What Were the Best Black Friday Deals 2022?

What was the date for Black Friday in 2022?

Black Friday in 2022 was Friday, November 25, followed by Cyber Monday on November 28. The dates mark two points in a broader promotion period, not necessarily the only days to shop: retailers advertised early offers and extended some sales into the following week, as the Democrat and Chronicle noted.

Retailer timing also differed. The Path to Purchase Institute reported Walmart’s online sale began November 21, while in-store deals began November 25; its online Cyber Monday event began November 27 and was extended through November 30. Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions ran November 24–28, with offers rotating frequently. That means the useful comparison was often between the date a particular item appeared and the price and terms attached to it—not simply Friday versus Monday.

Whose got the best Black Friday deals on sports and fitness gear?

No single retailer had the best deal across every sports and fitness category. The 2022 coverage shows different discounts on different products and sale dates, so the practical winner depended on the exact model, your size, stock, and checkout terms.

Use this three-part comparison before choosing a listing:

1. Match the item. Check the model name, generation, size, and included accessories. A similar-looking product may not be the same version.
2. Check the price claim. Compare the offer with a credible regular price, not only a crossed-out figure or a suggested list price.
3. Compare the checkout. Account for shipping, stock, and return terms. A lower displayed price may be less useful if the item is unavailable in your size or has less favorable terms.

The Federal Trade Commission’s pricing guidance in 16 CFR § 233.1 says a former price comparison is legitimate when the former price was a bona fide price offered regularly for a reasonably substantial period. It warns that artificially raising a former price to advertise a large reduction creates a false bargain. Sections 233.2 and 233.3 also distinguish comparisons with other retailers and manufacturer list prices: those comparisons should reflect representative, factual prices, and MSRP alone may not show what substantial sales actually cost. In short, ask what the item regularly sold for—not just what the banner says it used to cost.

What were the best Black Friday deals in 2022 for running shoes and fitness equipment?

Notable running and fitness examples included discounts on Nike items, apparel, and a Garmin running watch, but these were selected offers rather than a complete ranking of every retailer. Runner’s World’s page, updated November 29, documented deals continuing into Cyber Monday: select Nike items were up to 60% off with a CYBER code, Girlfriend Collective offered 40% off, and the Garmin Forerunner 245 was listed at 45% off.

Those examples cover different needs. A percentage off apparel does not tell you whether your preferred size remains in stock, and a watch discount only matters if the specific model fits your training needs. The article cautioned that offers could change through Cyber Monday; its update captured the moving target succinctly: “Cyber Monday may have come and gone, but the deals are still coming in.” Read the Runner’s World roundup as a dated record, then verify availability and terms for any purchase rather than assuming the listed offer remained unchanged.

Were there good Black Friday deals on golf equipment in 2022?

Yes, the November 2022 golf roundup listed discounts on clubs and accessories at several price points, rather than one universal best buy. MyGolfSpy’s Cyber Monday coverage on November 29 included these historical examples:

These figures come from MyGolfSpy’s 2022 golf deals roundup. They show why a headline percentage is only one decision input: the net had the largest listed discount in this set, while the irons and driver represented different equipment choices and prices. Compare the precise model and the price you would actually pay, then decide whether the item is useful enough to justify buying during that promotion.
