The Best Pre-Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sales and Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Shop
Each year, it feels like the holiday shopping season gets shorter and shorter, but this year it’s actually the case with only 26 shopping days (compared to 32 days in 2018) between Thanksgiving and Christmas. To keep up, many popular retailers are putting out deals ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But how do you know if you should shop ahead of Black Friday 2019? More importantly, what are the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year? Below, we’ll answer both questions and share the best deals, so you don’t miss out.
Should I shop ahead of Black Friday in 2019?
The short answer is yes. According to Kristen Gall, President of Rakuten Rewards, it used to be true that Black Friday and Cyber Monday were the best days for deals, but this is no longer the case. “Stores know that if they don’t sell their inventory during Black Friday, they will have significantly less time to sell it before everything goes to very heavy discounts,” says Gall. That means big, and early, savings for you.

What other benefits are there to shopping early?
To start, “you’ll have your pick from the best choice of sizes, colors… often at the same (or deeper) discounts than Black Friday,” says Kristen. Shop early and you can knock out that gift list before you even carve the turkey this year. While others are scrambling at the last minute, you can relax and enjoy the holidays.
Don’t sleep on the pre-Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and deals this year. They’ll be gone in the blink of an eye, and you don’t want to miss out on the extra savings retailers are offering during this short shopping season.
