Get early deals throughout November
Macy’s is the latest retailer to share its holiday shopping and Black Friday plans.
A month before Thanksgiving and its famous holiday parade, the department store chain shared a “sneak peek” of its Black Friday specials Monday at Macys.com/blackfriday with savings across fashion, fine jewelry, tech, beauty, toys and home departments.
Macy’s said the deals will start rolling out Nov. 3 and there will be “unbeatable deals each week with an updated assortment of specially-curated, early-access specials.” Prices start as low as $3. (See the deals here.)
Nata Dvir, the retailer’s chief merchandising officer, said in a statement Macy’s was giving customers “the ability to plan ahead” by “sharing our biggest holiday specials online and in stores throughout the month of November.”

But shoppers will have to wait until the week of Thanksgiving to access all of the Black Friday specials, which will be available online, the Macy’s app and in stores from Nov. 23-27.
“We’re thrilled to bring the convenience and flexibility of shopping in stores, online and through our app to our customers during Black Friday at Macy’s once again this year,” Dvir said.
Ahead of the holiday season, Macy’s announced it had teamed up with Toys R Us and started selling toys online. Macy’s plans to open Toys R Us toy shops in more than 400 department stores nationwide starting in 2022.
With the ongoing supply chain bottlenecks and shortages caused by the pandemic, experts recommend that consumers start shopping for holiday gifts now ahead of Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Other retailers have started announcing holiday plans. Walmart said last week it will have three Black Friday sales like in 2020 that will start online and then continue in stores. Lowe’s starts its Season of Savings sale Oct. 28.
Target also has a new holiday price match guarantee while Amazon has its Epic Deals pre-Black Friday sale underway.
