Look, I’m not your mom. But if you hate people, don’t go to a Target on Black Friday. The store will look like a tornado hit a clearance aisle. You’ll see someone fighting for the last instant pot.
If you go on Thanksgiving evening (yes, Target opens at 5 PM or so), expect lineups that wrap around the electronics section. You’ll need a snack and a lot of patience.
But here’s the thing: Target’s online deals often match the in-store ones. So you can sit on your couch, in your pajamas, and click “add to cart.” It’s way more civilized.
What If You Miss the First Wave?
Don’t panic. Target runs these deals in cycles. If you miss November 21st, they’ll drop another batch on November 25th. And then another on Cyber Monday (December 2nd).
It’s like a never-ending buffet of discounts. You might not get the absolute best price on that specific air fryer, but you’ll find something close. Target is smart—they want you to keep coming back.
