The Black Friday sales are here again. And, as you probably know, that means you’ll find the biggest discounts this year – and just ahead of the festive season, to boot! To save you the hard yards, we’ve trawled the Australian internet to put together this list of the biggest deals for everything tech that we’ve spotted so far. This list will be updated throughout November, so be sure to check back here if you’re looking for something specific.

What is Black Friday? Is it a thing in Australia?

While Black Friday originally comes from the United States, it has become mainstream in Australia, too. The tradition began in the 1950s, when shops in the U.S. would offer big discounts on their stock the day after Thanksgiving. This allowed stores to clear their shelves for the new season, and consumers to get ahead of their holiday shopping in one weekend. The event has since gone global, and most retailers in Australia and around the world do some form of Black Friday sale.

Cyber Monday is a more recent addition to the shopping weekend, as online retailers sought to offer their own take on Black Friday. But as the lines blur between commerce and e-commerce these days, Black Friday/Cyber Monday has become one connected week of deals.

When is Black Friday in 2024?

Black Friday 2024 technically takes place on Friday, November 29, and Cyber Monday takes place on Monday, December 2. However, the whole month of November is now choc-a-block with Black Friday sales campaigns from online and in-store marketplaces such as The Good Guys and Amazon, as well as direct brands like Lenovo and HP.

What are the best items to buy on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

When it comes to discounts, you will get the best bang for your buck with big-ticket items, since these translate to the biggest cash savings. It is often a great strategy to hold out until Black Friday to do your big tech purchases (such as laptops, smart home devices, TVs, etc.) Keep an eye out specifically for the following products:

• Appliances: Retailers like The Good Guys and Bing Lee always go big on Black Friday, dropping prices on pretty much everything they stock. You can expect deals on washing machines, fridges, freezers, kettles, toasters, and much more. If you’re looking to stock up on appliances for your home, these sites should be your first stop.

• Games consoles: Finding console availability has been a total over the last couple of years, but things are definitely improving in Australia, with PS5 bundles being readily available on Amazon. That means there should be opportunities to pick up deals games and accessories for the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5 this year.

• Smartphones: Amazon always offers plenty of impressive deals on all sorts of smartphones.

• Toys: Black Friday is probably the best time of the year to shop for toys. The most in-demand toys will sell out fast in the run-up to Christmas, so this is a great opportunity to get in early. We recommend checking out Amazon for the best deals on Lego, especially for the massively popular Star Wars and Harry Potter sets.

• TVs: Black Friday is all about big deals on the biggest products, and that means TVs. We expect pretty much all of the leading retailers to offer fantastic deals on TVs of all sizes from top brands like Sony, Samsung, LG, and Panasonic. It’s best to shop around for the best TV deals, because there are going to be so many, but you can’t go wrong with The Good Guys, Bing Lee or Kogan.

• VPNs: Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, are a fairly new addition to the Black Friday shopping scene, but there are some good deals available, especially by Cyber Monday. Cybersecurity is increasingly important, and VPNs offer online protection for your identity and data. All the leading services are likely to offer discounted rates over the week, and you should be able to find good deals on the likes of NordVPN, Surfshark VPN, ExpressVPN, PureVPN, and CyberGhost VPN.

Be sure to also be on the look out for deals on travel, subscription services, and laptops, because these are likely to feature heavily throughout this shopping season.
