Land’s End Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

1 Comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re planning to shop Land’s End Black Friday 2025 sale this year, here’s a breakdown of everything you should know; from when it starts to what kinds of items are usually included, how much you can expect to save, and what kinds of deals we saw last year.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Land’s End usually doesn’t wait until Thanksgiving or Black Friday itself to start their sales. If they follow the same pattern as in previous years, then we can expect “Black Friday Countdown” deals to begin sometime in mid to late November, both in-stores and at landsend.com. These early offers tend to be pretty strong, typically offering 50% off across a wide selection of products.

The main Black Friday event is expected to officially begin on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. That’s two days before Thanksgiving and three days before Black Friday. The event typically runs for about a week, ending on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, which is the day after Cyber Monday.

Typical Offers

Last year, the main Black Friday offer was 60% off nearly everything sitewide. There were exclusions, which I’ll get into later, but the 60% off applied to most regular-priced items. Along with that, they offered free shipping with no minimum purchase.

The promo code last year was BLACKFRIDAY60 and the PIN used at checkout was 1234. There’s a good chance they’ll go with something similar again this year. The promo code is essential to apply the discount if you’re shopping online, and the PIN may be needed in certain cases or during phone orders.

In addition to the storewide markdowns, the clearance section went up to 75% off, which made some items even cheaper than with the sitewide offer. It’s worth checking both the regular pages and clearance section when shopping, because the pricing doesn’t always overlap.

What Kind of Items Were on Sale Last Year?

Land’s End sells a wide range of clothing and home items, so there’s a lot to look through. But their biggest Black Friday deals tend to center around winter wear and seasonal essentials. Here are some examples of what they offered last year:

  • Women’s sweaters starting at $36
  • Women’s outerwear starting at $30
  • Women’s pajamas starting at $20
  • Men’s outerwear starting at $49

These prices were available after the 60% off discount was applied. Some of them were part of cyber deals, while others were listed under sale banners that changed throughout the weekend. In many cases, you could stack these deals with free shipping or find cheaper prices in clearance.

What’s Not Included in the Sale

Like most retailers, Land’s End has a list of exclusions that apply during major sales. Last year’s exclusions were pretty standard, and here’s what was left out:

  • Select footwear
  • Kids’ clothing and school uniforms
  • Gift cards
  • Monogramming services
  • Gift boxing
  • Shipping charges and taxes
  • Business Outfitters purchases
  • Items marked as excluded on the product page

Also, in-store clearance items weren’t eligible for the 60% discount. Prices were marked as-is in physical stores. If you shopped online, though, clearance sometimes offered a better deal, especially when layered with Cyber deals.

Shipping and Returns

Last year, the store offered free standard shipping with no minimum for the duration of the Black Friday sale. That’s not something they offer year-round, so it’s one of the better perks. Just make sure to enter the correct promo code at checkout (last year it was BLACKFRIDAY60) to trigger both the discount and the shipping offer.

Delivery windows are generally 5 to 7 business days, depending on your location. Items marked as shipped directly from the manufacturer may take a bit longer.

As for returns, promotional savings may be deducted from your refund if you return part of your order. So, if you return just one item from a bundle, you might get less back than expected. And clearance items may be final sale, so check each product page before buying.

La Mer Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

1 Comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re looking to pick up luxury skincare products during the Black Friday rush this year, La Mer is one brand that’s likely to stay consistent with its traditional holiday approach. Unlike most beauty and skincare companies that offer big percentage discounts or sitewide promotions, La Mer tends to take a different path. Their strategy focuses on free gift-with-purchase deals instead of flat markdowns. Based on previous years and early signs for 2025, here’s what you can expect from La Mer’s Black Friday sale this time around.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

La Mer’s 2025 Black Friday sale is expected to start on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, and run through Sunday, November 30, 2025, exclusively at cremedelamer.com. That means the promotion will go live a few days before Black Friday itself, which falls on November 28, 2025 this year.

No Discounts, But Free Gifts With Purchase

One of the first things to keep in mind about La Mer’s Black Friday approach is that you won’t see discount codes or price cuts on their products. The prices remain the same as usual. Instead of lowering the price tags, La Mer offers tiered gift-with-purchase incentives based on how much you spend.

This method actually gives regular customers an opportunity to get more value out of what they already plan to purchase. However, these gift offers are only available online through their site, and only to US-based customers. Also, each offer is limited to one per person and only one offer code can be used per order.

Gift Tiers Based on Spend Levels

Here’s a breakdown of what La Mer offered during Black Friday 2024, which gives us a clear idea of what’s likely to return for 2025. While they may update the gift items slightly, the structure and spending thresholds usually stay consistent.

  • Spend $150: You could choose five deluxe mini samples and receive a tiny trunk, which is a small, decorative box for storing samples or travel-sized products.
  • Spend $250: You’d get two tiny trunk ornaments (usually holiday-themed miniature boxes) and a rose gold La Mer accessory, which could be something like a compact mirror or keychain.
  • Spend $350: At this level, La Mer included a 15ml jar of moisturizer. This is likely their iconic Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream, which is a solid value considering how expensive the full-size version is.
  • Spend $450: You could pick a travel trunk and customize it with an adornment, offering a more personalized gift experience.
  • Spend $600: This tier included a 15ml bottle of The Concentrate, one of La Mer’s most popular high-end treatments. This item alone typically retails for over $200 in that size.
  • Spend $800: This was the top-tier reward, offering a full-size bottle of The Reparative Body Lotion. That’s a generous gift with a retail price of around $275.

