UPDATE: November 28, 2024, 2:00 PM EST This story has been updated with the latest prices and inventory from Target’s best Black Friday deals live on Thanksgiving, plus new deals on Pokémon cards, Legos and vacuum cleaners.

If you want to get your Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving this year, it’s certainly possible. With Black Friday falling at the very end of this month, it’s no surprise that retailers started their sales much earlier. Now that Black Friday week is officially here, the deals are in full force. Once you’ve sifted through Amazon and Best Buy sales, turn your attention to Target.

Target’s deals are as good as it gets. We’re seeing discounts in several categories, including headphones, TVs and robot vacuums. Start shopping these deals on Apple, Bose, Ninja and more before Black Friday.

When does Target’s Black Friday sale start?

While Black Friday falls on Friday, November 29Target started the month with an early Black Friday, a 48-hour series of deals to boost your holiday shopping. Now the deals are coming back. Target’s Black Friday sale is live now and runs until Saturday, November 30.

Additionally, the retailer offers a price match during the holidays. If you buy an item at Target and it’s on sale until December 24, the brand will refund you the difference. It is also a price comparison with competitors’ prices within 14 days of your purchase.

What are Target’s Black Friday hours?

Unlike Amazon, which operates entirely online, you can shop Target deals online and in stores. If you’re looking to shop in person this season, Target is a great place to do it.

Target stores will open at 6 a.m. local time on November 29, for those looking forward to joining the crowds.
