JCPenney Black Friday 2025 Sale: The Ad is Posted!

November 8, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 8, 2025: JCPenney’s Black Friday sale is one of their biggest events of the year. With the new confirmed details and ad now posted (see all 24 pages posted below!), we now have a clearer picture of how this year’s event will look like.

When JCPenney’s Black Friday 2025 Sale Starts

JCPenney has confirmed that its Black Friday Early Access program begins November 8, 2025. A $25 purchase that day comes with a Golden Tote and a Season of Savings coupon book. The full Black Friday ad is not out yet, but based on last year, I still expect it around November 10, 2025.

For the main event, JCPenney’s Black Friday 2025 sale is set to run on Black Friday (Nov. 28) itself both in-stores and and jcpenney.com. The company has confirmed that stores will open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday with surprise offers at 5 a.m., 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Early Deals and Daily Offers

Daily deals begin November 10, 2025 and run Monday through Thursday through November 20, 2025. Each one lasts 24 hours. JCPenney also said really big deals will drop every Thursday through Christmas Day 2025.

HP Black Friday 2025 Sale – The Ad is Posted!

November 7, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Friday, November 7, 2025: Here’s what’s confirmed and expected at this year’s HP Black Friday 2025 sale. HP is running one of its longest promotions yet. Early deals are now live, well before the holiday rush, and the company has laid out clear dates, price guarantees and return policies. The sale covers laptops, desktops, monitors, printers and accessories, with daily updates planned as the month moves along.

Confirmed Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

HP has already opened its early access offers for Black Friday 2025 at hp.com.

The official Black Friday window is locked in for Thanksgiving week. It begins Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 12:01 AM Pacific Time and continues through Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. HP points out that items marked with the “Black Friday Price” label will not be sold for a lower price on their site during that period. That label is meant to confirm that what you see during the sale window is the lowest price HP plans to offer.

Because HP expects high demand, it has already stated that quantities will be limited, no rain checks will be offered if something sells out and some items may have purchase limits. The extended holiday return window is also in place again this year. Items purchased from November 1 through December 25, 2025 can be returned through January 15, 2026 or 30 days after delivery, whichever is later. This policy covers Black Friday items as well.

HP’s Black Friday 2025 Ad

Discount Levels and What HP Is Promoting

HP’s Black Friday sale is usually centered around laptops and printers, and 2025 follows the same pattern. The early promotions show discounts that reach into the higher ranges depending on product line. HP’s laptop category features savings advertised as high as 60% off on certain models. In the printer category HP highlights doorbuster deals with reductions around the 40% mark on select units. Early deal previews and international listings leading into the US sale also show that some bundles and clearance styles reach much larger percentages, although these steep cuts tend to be attached to specific configurations rather than broad categories.

HP is using the “Black Friday Price” marker heavily this year to signal which items are already at their final discount. These products are not expected to drop further during the main sale window. If something has this label, HP is telling you that the listed price is as good as it will get during the Black Friday period.

The sale will be wide ranging. HP has already mapped out discounts across its laptop families, desktops, all in ones, gaming systems, monitors, printers and accessories. Since HP produces an enormous range of configurations, not every model within each family receives the same level of savings. Some items arrive with modest reductions while others get deeper cuts, often tied to seasonal clearing or limited run configurations.

Daily deals will run throughout the month. HP rotates limited time offers as inventory shifts, so not everything appears on the site at once. This rolling structure is common for its Black Friday approach and usually means fresh deals appear at different points during the lead up to Thanksgiving.
