If you’re looking to save on home goods, seasonal items, food, clothing, or even just everyday essentials, Ocean State Job Lot’s upcoming Black Friday sale will be worth checking out. This isn’t a typical “one day only” sale as Job Lot usually spreads their deals across several days. Here’s a look at what kind of deals to expect this year, when to shop, what categories will be on sale, and examples of items that were discounted last year.
Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates and Timing
The sale is expected to officially begin on Black Friday itself, November 28, 2025. From there, deals will likely run through the following Wednesday, December 3, 2025. Stores are always closed on Thanksgiving Day.
But not everything will be available the entire time. Some of the best “doorbuster” deals are likely to be limited to the weekend (Friday through Sunday), while other deals might pop up on Monday and run through Wednesday.
The store ad is expected to be released online on Thanksgiving Day, and it’s usually about 27 pages long.
What Kind of Discounts Can You Expect?
A lot of items will likely have percentage discounts, most often around 25% to 30% off regular prices. Certain categories, like tarps, cookware, spices, batteries, and bedding, tend to get across-the-board discounts.
On top of percentage discounts, some items will have special sale prices that are much lower than usual, like socks for $1 or lounge pants for $6. There will also be a few “big ticket” discounts on things like vacuums, air fryers, or document shredders, though Ocean State Job Lot doesn’t usually sell high-end electronics like TVs or gaming consoles.
