten you with rash expenses that will bring neither joy nor benefit. So stay calm and learn with us.

Where to look for discounts on Black Friday in Ukraine

Since Black Friday in Ukraine is still a novelty, unfortunately, it is difficult to find really profitable offers in our country. Hardware stores cannot yet afford to lower prices to the mythical 40-60%. We don’t want to disappoint you, but you won’t buy for a couple of thousand hryvnias on this day. Even large Ukrainian networks of equipment allow themselves to reduce the price by 10-15% as much as possible. But if you have long dreamed of an expensive purchase and you cannot do without it, this is also a pretty good way to save money.

It is a completely different matter with clothes, cosmetics and gifts. The margin on these goods is quite high, so the probability of buying it at cost is much higher.

We advise you to make a list of necessary purchases for home, yourself or just gifts and look for stores that can give discounts on the things you need. Aggregator sites are best suited for this, which will be able to analyze the offers of different stores and offer various price options - from the cheapest to the most expensive.

On which sites to look for discounts on Black Friday in Ukraine (list):

Shops-ukraine - this site offers to search for discounts in separate sections "Cosmetics", "Homeware", "Technique", "Clothes" and others. When you select a specific store, you will be taken to the official page of the store, so do not be afraid of any overpayments.
Skidochnik - this site generates discounts for all its stores. Therefore, it can be useful not only on Black Friday. The site has a fairly easy search and a wide selection of gifts. You can also find good discounts in your city in the "Promotions of the city" section and not spend money on delivery.
Black-friday-sales - here you can find discounts on goods from about 80 online stores. Here you will find household appliances, cosmetics, electronics, and branded clothing. In addition, if you make purchases through this site, you become a participant in the promotion and can win prizes from partner stores.
Blackfriday - by registering on this site, you will receive information about sales starting on November 24th. You can buy directly from this page. Purchased goods can be ordered with home delivery.

All of these sites offer registration, and it is also recommended to subscribe to the e-mail newsletter. The best deals will be sold like hot cakes. Get ready to act immediately! Notifications about great offers from specific stores or a specific group of goods will be sent to your e-mail or smartphone.

Also pay attention to delivery. If it is possible to order the purchase of goods directly in your city, it is better to do so. Delivery around the city will be cheaper than delivery by various services that have their own pricing policy (more often, it will not be in your favor).

These sites may include the same stores, so there is not much difference in them. Choose the one that is more convenient for you with the interface and go shopping!

Where to look for Black Friday deals in the US and Europe

For Americans, Black Friday is traditionally associated with the most profitable shopping for the whole year. Many even take a day off in order to have time to buy the best goods. Even if we live in Ukraine, no one forbids making purchases from the USA or Europe.

You just need to take care of a few things: do not forget about the time difference, think over the delivery and do not forget about taxes.

Difference in time: Kyiv's time zone is UTC/GMT +2, and New York is UTC/GMT-5, so the difference is +7 hours. In order not to miss the start of the sale, set a timer and make a list of stores where you will shop in advance. The same applies to European countries, depending on the country, the time zone will change.

Delivery: not all stores offer delivery of goods to Ukraine. And if they offer - consider the price. Sometimes it can be more expensive than your purchased item. If you have friends who live in the US or Europe, do not hesitate to ask for help. If this is not possible, you will have to use one of the international delivery services.

Taxes: Today, the state allows Ukrainians to order goods abroad without additional tax payments in the amount of no more than 150 euros. If the parcel costs more than 150 euros, then you must pay duty and value added tax. There were discussions around limiting the number of purchase transactions - up to three per month. That is, already for the fourth purchase, the tax will be up to 20%. But so far this has not happened - you can buy up to 150 euros with peace of mind an unlimited number of times. In case of exceeding the amount, also make purchases as much as you like, but you will have to pay for this to the state.

Which sites to look for discounts on Black Friday in the USA (list):

Qwintry - here you can already try to catch the iPhone! This is also an aggregator site that can be used to find stores in the US. This site allows you to create a personal US address that you can use to make a purchase, and also promises to deliver the goods to your home - in Ukraine. According to tariffs - for a parcel of two kilograms from the USA you will pay $ 22 (delivery 8-14 days). Here you can find great deals on Ebay, Amazon, GAP, Walmarket and more. But it is better to follow the largest stores on their websites, where offers will appear faster.

Download the online shopping cart. Pick up goods in advance and collect them in a virtual shopping cart. In the first minutes of the start of sales, all that remains is to click the "Buy" button.

There is very little left until Day X. Until the day when you can buy everything you want at the lowest prices without losing quality, take part in closed transactions and auctions. And all this in one day.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday has become the symbol of the opening of the American Christmas shopping season. The only day when prices in stores fall and break all records within twenty-four hours on the eve of Christmas. It looks like a fairy tale, but it is reality.
The USA is famous for its customer focus, and many stores are no longer limited to just 24 hours and extend promotions and discounts for up to two weeks.

Black Friday (Black Friday) took its name from the bad times of the 1950s, when it jokingly meant “busy” and was associated with large crowds and queues. Later, the term began to be used in promotions throughout the United States. And in 2000, it was officially recognized as a day of shopping and dizzying discounts, displacing the owner of the title of sale of the year - the Saturday before Christmas. In pursuit of customers, discounts are becoming larger every year, and the offers are so tempting and profitable that retailers receive a colossal flow of customers into their networks.

In recent years, sales more often begin to start in early November and reach their peak during the state of emergency. This is an absolute plus for people who do not want to crowd in lines and prefer to take care of New Year gifts for their loved ones in advance. Another undeniable advantage appeared with the development of online commerce - online shopping. When shopping in online stores, anyone has the opportunity, without haste or crush, to choose the desired product, size, model that they have long dreamed of, gifts for different occasions and occasions.
