Many national retailers will have special holiday hours for Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that's famous for deals and discounts.
When you should shop depends on what you're looking for, CNBC reported.
"Black Friday will likely be the best day to get deals on kitchen goods, clothes, tools, beauty products, toys, laptops and appliances," the comparison-shopping website Dealnews wrote.
"But if you're looking for most types of electronics, Thanksgiving tends to have better deals. We're predicting Turkey Day will have the best deals on smartphones, speakers, tablets headphones and video games in 2018
"And if you want to buy a television or book your next vacation? Cyber Monday is probably the best time to shop."
