What is Black Friday?
Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) is one of the biggest shopping events of the year. It's a time for shoppers to find major discounts on holiday gifts, tech and more.
Traditionally, shoppers stayed up late the night of Thanksgiving to line up in front of their favorite stores for early a.m. openings. A more recent trend had seen stores opening for Black Friday as early as Thanksgiving Day, though Walmart, Target and many other retailers close for Thanksgiving.
These days, Black Friday sales are readily available online at brand and retailer websites.
When is Black Friday 2022?
Black Friday is today: Friday, Nov. 25, 2022.
Why is it called Black Friday?
The term "Black Friday" dates back to the 1960s and was used to refer to the congestion caused by shoppers on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
It was later used to describe retailers' accounts going from in-the-red to in-the-black on that day.
What goes on sale during Black Friday?
Historically, there have been major deals on TVs, appliances, toys, Apple products and so much more.
Some of the biggest Black Friday sales happen at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Lowe's, Home Depot and Ulta. Last year's most popular items included Nintendo Switches, Barbies and Oculus VR headsets, according to Adobe.

65" LG OLED C1 4K smart TV: $1,647
Unlike LED and QLED TVs, OLED TVs don't have a backlight layer. Instead, each pixel is its own teeny-tiny LED light that can independently adjust luminosity and even turn off completely. Because each pixel functions independently, the TV offers elite image quality -- and the darkest shadows. OLED televisions also tend to be ultra thin. This particular LG set measures just 1.8 inches thick. It features 4K upscaling, plus built-in Google Assistant and Alexa.
