Black Friday is one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year, and Rent-A-Center has already built a pattern of starting early. Their sale is expected to begin on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, more than a week before Thanksgiving. Based on last year, new deals will likely appear throughout the event and run through Thanksgiving weekend (some will once again be online-only at rentacenter.com).
How Their Black Friday Sale Typically Works
Instead of one-time prices, Rent-A-Center lists items by weekly payments. Black Friday discounts bring those weekly costs down by a few dollars, which can add up to big savings across the term. For example, last year a PlayStation 5 Slim dropped from $26.99 per week to $19.99, which is a 25% cut.
The same structure applied across TVs, furniture, appliances, and mattresses. Some deals were modest, like $1 off per week for an Amana washer and dryer, while others reached nearly 40% off, especially on big-screen TVs.
Discounts to Expect
Looking at last year’s sale gives a good picture of what might come back here in 2025:
-
Consoles: PlayStation 5 Slim and Xbox Series X were both 25% off at $19.99 per week.
-
TVs: Samsung and TCL models saw the steepest cuts, including a 65″ Samsung UHD Smart TV that dropped 39% to $16.99 per week.
-
Furniture: Sofas, loveseats, and dining sets were mostly in the $16.99 to $19.99 range.
-
Mattresses: Sierra Sleep by Ashley queen mattresses were $19.99 per week, and kings were $24.99.
-
Appliances: Washer and dryer sets dropped slightly, like $23.99 per week instead of $24.99.
-
Laptops and Audio Gear: ASUS gaming laptops were $24.99 per week, and JBL Party Box speakers came in at 20% off.