These offers were all subject to availability and while supplies lasted. Once quantities ran out, La Mer had the right to substitute a similar item of equal or greater value. The offers also excluded purchases of non-eligible items like The Bespoke Set, gift cards, and anything out of stock.

Kroger Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re planning on shopping Kroger’s upcoming Black Friday 205 sale, then here’s a look at what you can expect by category, including the types of items that usually go on sale, how big the discounts can get, and examples from last year that could point to what’s likely for this year.

Typical Black Friday Sale Timing

The Kroger Black Friday 2025 event is expected to follow a similar schedule as in past years, running from November 28, 2025 (Black Friday) through December 2, 2025 (Tuesday, the day after Cyber Monday). This gives you five days to check out in-store deals and browse online-only offers. Not all locations will carry the same stock or have the same pricing, so you’ll want to double-check your local store’s ad and talk to a manager if you have questions. Everything is available while supplies last, and some deals may have quantity limits or exclusions.

The full ad is usually released in the week leading up to Thanksgiving, so keep an eye out around Monday or Tuesday of that week.

Groceries and Everyday Essentials

Kroger always includes grocery staples in its Black Friday lineup, and these are usually among the best deals you’ll find anywhere that week. Shoppers looking to stock up on food for the holidays—or just fill the fridge—can expect deep discounts on key items.

In 2024, some of the top grocery deals included:

  • Large Ripe Hass Avocados: Just 99 cents each
  • 80% Lean Ground Beef: $2.97 per pound
  • TombStone Pizzas: 3 for $10
  • Hot Dog or Hamburger Buns: 2 for $3
  • Kroger Half Gallon Milk: 99 cents each

Deals like these are typically front-page highlights, especially items like avocados and milk. These kinds of savings are usually limited to in-store purchases and may not be available online.

You can expect similar deals in 2025, possibly adjusted slightly based on inflation or regional pricing. Meat, dairy, and fresh produce almost always make an appearance in the ad, and they tend to sell fast—so if that’s what you’re after, go early.

Holiday Beverages and Snacks

The Black Friday sale often includes multi-buy offers on popular drinks and snacks, which are perfect for hosting or prepping for holiday events.

In 2024, examples included:

  • 4 for $12 on 2-liter bottles of Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, or Pepsi
  • 24-pack cans of Bud, Miller, or Coors Beer for $18.99
  • 10 for $10 Hershey’s Candy Bars

These types of offers typically show up every year in some form. Sodas and beer especially are high-turnover items during the holidays, and Kroger knows shoppers are looking to stock up. Be aware that alcohol prices may vary by state, and availability may be different depending on local laws.

Holiday Décor and Seasonal Items

One of the easier ways to save money at Kroger during Black Friday is on seasonal items like holiday plants and decorations. Last year, Kroger offered live Poinsettia plants for just $9.99 each and 40% off select Christmas décor.

These are usually store-specific, with different stores carrying different types and amounts of decorations. Some locations carry more extensive seasonal aisles, while others may have just a small display. These discounts are often applied at the register, so make sure you’re checking the tags for eligible items.

Keep an eye out for wrapping paper, gift bags, and stocking stuffers as well. These smaller seasonal items often pop up in the ad or with in-store signage during the event.

Holiday Gift Sets

Gift sets are a major category during Black Friday week, and Kroger usually discounts a wide range of them. In 2024, shoppers could find 25% off holiday gift sets, which included beauty products, food assortments, and other themed bundles.

These items are typically displayed near the seasonal section or front of the store. The 25% discount is usually applied across all qualifying sets, and they’re priced to move quickly. These can be good options for office exchanges, stocking stuffers, or last-minute gifts. Expect similar deals this year with possible updates to brands and packaging.

Small Kitchen Appliances and Home Deals

While Kroger isn’t known for big electronics or large appliances, it usually offers a few affordable kitchen gadgets during its Black Friday event. In 2024, select Bohemian small appliances were available for $19.99 each. These included toasters, coffee makers, and other compact items perfect for gifting or replacing older kitchen tools.

You’re not going to find high-end brands here, but the price makes them worth considering if you need a basic item. These are usually located in the home or seasonal section, and they’re often displayed in stackable boxes with clear pricing during the event.

Online-Only Deals

Kroger usually posts extra deals on its website that aren’t featured in the printed ad. These can include digital coupons, special online bundles, or items shipped directly to your home. These deals aren’t always grocery-focused—sometimes you’ll see discounts on general merchandise, kitchen tools, or beauty items.

Online deals often start at midnight on Black Friday or just before, so it’s worth checking Kroger’s site late Thursday night if you’re planning to shop online. Availability can change quickly, and many of these deals are while supplies last just like in stores.
