What You Need to Know About 2024 Black Friday Ads
It's never too early to prepare for Black Friday shopping. We suggest consumers begin watching in October, when Black Friday ads start appearing in newspaper circulars and on retailer websites. But wherever you get your Black Friday 2024 info, you should pay attention to the following:
- Black Friday store opening hours
- Which sales are online or in-store
- Which offers are limited-quantity doorbuster deals
Keep any specific dates and times in mind as you make your Black Friday shopping plan.
Here are some key points to remember as you look for the latest Black Friday ads:
The First Ads Aren't the Last Ads
Some retailers release multiple ads over the course of the holiday season. They put out several different Black Friday ad circulars before the big day. Walmart and Target often do this, releasing early deals in October or early November. Then they release final deals during Black Friday week. It keeps the sales season going for big retailers but can make things a bit confusing for shoppers. Keep your eyes open for new Black Friday promotions and deals, right up to Black Friday itself.
Don't Look for a Big Ad From Apple
While you can find deals on Apple products during Black Friday, don't expect a big Black Friday sale from Apple itself. The retailer typically offers Apple Store gift cards with select purchases, and may offer a preview of such, but stops there. Instead, watch retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Target, and Walmart for Apple discounts.
Don't Expect 'Leaked' Ads to Actually Be Leaks
Often leaked ads aren't really leaked. The retailers have simply released the ads early, sometimes going to media organizations even before posting the ads on their store websites. Sometimes digital ads also drop before newspaper circulars. Checking online is the most efficient way to find the latest Black Friday ads.
Black Friday Ads Aren't the Only Ads
When Black Friday wraps up, Cyber Monday sales start — and they have their own set of ads. While plenty of Black Friday ads cover Cyber Monday and beyond, you'll also find brand-new bargains announced over the weekend.

For that matter, not all Black Friday ads are called Black Friday ads. Costco, for example, tends to use generic holiday sale language to describe its sales throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But whatever the language, these are all sales happening around Thanksgiving.
When Will Black Friday 2024 Ads Come Out?
The earliest Black Friday ads tend to show up around mid-to-late October, with most ads posted by mid-November. In fact, you can usually count on most promotions being published by the week before Thanksgiving. But look for a few stragglers to post ads the week of the holiday itself.
A trickle of Black Friday ads tends to start in October, but most ads drop in November.
We've made Black Friday ad release date predictions for 2024 by looking at drop dates from previous years. While many retailers follow predictable patterns year to year, Black Friday ad release dates can vary, and these dates may change. If you haven't seen an ad, keep checking back — we're linking ads here as soon as they go live.
This is when we expect the biggest Black Friday 2024 ads to be released.
