Target Black Friday deals: key information
What Target Black Friday deals do we expect to see in 2023?
Much like all of the big superstores, Target Black Friday deals offer a pretty mixed bag in terms of products to expect.
Last year, we saw some excellent deals on a wide variety of popular tech products, including AirPods and Beats headphones, Apple and Samsung devices, and even Roombas. We also saw sub-$120 Chromebooks, tons of discounted PS5 and Switch games, massive TVs, and a good selection of kitchenware from brands like KitchenAid, Keurig, and Ninja. Toys are also a popular Target Black Friday category, and we expect to see competitive prices on Barbie, Legos, Paw Patrol, Disney, and more.
We expect to see more of the same this year, with new Apple device releases and premium mobile tech likely garnering the most interest.
How can I get the best Target Black Friday deals on the day?
With the shopping landscape totally changed from a couple of years ago, we expect Target to lean heavily into online-first deals. That's not to say shopping in-store is off the cards, but we expect it'll be easier to grab the bargain you're looking for if you're on your PC or phone.
In terms of bagging the items you want, when shopping online, we'd avoid holding products in your basket for too long, especially if you're looking to pick up a potential sell-out hot commodity such as a bargain high-end TV or an Apple device. Don't forget to check out other retailers, too, as Amazon Black Friday deals, Walmart Black Friday deals, and Best Buy Black Friday deals are seriously competitive.
When do Target stores open on Black Friday?
Target hasn't announced its Black Friday store hours, but based on years past, stores normally open at 7 AM local time on Black Friday. You can also check Target’s store locator, which will have the most up-to-date information for store hours on Black Friday.
