If you’re planning to shop Sears’ upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale, it helps to know the dates, the kinds of discounts Sears usually offers, and the types of products that tend to get the deepest price cuts. Looking at what happened last year gives a pretty clear idea of what might come back this year, along with a few updates. Here’s what we’re predicting this year.
Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Duration
Sears’ Black Friday sale in 2025 is expected to officially start at sears.com on Friday, November 28, 2025. Most deals should run through Saturday, November 29, 2025, although some may run just a day or two longer. Based on past years, many of the most popular items don’t stay in stock very long, so early shopping usually makes a difference.
Categories Likely to See Discounts
Appliances
Sears is well known for carrying appliances, especially with its Kenmore brand. In 2024, discounts on appliances reached up to 30% off. This included refrigerators, washers, dryers, and smaller kitchen appliances. Big-ticket appliances tend to be steady sellers for Sears, so similar discounts are likely again in 2025.
Tools
Craftsman tools are one of the standout categories every year. Last year, discounts reached up to 50% off, and some large tool sets were marked down by several hundred dollars. Tools are usually one of the most popular categories at Sears during Black Friday, with both professional and household kits getting reduced.
Electronics and Gaming
Sears isn’t usually the first store you think of for electronics, but it still offered deals in this category last year. You could find up to 30% off televisions, up to 25% off gaming consoles, and up to 50% off select electronics. Expect a smaller selection compared to larger electronics chains, but still some solid deals on mid-range TVs and console bundles.
Furniture and Home Goods
In 2024, Sears discounted furniture by up to 60% and bed and bath items by up to 60% as well. This is an area where Sears often beats specialty stores because of how wide their furniture catalog runs, especially online.
Jewelry
Jewelry saw some of the steepest discounts in 2024, with markdowns as high as 75% off. If jewelry is on your list, Sears usually brings some of its best Black Friday pricing in this category.
Specific Examples From 2024
Here are a few of the highlighted deals Sears ran last year. These give a clear idea of the kind of price cuts you might see again this year:

It’s possible something similar will return in 2025. Signing up ahead of time may help if Sears repeats the promotion.
