Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Academy Sports Black Friday 2024 Sale

April 25, 2024 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Thursday April 25, 2024: While we still have a while to wait for Academy Sports’ Black Friday 2024 sale, we can already give you a sneak peek on what’s to come based on our experience tracking the trends over the years. Here’s what we’re predicting:

The sale will likely run from Sunday, November 24th (that’s 4 days before Thanksgiving) to Saturday November 30th or while in-stock supplies last. Their Cyber Monday sale is expected to begin immediately afterwards on Sunday morning, December 1st.
In terms of the deals, you’ll find 30% to 50% off specials across all product segments. Just keep in mind that some deals are only offered in stores. You can see last year’s sale highlights in the ad posted further down this page to get a general idea of what’s to come.
If shopping in-stores, we expect all locations to once again be closed on Thanksgiving day itself. But to make up for it, doors typically open extra early at 5:00AM on Friday morning and close as late as 11:00PM.
We are expecting to get a hold of their complete ad scan on or around Thursday November 14, 2024. That’s two weeks before Thanksgiving.

Naturally, all of you who are subscribed to our newsletter will be the first to receive updates as soon as we have more information. Until next time!

Updated on Thursday April 25, 2024: While we’re still waiting for the official release of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s (AAFES) Black Friday ad for 2024, we’ve been keeping a close eye on them for the past ten years. Based on our experience, here’s what we expect to see during this year’s event:

We’re expecting the ad to be released on or around Monday November 18, 2024. It’s usually quite large, anywhere from 36 to 60 pages in length.
The sale itself will likely begin online on Thanksgiving day and in-stores when doors open at 8:00am on Black Friday. The majority of the advertised prices are expected to be valid through the long holiday weekend until Sunday night, or while in-stock inventory lasts, however there will be some Friday-only in-store specials. No rain-checks are offered on sold out goods.
In terms of the deals, you’ll find everything from TV’s to cookware, clothing to jewelry, and much more, all with no sales taxes. You can scroll down the page to view last year’s ad to get a general idea of the type of offers that we often see.
Remember, only active military personal who can provide a military provided ID card can shop at AAFES.

7 For All Mankind’s Black Friday 2024 Sale

April 25, 2024 BlackerFriday.com 1 Comment

Updated on Thursday April 25, 2024: Even though we still have some time left to go until 7 For All Mankind’s Black Friday sale arrives once again, we’ve been tracking them for so many years now that we pretty much know (with 99% certainty!) what’s coming and when. Here’s a look at what you can expect during the annual event:

7 For All Mankind usually offers 40% off site and storewide on all full-priced merchandise over Thanksgiving weekend.
The event typically kicks off on Thanksgiving day itself and runs through Sunday night, then replaced with their Cyber Monday sale early the next morning. However, you can expect to see early access to the sale on or around Saturday November 23rd, 2024 if you’re joined to their email newsletter (they will send you a promo code to use on their site).
Besides the obvious exclusion of gift card and previous purchases, other exclusions that we often see during the event are men’s suede jackets and all existing, already discounted, sale items. Remember, all sale items are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

As always, official details and a copy of their ad will be uploaded to this page the moment we get it. Be sure to check back for updates or signup to our newsletter to stay informed. See you again soon!
