Black Friday deals start early and seem endless. (Beginner)

Black Friday deals are happening now, even though it's not Friday yet. Stores are offering discounts before the big shopping day, trying to get people to buy things well before Thanksgiving dinner.

Experts say if you wait until Black Friday to start thinking about shopping, you're too late. To get the best deals on things like TVs and gaming consoles, you need to start early. The sales used to be just one day, but now they start weeks before.

Big stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target began their Black Friday sales a week or more before Thanksgiving. Some started as early as October. Businesses do this because they know people will spend a lot during the holidays, and starting sales early gives them more time to make money.

The sales are good; things are actually cheaper. Discounts can be as high as 35% off the regular price, especially from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday. To make sure you're getting a good deal, you can use websites that compare prices over time.

Even though the sales are longer now, it can be good for shoppers. You have more time to find the best prices. But if there's something you really want, it's smart to buy it early because it might sell out.

Black Friday isn't as simple as it used to be. It used to be a one-day sale, but now it's a bunch of different sales happening at different times. Even though it might be confusing, you can still save money if you shop smart.
