"Black Friday and Cyber Monday are on the way, and soon enough, we'll be dashing through the snow (and plenty of deals). If you are planning on using the month of November to scoop up tech gifts for yourself or someone on your list, there are a few easy things you can do right now -- even a few weeks before the big weekend -- to make your holiday shopping process stress-free and maximize how much you save."
"As ZDNET's deals and shopping editor, I've covered every major shopping event, from Prime Day to Cyber Monday, and, of course, Black Friday. I'm also a voracious deal hunter, and I'm always looking to save -- watching for the best offers and seasonal sales events, scouting cash back offers via services like Rakuten, and taking advantage of sneaky ways to apply or stack promo codes."
Black Friday is Nov. 28, 2025, with Cyber Monday following shortly after. Simple preparation in the weeks before Thanksgiving can streamline holiday purchases and maximize savings. Early sales from major retailers begin as early as Nov. 14, so shoppers should finalize lists and timelines now. Updating saved payment cards and digital wallets across retailer accounts prevents checkout delays. Scouting cash-back services like Rakuten, monitoring seasonal offers, and stacking promo codes can increase total savings. Planning which devices or gifts to buy and when reduces stress on peak sale days. Five practical pre-Black Friday steps make holiday shopping more efficient and cost-effective.
