Black Friday 2024 is almost here, but the holiday deals are already here. Here's a look at how the Friday after Thanksgiving came to be all about shopping.

In the 1950s, Philadelphia police used the term "Black Friday" to describe a day of chaos that ensued on the day after Thanksgiving, when mass crowds of suburban shoppers flooded the city before the Army-Navy football game held on the Saturday after the holiday every year.

Black Friday is finally upon us, willing us to purchase some much-needed tech with some degree of a discount. Our Black Friday hub has been collecting the best deals available, so you can save a bundle in the run-up to the holidays.
