And just like that, Black Friday has come and gone. Amazon has officially moved on to Cyber Monday deals.
Amazon turned up and turned out some epic Black Friday deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox gave you hives, and you've yet to make a purchase, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale and what you should shop.
Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive. That being said, Amazon has wiped its hands of Black Friday and moved on to Cyber Monday as of Saturday, Nov. 29.
Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.
So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.
When is the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale?
The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28. And as of this morning, it has officially wrapped up.
But honestly, most of Amazon's Black Friday deals last through Monday; they're just going by Cyber Monday deals. Yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well. You've got time to shop, too. The official Amazon Cyber Monday sale runs through Monday, Dec. 1, which is when you can consider Amazon's Black Friday sale to be over.
Does Amazon have better deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands were available on Black Friday. In fact, some products have gone up in price. The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC shot up from $99.99 to $139 now that Black Friday ended.
The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.

Just about every deal probably looks great upon first glance, but it's wise to do a few extra seconds of research, especially if it's a pricier investment. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker, and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers. The Mashable shopping team uses camelcamelcamel daily throughout the entire year.
