Black Friday 2024 falls on the 29th of November. Most larger Swedish stores, chains and warehouses host a Black Friday sale, and almost all online stores participate as well. The full week that includes Black Friday is referred to as Black Week and the discounts starts already on Monday.

There are a few things you can do beforehand to make sure you get the most out of Black Friday.

1. Make a list

Make a list of items you are wanting to buy, maybe for yourself or as Christmas gifts. Note down prices, where you can buy the items you want and prioritize getting what you need.

2. Do your research

Use a website like Pricerunner to compare prices and discounts, and keep track of who has the best deals.

3. Avoid bad deals

Be aware of return policies, read reviews and check the discounts. Discounts fluctuate, so you might get a better deal on the 25th of December when the Swedish Christmas sales start.
