A late Prime Day and a pandemic have holiday shopping all out of sorts, and not just for Americans. The deals are starting earlier than ever, and it’s turning into a month of deals. Black Friday offers some great deals in Canada too, and you don’t have to compete with Thanksgiving. If you’re shopping from our neighbor to the North, here are the best Black Friday deals in Canada.
We have a number of categories for you to browse, but you may want to make sure your Amazon settings are up to date. Many of these deals are straight from Amazon, though there are a few choices from Best Buy and Walmart too. Ready to get spending? Let’s hop to it.
When is Black Friday 2020 in Canada?
Just like in the United States, Black Friday 2020 officially takes place on November 27. However, some of the deals are live right now and you can learn more about the history of Black Friday right here.
What can I expect from Black Friday this year?
Black Friday has been steadily making the move to online shopping in years past, and that only stands to accelerate this year. Thanks to the coronavirus, we’re expecting almost all of the shopping to be done online. Therefore, we’re expecting much greater competition when it comes to getting your treasured deals into your cart. While there might be a benefit to traveling to your favorite store to get your hands on a deal, please do so very carefully.
We’re also expecting a number of Black Friday deals to bleed through the weekend into the Cyber Monday holiday. It’s yet another result of the increasing online presence of the shopping holiday.
