Jewel-Osco Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

November 11, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: Whether you’re stocking up on pantry staples, looking for discounts on seasonal favorites, or just trying to save a few bucks before the holidays, Jewel-Osco’s Black Friday sale can offer some solid savings. Here’s what we’re expecting this year.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates and Duration

Jewel-Osco’s Black Friday 2025 sale is expected to kick off right on Black Friday itself, which falls on Friday, November 28, 2025, and it’s likely to continue through Tuesday, December 2, 2025, or while in-stock supplies last.

Ad Format and How to Access It

The Black Friday ad itself is usually a 3-page flyer, both in print and online. If you get the newspaper or regularly check the store’s website, you’ll see it pop up the week of Thanksgiving. It’s also available through the Jewel-Osco app, which is where you’ll find all the digital coupons tied to many of the sale items.

In most cases, the best discounts will require that you clip a digital coupon using the app. That means you’ll need a free Jewel-Osco for U account. Once you’re signed in, you can browse the digital ad and tap to load coupons to your account. When you check out and use your phone number or loyalty card, the discounts apply automatically.

It’s a good idea to review the ad in advance, clip the coupons early, and plan your shopping trip. Some items do have purchase limits—like two per customer—so getting in early may help you avoid missing out.

How Big Are the Discounts?

In recent years, Jewel-Osco has rolled out some serious savings during Black Friday. One of the biggest draws has been their 50% off specials. These usually include a mix of name-brand groceries, frozen food, and household staples. You’ll also see “Buy One, Get One Free” and “Buy One, Get One 50% Off” deals across different categories.

The discount levels typically range from 30% to 50% off, with the best deals reserved for those digital coupon items. In some cases, those deals bring the price of popular items down lower than anything else you’ll see the rest of the year.

Here are some typical discounts based on what we saw last year:

50% off frozen pizzas (DiGiorno and Red Baron)
Buy One, Get One Free on breakfast cereals (like Cheerios and Frosted Flakes)
$0.99 per pound for fresh turkey (with coupon)
50% off select bakery pies and cakes
50% off cleaning products like Lysol spray and Clorox wipes
Up to 40% off select wine and spirits

These are just examples from last year, but you can expect similar offers again in 2025. Jewel-Osco tends to stick to the same format each year, with some variation in the brands or specific items.

Jessica London Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

November 11, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: Known for offering extended sizing and stylish options across categories like outerwear, dresses, and workwear, Jessica London’s Black Friday event in 2025 is expected to bring back some of the same strong deals we saw last year—most notably, a 50% off sitewide promo code.

While it’s still too early for the brand to officially announce the details, based on what happened last year and how they usually structure their sales, there are some reliable trends we can look at to get a clear idea of what’s coming.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Jessica London is expected to kick off its main Black Friday 2025 sale at jessicalondon.com on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. That’s the day before Thanksgiving, which gives you a bit of a head start before the traditional Friday shopping rush. If they follow last year’s pattern, we should also see early access sales pop up a week or so before that. These were called “Holiday Head Start” deals last time and offered a sneak peek at some of the discounts.

The Black Friday pricing will likely stay active through Saturday, November 29, 2025, before shifting to a near-identical Cyber Monday promotion starting Sunday, November 30. The Cyber Monday event typically lasts through Monday and wraps up by the end of the day (this year that’s on December 1, 2025).

Discount Levels You Can Expect

The headline offer is expected to be 50% off sitewide, with a few exclusions. Last year, you had to use a promo code at checkout (the code was BLACKFRI), and that discount applied even to items that were already marked down. This included things like outerwear, leather jackets, knitwear, and clearance items that weren’t labeled “final sale.”

There were some exceptions, though. The 50% off deal didn’t include things like:

Gift cards
Final sale items
Menswear
Home goods
Select swimwear and accessories
Specific third-party brands like Eloquii, June & Vie, CUUP, and One and Only Tees
International orders

In addition to the general 50% off, there were also smaller, more targeted deals. One of them gave 25% off Suprema items, which is Jessica London’s line of soft knit basics. This was also part of the same BLACKFRI code.

