Black Friday Deals for Your New Home
When people hear the phrase “Black Friday,” thoughts immediately turn to Christmas gifts for family and friends. It’s the official kickoff to the holiday shopping season! But there’s one gift recipient you may not have considered… your new home.
When you’re settling into a new place, there are always home goods you need to make your space functional and comfortable—and it’s not always easy to fit everything into your budget at once. That’s where Black Friday comes in. With extended shopping hours, online deals, and the addition of Cyber Monday, this once one-day event has become a five-day bargain opportunity. Let’s take a look at some of the best Black Friday categories for upgrading your home:
Keep an Eye Out for Kitchenware!
More than one-third of all advertised Black Friday deals are on kitchen items. This is the perfect time to stock up on essentials at a fraction of the price. Retailers such as Amazon and Walmart typically offer major discounts on top brands.
Expect to see specials on Keurig machines, cutlery, cookware, and small appliances such as toasters, blenders, juicers, and bread makers. Premium brands like Cuisinart and KitchenAid frequently offer deep discounts, making chef-quality tools more affordable. Don’t forget dishes, storage containers, and utensils—these often drop in price as well.
Smart Home Technology
With smart-home tech booming, expect competitive pricing this holiday season. Smart home hubs, high-tech thermostats, lighting systems, home security equipment, and video doorbells are often featured at some of their lowest prices of the year.
Electronics retailers like Best Buy tend to offer the widest selection, while Amazon and Home Depot also compete heavily with strong seasonal pricing.
A Clean Sweep with Vacuums
If you’ve been eyeing a premium vacuum like a Dyson, Black Friday is the time to buy. Expect to find new and refurbished models priced around $200. For more budget-friendly options, brands like Dirt Devil and Hoover are often heavily discounted.
And don’t forget pet-friendly robots—many retailers offer great deals on Roomba and other robotic vacuums. Target, Kohl’s, and the manufacturers’ own websites are excellent places to check for bargains.
TVs and Electronics
Many televisions advertised during Black Friday are value models rather than high-end, but they’re perfect for guest rooms, kids’ rooms, game spaces, or secondary living areas. Electronics such as DVD players, Blu-ray players, video game consoles, Fire Sticks, and Roku devices are also commonly discounted.
Make Home Repair Easier
If you’re building up your tool collection, look for discounts on cordless tools like drills, saws, and screwdrivers. Full tool sets, ladders, and even table saws frequently go on sale as well. Stores like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ace Hardware typically offer excellent prices.
A Few Extra Tips
- Expect to pay for shipping when shopping online. Many home goods are heavy, and fewer than half of home items included free shipping last Black Friday. Always read the fine print before applying promo codes—some retailers allow only one discount per purchase.
- Make a list before you shop. With so many items available, you can easily lose track of your priorities. A plan helps prevent overspending and ensures you don’t miss out on must-have deals.
- Set a budget—and stick to it. Know what you’re willing to spend on essentials, nice-to-haves, and splurges. Avoid jumping on flashy deals for items that don’t truly fit your needs or budget.
- Skip bedding and linens. You’ll often find better pricing during January “White Sales,” giving you another opportunity to save after the holidays.
With thoughtful planning and smart shopping, Black Friday can be the perfect opportunity to outfit your home with items that make everyday living easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
