Amazon & Co. change their top deals at regular intervals. Some discounts come to light unexpectedly, while others serve to free up space in the warehouse for newer products and to please interested buyers. It must be emphasized that the “old” products are not bad per se, but rather good-value goods from the last season or technology generation. All bargains are only valid as long as stocks last.

What and when is Black Friday?
Black Friday has been a permanent fixture in the United States for decades, and every year millions of Americans gather in front of the shopping malls early in the morning, hoping to pick up the best bargains of the year. The large online shops also offer special offers and, in some cases, strong discounts on this day.
Black Friday traditionally takes place on the Friday after the American Thanksgiving Day. This year it falls on Friday, November 26th, 2021. Individual retailers, including Amazon, have already rescheduled the start to Friday, November 19th, 2021.
In Germany, Black Friday was introduced by Apple in 2006 when the US group released its Black Friday offers to German customers for the first time. Since then, the day has firmly established itself in the German retail calendar and continues to be celebrated by retailers as “Black Week” for a whole week. This week of discounts also traditionally ends in Germany with Cyber Monday, on which retailers concentrate on discounts on electronic or digital devices.
Black Friday in Germany: Who is participating?
In addition to the large online retailers Amazon and Ebay, numerous retailers from different areas take part in Black Friday. These include well-known companies such as Otto, Saturn, Media Markt, Tchibo and Zalando.
While Black Friday in Germany took place primarily on the Internet for many years, it has now also made the leap into the country’s pedestrian zones and shopping malls. In the past, it has been observed in large cities that almost every retail sector – from the small bakery to the eyewear shop to the supermarket – wanted a piece of the Black Friday cake and lured them with appropriate offers.
Black Friday Deals: Discount hunters should watch out for this
How much the customer really benefits from the campaign days is controversial. The comparison portal Idealo.de came to the result of a random sample that of 2237 products examined on Black Friday 2019 actually 1722 cheaper than in the previous month, 320 were reduced by 20 percent or more. Large price jumps were therefore rather the exception. The consumer advice center advises consumers to keep a cool head when hunting for bargains. Price comparisons in search engines like idealo.de (like WELT belongs to Axel Springer SE) could be more worthwhile than the special offers on the day of the campaign.
The respective offers of the day are gathered on an offer page *, which is broken down into further subcategories. If you already know which areas are of interest to you, it will make browsing easier for you and you will find the products that suit you more quickly. Since, for example, flash offers are available to members of Amazon Prime 30 minutes earlier, it can be worthwhile to take out a trial membership * – this is free for 30 days.
