Retailers Kick Off Early Holiday Sales: Best Deals Now or Wait for Black Friday?

Retailers are kicking off holiday sales early this year, with October bringing significant discounts on a wide range of products. While some items may see even deeper cuts during Black Friday, experts suggest not waiting too long to secure the best deals.

Major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target are launching multi-day shopping events in October. These early sales aim to beat potential price increases due to tariffs and cater to the 49% of holiday shoppers planning to start their shopping before Halloween.

Electronics enthusiasts can find attractive prices on personal devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartwatches. However, for major tech gifts like gaming systems or televisions, it's worth noting that Black Friday, around November 28, 2025, typically offers even bigger discounts. Retailers like MediaMarkt and specialized electronics stores such as Caseking are known for their substantial Black Friday sales.

Meanwhile, Walmart is focusing on fall cleanup with deals on yard gear, while Kohl's is offering discounts on kids' fleeces and coats. Additionally, kitchen appliances and smart home products are also on sale in October.

With October sales in full swing and Black Friday discounts on the horizon, shoppers have ample opportunities to secure great deals. While waiting for Black Friday might yield even better prices on certain tech items, grabbing October discounts ensures you won't miss out on savings.
