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.

Zulily Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Thursday, November 13, 2025: Zulily’s sales are unique because the site often rotates items quickly, and their Black Friday events are no different. Here’s a look at what you can expect this year.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Timing

Zulily’s Black Friday sale will likely officially begin at Zulily.com on Friday, November 28, 2025. Based on previous years, the site typically features a few different types of sales during this period. Flash Deals usually appear for just one day and often sell out quickly. These are the type of deals where checking early in the day is important because inventory can disappear fast.

In addition to Flash Deals, Zulily generally offers Black Friday specials that last two or three days or until supplies run out. This means that if you miss a Flash Deal, there may still be other discounted items that remain available through the weekend. Historically, the peak of traffic tends to be in the first few hours of the sale, but some of the deeper discounts can linger for a short time after the initial launch.


Typical Discounts & Examples From Last Year

Zulily is known for offering 50% to 80% off select items during their annual Black Friday event. Winter clothing and outerwear are among the items that tend to see the highest discounts. For example, Canada Weather gear reached up to 80% off during last year’s sale, while MUK LUKS footwear and accessories were discounted up to 55% last year. Looking at last year’s Black Friday sales can give a clear idea of what to expect for 2025. Here are some notable deals from 2024:

  • Canada Weather Gear – up to 80% off
  • Hauteness 4inONE Blowout Brush Hair Dryer – $29.99
  • Lumina NRG Time Keeper Plus – $149.99
  • Yogalicious by 90 Degree – under $30
  • C.C Cold Weather Accessories – $19.99 and under
  • V3 Designs Jewelry Sets – up to 83% off
  • Holiday Tees, all styles – $15.99
  • MUK LUKS Season of Giving – up to 55% off
  • Shoreline Wear – under $30

ZARA Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Thursday, November 13, 2025: ZARA’s Black Friday sale in 2025 is expected to follow the same pattern seen in previous years. Here’s what we’re predicting this year.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Timing

The online sale is expected to begin on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Pacific Time). It will likley run until the early hours of Saturday, November 29, 2025, officially ending at 2:59 a.m. ET (11:59 p.m. PT on Friday night), unless items sell out earlier. In stores, the sale begins when locations open on Black Friday, November 28, and ends when they close later that same day. Opening and closing times vary by store, though many typically open earlier and stay open later than usual, with some operating until 10 p.m.

You can except a preview of the deals online on the morning of Thanksgiving, but checkout is only possible once the sale officially starts. There is never a separate Cyber Monday  promotion, so the Black Friday window is the main opportunity for discounts during the holiday season (expect for the deals found year-round on their sale pages).


Typical Discount Levels

ZARA traditionally offers up to 40% off selected items across women’s, men’s, and kids’ clothing categories. Home goods are usually discounted at 20% off. Discounts are only applied to selected items and do not extend to the full store. Full-price new arrivals are not included in the promotion.

ZARA’s Black Friday sale is usually  a worldwide event. Stores in Europe, Latin America, and Asia participate, adjusting timing to local hours while maintaining discount levels similar to those in the U.S.


Likely Categories and Items

Based on previous years, certain categories tend to dominate the Black Friday markdowns. Outerwear and coats often see some of the deepest discounts, with jackets, trench coats, and blazers frequently reaching 40% off. Knitwear, including sweaters, cardigans, and pullovers, is commonly included in the sale. Jeans, trousers, and skirts for both men and women also receive significant reductions.

Dresses and jumpsuits are typically marked down, with styles ranging from casual to formal. Accessories, such as bags, shoes, and sandals, are included selectively, usually at smaller price points. Home goods receive smaller discounts, around 20%, covering items such as cushions, throws, and small decorative objects.


Last Year’s Featured Deals

The following items from last year’s Black Friday sale illustrate the kinds of deals and discounts usually offered:

  • Contrast Collar Jacket – $60 (was $129)
  • Buckled Tote Bag – $36 (was $49)
  • Mid Waist Barrel Jeans – $30 (was $49)

Yves Saint Laurent Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect

Updated on Thursday, November 13, 2025: If you’re planning to shop Yves Saint Laurent’s upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale, then here’s what you need to know, including when the sale will likely start and end, what categories are expected to be included, how deep the discounts usually go, and examples of items that were marked down last year. It’s also important to note that the brand’s luxury fashion products, such as handbags, clothing, and accessories, remain exempt from seasonal sales and will not be part of the promotion.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

YSL Beauty’s Black Friday 2025 sale is expected to begin on Monday, November 19, 2025, which is nine days before Thanksgiving. The promotion should run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025, although the official end date has not yet been confirmed. In previous years, the sale covered the entire long weekend, with no mid-event interruptions. The event will be held only on yslbeautyus.com, making it an online-exclusive promotion.


Typical Discount Level

The anticipated offer is 25% off site-wide, with no minimum purchase required. This discount is consistent with YSL Beauty’s Black Friday promotions in past years. While it is expected to apply broadly across the online catalog, you should be aware that some exclusions may apply, particularly for limited-edition collections, new product launches, or certain fragrance sets.


What Will Be Included

The sale covers cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances. Key product categories likely to be eligible for 25% off include:

  • Foundation and concealer lines, such as All Hours Foundation and Touche Éclat.
  • Lip products, including the Rouge Pur Couture lipstick collection.
  • Highlighters and powders, with the Touche Éclat Highlighter being one of the most popular items.
  • Fragrance options, which may include both full-size bottles and travel sets, depending on exclusions.
  • Skincare selections, which in the past have ranged from serums to eye care treatments.

Typical Exclusions

It is important to note that Yves Saint Laurent handbags, clothing, and accessories will not be part of the Black Friday sale. Like other luxury fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Tiffany, Gucci and Hermes, the brand does not discount its high-end fashion lines during Black Friday or at any time of year. Discounts are limited to the beauty and cosmetics line available on YSL’s official beauty site.
