When it comes to finding the best Black Friday deals, don’t dismiss the drugstores. CVS Black Friday deals on essentials are very real, especially in stores.
Unlike many retailers in recent years (and even Walgreens in 2023), CVS was actually one of the stores open on Thanksgiving Day in 2023, and all the Black Friday deals were available to shop then too. The CVS Black Friday deals included up to 50% off select hair tools, over 80% off Gillette razors, Wet n Wild gift sets for only $4.99, and more.
Use our new Deal Planner™ feature in the free Krazy Coupon Lady app to set alerts when all the Black Friday deals drop, including CVS deals. We'll remind you when they start so you don't miss out.
CVS Black Friday is a weeklong sale with some big savings on essentials.
During the weeklong CVS Black Friday sale, you can expect substantial discounts on everyday essentials like toothpaste and razors, with discounts often reaching between 50% - 90% off. We also see lots of deals on beauty gift sets, hair appliances, electronics, toys, and bundled gift cards — deals that get even better by stacking ExtraBucks promotions and coupons on top of sale prices.
KCL predicts the next CVS Black Friday sale will begin Sunday, Nov. 24.
CVS hasn’t officially announced the next date for their Black Friday sale, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll take place between Sunday, Nov. 24, and Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024.
How do we make our prediction?
CVS has consistently followed the same pattern over the years, starting the sale the Sunday before Thanksgiving. In 2023, the sale started on Sunday, Nov. 19, and ran through Saturday, Nov. 25. We expect CVS to follow this same format in 2024.
The top CVS Black Friday deals our readers bought in 2023 were razors, oral care products, and gift sets.
You could shop these deals through Nov. 25, 2023, online and in CVS stores.

Shop CVS Black Friday deals in store and online
CVS Black Friday deals are available both in store and online, but the in-store experience often has a slight edge. For example, some of the hottest deals, like highly discounted beauty gift sets or doorbuster deals, tend to sell out quickly in stores. However, many items, such as personal care products, toys, and even hair tools, are also available online with similar discounts. Shopping in-store on Thanksgiving Day can give you early access to these deals, but online shopping offers the convenience of snagging deals from home.
There's no official Cyber Monday sale at CVS.
Keep in mind that CVS doesn’t offer a dedicated Cyber Monday sale, so if you're looking for the best deals, it's smart to focus on their Black Friday weeklong offers instead.
