Amazon just announced the dates of its extra-long Black Friday Week sale: Everything we know so far

Amazon has announced its extended Black Friday Week sale, which will run from November 19 to November 30. This is the fourth consecutive year that Amazon has begun its Black Friday sale at least a week early, with the holiday itself falling on November 27 this year. Competitors such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Kohl's are also offering Black Friday deals throughout November, catering to early shoppers concerned about popular items selling out.

Key details about Amazon's sale include:

- The sale begins at 3 a.m. ET (12 a.m. PT) on Thursday, November 19.

- It is not exclusive to Prime members; anyone can shop during the holiday deals.

- Due to rising costs like fuel, tariffs, and the memory shortage (RAMageddon), Amazon's prices may not be as low as previous years. Notable price increases include Kindle e-readers, Fire TV Sticks, and Echo smart speakers.
