Black Friday sale

Post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy

A Black Friday sale is a promotional discount event held on the Friday after American Thanksgiving, traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year.

Retailers offer steep markdowns to draw crowds and launch the holiday shopping season.

The term now extends to sales throughout November and to online retailers: I got my TV during the Black Friday sale.

Black Friday sales start earlier every year.
