Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026, so Black Friday is November 27 and Cyber Monday is November 30. This page covers what happens to prices after the Black Friday weekend: what stores have actually announced, and what to check before you count on a markdown. We only list dates a store has published; where a store hasn't announced anything, we say so.

Fall and Thanksgiving decor after the holiday
Seasonal fall and Thanksgiving items usually make way for Christmas stock, but stores don't publish when or how deep those markdowns go, and it varies by location. Check the shelf tag, the store app and the register price rather than trusting a percentage you read online. Our deal verification checklist helps.
Tips for after-Thanksgiving clearance
- Check return windows before you buy. Holiday return rules differ by store; see holiday return policies 2026.
- Selection vs price. The first markdown has the best selection; deeper markdowns usually mean less to choose from.
- Compare against the sale price, not the tag. Cyber Week prices online can beat an in-store clearance tag.
