Like every year, the end of November will be punctuated by Black Friday.
This commercial event, straight from the United States, has been celebrated in Europe and therefore in France for less than 10 years.
Traditionally, Black Friday takes place on the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, and which takes place on the fourth Thursday of November.
Since the holiday is a holiday, millions of Americans take the next day off to take advantage of Black Friday, which is a day dedicated to massive promotions, less than a month before the holiday season.
So this is the kick-off for discount gift shopping, and the discounts are usually spectacular.
In France, if traders are not allowed to sell at a loss on that day, many of them lower the prices on their products and millions of items can be bought on promotion.
An opportunity to save money that should not be missed.
Black Friday 2020 dates
This year, Black Friday will take place on Friday, November 27.
But if this date marks D-Day itself, in fact, Black Friday begins long before.
We are already hearing about it through pre-BF operations organized by certain merchants, such as Amazon, which currently offers flash sales with thousands of offers to be entered until November 19.
From this date, it's a safe bet that the American online trader, perfectly trained in the exercise, will switch to Black Week mode.
Most online sales sites will undoubtedly do the same: Black Week means the week before Black Friday and is synonymous with "good deals before the hour".
This allows traders to start selling at low prices and the competition is fiercer each year.
Black Friday will close this week of promotions on November 27, but there will still be good deals on the weekend.
Finally, this marathon of promotions will end with Cyber Monday, Monday, November 30.
With all these possibilities, you should be able to stock up on good deals.

Going headlong into Black Friday promotions, without prior organization, is not necessarily the best thing to do.
Every year, we give you the keys to preparing for the event, and this year's edition is no exception.
The first step to properly approaching Black Friday is to determine precisely what your maximum budget is: setting a sum of money to spend, which you cannot exceed, makes it easier to place yourself in front of purchasing priorities. and thus benefit from the good plans serenely.
Then, you can start spotting the items that may interest you: for each of them, note the price, but also the site (s) that offer it for sale, so that you can easily find yourself there on the big day. You will thus have a concrete overview of the real price drop compared to that observed several days or weeks before.
Do not hesitate to take the time to compare the discounts applied by e-merchants: there is no point in buying at full speed if it is not the best available offers.
Obviously, stocks can run out quickly, but the important thing is to take advantage of the best possible price.
You can also subscribe to newsletters from sites that interest you, and offer them: not only is it a good way to access current good deals on these platforms, but in addition, some newsletters hide additional promo codes.
