Shopping Promotions & Sale Days
Halloween
October 31 — costumes, candy, and decorations drive one of fall's biggest retail pushes.
American retail runs on a fixed calendar of sale days: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Prime Day, Back to School. This page keeps every one of them in one place with its next date, how far away it is, and what the day is actually about — so you can plan a purchase around it instead of finding out afterwards that the price dropped a week later.
Every date here is recalculated for the current year instead of being stored, so the countdowns stay right without anyone editing them. Most follow a public rule — a federal holiday, or a fixed weekday like the Friday after Thanksgiving. Two do not, and we would rather say so: Back to School is placed on the first Monday in August, which is retail practice and not an official date, and Prime Day has no rule at all. Amazon announces it fresh each year, so it stays "Date TBA" until it does.
Open a promotion for what it is, what tends to be discounted, and what to watch out for before you buy.
