If you’ve got a project you’ve been putting off or want to prep your home for the holidays, then get ready, The Home Depot’s Black Friday 2025 is just around the corner. Here’s what you can expect this year, including when the sale will likely start, what kinds of discounts are coming, and examples of past deals that can give us a hint of what’s ahead.
When Will The Home Depot’s Black Friday 2025 Sale Likely Start?
The official Black Friday ad is expected to be released/leaked just ahead of Thanksgiving, probably on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Sometimes it shows up a little earlier, but in past years, the timing has been pretty consistent around that date.
The actual sale is expected to kick off online at homedepot.com on Thanksgiving Day, which is Thursday, November 27, 2025. Keep in mind, while the website will go live with deals, all physical stores are closed all day on Thanksgiving itself.
In-store shopping typically begins the next day, on Black Friday, November 28, 2025, at 6:00 AM local time. The sale usually runs through Cyber Monday and is expected to ends around Wednesday, December 3, 2025, unless things sell out earlier—which happens for popular doorbuster items.
Pre-Black Friday Deals: Early Savings to Watch
Before the main Black Friday event, The Home Depot usually runs an early wave of deals under a “Black Friday Savings” banner. These are expected to launch around Thursday, November 6, 2025, and run right up until Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
These pre-Black Friday offers tend to focus on similar categories to the main sale: tools, holiday décor, storage, and small appliances. It’s not uncommon for some of the deals from this earlier round to either be repeated or slightly adjusted for the actual Black Friday event.
Types of Items You’ll Likely See on Sale
Here’s a breakdown of the main categories that usually feature heavily during Home Depot’s Black Friday event:
1. Holiday Décor
This is a big one. Artificial Christmas trees, lights, wreaths, and live poinsettias are often featured in doorbuster-style deals. Last year, for example, they had a 7.5-foot Pre-Lit Edgewater Pine Christmas Tree for $79 (down from $199), and live poinsettia plants 2 for $50, though the latter was a Black Friday-only deal, often with quantity limits (typically 20 per customer).
2. Tools and Equipment
This category is a Black Friday staple at Home Depot. Expect big discounts on brands like Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Ridgid. In 2024, shoppers saw:
-
Milwaukee M12 12V ¼” Hex Screwdriver Kit for $59 (was $99)
-
Ryobi 18V 3/8” Drill/Driver Kit for $39.88
-
Ridgid 16-Gallon NXT Wet/Dry Vac for $59.88 (was $119)
-
18-foot Aluminum Multi-Position Ladder for $89 (was $199)
Tools are typically available both in-store and online, but some models or kits may only be stocked locally.
3. Storage Solutions
These often show up in bulk buys. One of last year’s popular finds was the 27-gallon Tough Totes for $6.97 each, originally priced at $9.98. These types of deals usually go fast, especially in stores.
4. Appliances
This is where you’ll see some of the deepest discounts. Home Depot typically promotes appliance deals all month long in November, with some overlapping into Black Friday week. Last year’s Black Friday sale included:
-
GE Profile 4.9 cu. ft. Washer/Dryer Combo for $1798 (was $2599)
-
Maytag Washers or Dryers at $548 each
-
Whirlpool 24.7 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator for $1798 (was $2699)
On top of those prices, they also offered up to 40% off select appliances, up to $200 off select washer and dryer sets, and free delivery on qualifying purchases of $396 or more. Terms varied by location.
5. Smart Home Devices
Last year included deals on devices from Ring, Google Nest, and other brands. Examples included:
-
Ring 2-Piece Starter Set with doorbell and indoor camera for $79.99 (normally $159.98)
-
Google Nest Learning Thermostat (Gen 4) with Sensor for $229.99 (was $279.99)
Note that some of these smart home devices may be offered online only.
6. Cleaning & Vacuums
Vacuums, especially cordless models, are regular Black Friday picks. Last year’s standout was the Dyson V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum at $329.99, down from $469.
7. Paint and Flooring
Interior paint promos have become a regular thing during Black Friday at Home Depot. In 2024, Behr Premium Plus Interior Flat Paint & Primer was on sale for $30.98 per gallon.
Flooring isn’t overlooked either. Last year, 24”x48” large format porcelain tiles were marked down to $2.49 per sq. ft., down from $2.79. Multiple styles were included, offering solid savings for anyone mid-renovation.
8. Grills and Outdoor Gear
Cold weather doesn’t stop grill deals. Home Depot featured a 2-burner MegaMaster gas grill for $99, down from $119. They also featured a few larger, more expensive BBQ grills on sale.