A few other limited-time promotions were offered, too, like gifts with purchase. For example, if you bought pajamas, you could get a free pet scarf or matching slippers, automatically added at checkout (depending on the promotion). These were only valid on in-stock items and didn’t apply to clearance or final sale sections.

Featured Deals Last Year

Here are a few real examples of what people were able to buy during Jessica London’s Black Friday sale in 2024:

Leather Moto Jacket: Originally $299.99, dropped to $149.99 with the promo code.
Suprema Knit Tunic: Originally $44.99, priced at $33.74 with the 25% off Suprema deal.
Fit-and-Flare Sweater Dress: Marked down from $89.99 to $44.99.
Wool Blend Long Coat: Regular price $189.99, available for $94.99 during the sale.
Wide-Leg Ponte Pants: Typically $69.99, dropped to $34.99.
Printed Pajama Set with Free Pet Scarf: Around $39.99, with the bonus automatically applied at checkout.
Clearance Maxi Skirt (non-final sale): Originally $79.99, already reduced to $49.99, then cut further to $24.99 with the promo.

The best items tend to go quickly, so anything with classic styling or limited color availability usually sells out by the end of the first or second day of the sale.

What’s Typically Not Included

Even though the 50% discount feels like it covers everything, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid if you’re specifically looking to take advantage of the promo code:

Anything marked as final sale won’t qualify and can’t be returned.
Home goods, menswear, and gift cards are excluded.
International orders won’t receive the Black Friday discount.
Brands like Eloquii, CUUP, and June & Vie were excluded last year and likely will be again.

Also keep in mind that the discount doesn’t include shipping or tax, and it only applies to orders placed online. If you’re ordering from a catalog or trying to price-match from something printed earlier, the offer won’t work.

Jared Jewelers Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

November 11, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: Based on past years, we’ve put together everything you need to know about what to expect from Jared’s upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale, from when it will likely start to what kinds of items you can expect to be discounted, how much of a discount, and what specific deals showed up last year.

Likely Start and End Dates for Jared’s Black Friday 2025 Sale

If you’re planning your shopping early, it’s worth knowing that Jared usually doesn’t wait until the day after Thanksgiving to kick things off. Based on last year’s schedule, the pre-Black Friday deals are expected to begin around Thursday, November 20, 2025 (that’s a little over a week before Thanksgiving). These are early promotions and are typically more limited compared to the main event.

The main Black Friday event will probably start on or around Wednesday, November 26, 2025, both in-stores and on jared.com. That’s the day before Thanksgiving. The deals usually continue through Sunday, November 30, but if things follow the same pattern as last year, Jared will roll right into Cyber Monday with little to no change in the promotion. The final day of the extended sale is likely Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

So, in total, the Black Friday event will likely span around two full weeks, with the most aggressive discounts popping up during Thanksgiving week.

Expected Discount Levels

When it comes to discounts, Jared tends to split its sale into tiers. The pre-Black Friday sale last year featured discounts up to 20% off select jewelry items. Once the main event hit, that increased to up to 25% off on a wider selection of merchandise.

Some of the major offers during the 2024 sale included:

10% off engagement rings
20% off lab-created loose diamonds
25% off select Le Vian styles
Free Bulova sunglasses (up to a $100 value) with select Bulova watch purchases
Free Blue Angels Clock (valued at $56) with a regular-priced Citizen Watch

These discounts were fairly consistent in-store and online. However, availability sometimes varied depending on location.

Common Exclusions to Watch For

Jared’s sales do come with some fine print. Based on the official 2024 terms, here are the items that were excluded from last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers:

Clearance items
Loose natural diamonds (except for lab-created ones)
Anniversary and wedding bands
Timepieces not marked as part of the promotion
Bridal pieces during the pre-Black Friday window
Jewelry cleaning items and warranties
Custom pieces, gift cards, repairs, and trade-in purchases
Designer brands such as A. Link, Alessi Domenico, Crivelli, J’Lure, Jared Atelier, Kallati, Pnina Tornai, Shy Creation, Vera, Yoko, Zydo
Previously owned items and charity-linked merchandise

You also couldn’t stack discounts or promo codes. So if you’re someone who likes to apply coupons, Black Friday might not be the time for that—everything was offered at the posted promotional price only.
