Best Buy deals aren't hard to find overall (they always have something on sale with their Best Buy Deal of the Day), but ideally you want nail savings of at least 40% on electronics and 15% on large appliances. And that's definitely possible during the Best Buy Black Friday in July sale. We last saw it in July 2025 (overlapping with Amazon Prime Day), and it'll be back next year.

Tips to Shop the Sale

Make the most of Best Buy Black Friday in July with a couple of shopping tips in your back pocket.

Use free store pickup for BestBuy.com orders unless you’re spending $35 or more.

While you can absolutely access the Best Buy Black Friday in July sale at BestBuy.com or in stores, please, oh please, don’t pay for shipping! Choose in-store or curbside pickup instead because it’s free.

If you’re buying electronics, which you probably are at Best Buy, you’ll reach $35 quickly, so it’s not a concern. But for smaller purchases, keep store pickup in mind!
