Today marks the 100 day milestone in the countdown to Black Friday 2024. We know that the actual day of Black Friday continues to be less and less important each year as retailers turn the entire month of November into one long series of sales. Nevertheless it should be an interesting year for deals and sales.

Today marks the halfway point of the countdown to Black Friday 2024. We're exactly 6 months away from November 29th which is the date Black Friday falls on this year (which also happens to be the latest possible date).

We'll be be "officially" starting our Black Friday and holiday shopping coverage in the fall but we'll continue to post any relevant updates here in the meantime.
